We are supporting a major financial services client in hiring a Pro*C Programmer to work on a legacy, bespoke system, with the aim of expanding it.

This is a hands-on development role working as part of a project team alongside existing support SMEs who do not have Pro*C capabilities. The successful candidate will review the existing Pro*C codebase in detail and determine how the current batch processing suite can be optimised or re-engineered to increase capacity, with minimal impact on downstream systems. Further application-level work may also be required as issues emerge through the change and regression testing process.

This role suits an experienced Pro*C Programmer comfortable working independently on a legacy, bespoke codebase, and confident acting as the resident Pro*C specialist within a wider support and project team.

Key Responsibilities

• Review the existing Pro*C codebase for the relevant system in detail to understand current batch processing architecture and constraints
• Determine how the current batch processing suite can be optimised within its existing architecture, or re-engineered onto new architecture, to increase data volume capacity
• Work alongside existing support SMEs who do not have Pro*C capabilities, acting as the resident Pro*C specialist within the project team
• Implement changes to batch processing programs with minimal impact on downstream systems
• Support full regression testing following changes, identifying and addressing any further application-level issues that emerge

Essential Skills

• Strong, hands-on Pro*C programming experience
• Strong Oracle SQL or PL/SQL experience
• Experience reviewing, maintaining and optimising legacy, bespoke batch processing systems
• Experience re-engineering or re-architecting legacy code to increase data volume or processing capacity
• Ability to work independently reviewing and interpreting existing, undocumented legacy codebases
• Experience supporting full regression testing to ensure minimal impact on downstream systems
• Comfortable working as part of a wider project and support team, acting as the specialist Pro*C resource

Desirable Skills

• Experience working within financial services or other highly regulated environments
• Experience with high-volume batch processing systems
• Experience working on legacy or bespoke systems within public sector or financial services clients
