COBOL/Natural/Adabas Project Identifier SC Client South Carolina Agency State of South Carolina Location Remote (Role is 100% remote; 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM) 1200 Senate St, Columbia, South Carolina, USA, 29201. No SC residency required. Candidate must reside in lower 48 states (Continental US) and comfortable working EST time zone hours. Contract Duration 6 Months Interview Type 1-2 rounds of Virtual Interviews Visa Requirements The candidate will have to be on an Innosoft W2. At least 6 months of valid work authorization (Citizen, OPT-EAD, -EAD) Tentative Start Date 12/01/2026 Deadline 11/0405/2026 Project Overview Build a new pooled-account structure inside a running z/OS core, without disturbing the balances already on it. We are adding new composite reservoir accounts to our existing mainframe accounting platform: a pooled account structure in which balances from multiple subsidiary accounts are concentrated into, and drawn back from, a single reservoir account under defined sweep and allocation rules. This is additional function inside a legacy system. You will be reading a large body of COBOL that has been in production for an extended period, much of it lightly documented, and extending it so that the new account type posts, settles, accrues, reports, and reconciles exactly as the existing types do. Correctness and traceability of every cent matter more than speed of delivery. Production changes follow formal change control with peer review and a signed-off implementation plan. Duties/Responsibilities: Analyze the current account master, posting, and balance-maintenance programs to establish where composite reservoir accounts must be recognized, and document what you find. Design and code the new account type end to end: master file and table structures, account opening and closing, participant linkage, sweep and reverse-sweep logic, allocation and interest apportionment, and closing balance derivation. Modify batch COBOL programs and JCL and extend the nightly and month-end cycles to include the new processing without lengthening the batch window beyond agreed limits. Add new CRAs to the audit trail, exception reporting, and reconciliation controls the new function requires, working with accounting stakeholders on what must be evidenced. Produce test data, unit and regression test packs, and parallel-run comparisons against current production output; investigate every difference until it is explained. Support implementation, conversion of any in-scope existing accounts, and early-life production runs, including on-call cover during the first cycles. Leave behind program documentation, data-flow notes, and runbook updates that the support team can work from.

Requirements
