“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (5)
The role sits between Software Developer (15-1252) and Computer Systems Analyst (15-1211): the primary work is modifying and enhancing RPG/CL applications (developer), but the job also involves working directly with end users to troubleshoot and improve business processes (analyst). Developer was chosen as primary because the majority of described tasks involve writing and maintaining code.
IBM i / AS400 is listed as a single requirement; 'AS400' is captured as an alternative since both names refer to the same platform.
IBM Power9, Windows 10/11, and Microsoft Office appear only in the 'Technology Environment' stack narrative section, not in the Qualifications block, so they are treated as context rather than hard gates.
The posting is placed through a staffing firm (ComputerPeople Staffing) on behalf of a Western New York manufacturer; the role itself is described as a direct hire (full-time) position.
Location is described as Western New York; Buffalo-Cheektowaga, NY CBSA is the best match for that region.
