We are seeking an experienced PowerBuilder developer to provide ongoing maintenance and production support for a legacy business application. The immediate priority is to maintain application stability, diagnose issues efficiently, and implement focused, low-risk fixes. While the current phase of the role is centered on maintenance rather than new development or modernization, the application is expected to transition to a newer platform in the future. The selected candidate will have opportunities to broaden their technical knowledge and support the organization's evolving systems and application needs. Because technical documentation is limited, the selected candidate must be comfortable analyzing and reverse-engineering an unfamiliar legacy codebase rather than relying solely on detailed technical specifications.

Responsibilities: 

• Investigate and resolve application incidents and support tickets.
• Diagnose issues involving PowerBuilder, DataWindows, PowerScript, SQL, Oracle, and related application interfaces.
• Analyze existing application code, object inheritance, business logic, and data flows.
• Create and maintain basic technical documentation as system knowledge is developed.
• Communicate clearly about findings, risks, effort estimates, and recommended next steps.
• Support application builds and deployments when required.
• Respond to routine and priority issues within established support timeframes.
• Also Provide support to other applications that are written in .Net.

Job Requirements: 

• Five or more years of hands-on PowerBuilder development experience, including production support of legacy applications.
• Strong experience maintaining and troubleshooting existing PowerBuilder applications.
• Advanced knowledge of DataWindows, including: Retrieval and update logic, Computed columns, Nested and composite DataWindows
• Strong PowerScript skills, including event-driven logic and object inheritance involving windows, menus, and user objects.
• Demonstrated ability to debug undocumented or unfamiliar codebases and determine system behavior directly from existing code.
• Proficiency with PowerBuilder tools such as Object Browser, Find in PBLs, and cross-reference or dependency reports.
• Strong SQL skills, including the ability to analyze and tune queries embedded in DataWindows.
• Experience working with Oracle databases or the ability to quickly become proficient with the application's database environment.
• Experience troubleshooting application interfaces and data-processing issues.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to clearly document technical findings, changes, risks, and deployment procedures.

 Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing, maintaining, troubleshooting, and supporting enterprise applications using C# and Microsoft .NET.
• Experience with the application's applicable web framework, such as ASP.NET Web Forms, ASP.NET MVC, Web API, or ASP.NET Core.
• Experience with financial applications, particularly fund management, budgeting, or capital-program funding.
• Experience creating technical documentation for legacy applications.
• Familiarity with source-control, backup, build, and release-management practices for PowerBuilder applications.

Listed salary ranges may vary based on experience, qualifications, and local market. Also, some positions may include bonuses or other incentives.
