    COBOL Documentation Expertise: Must have significant, hands-on experience (at least 2+ years) where a primary responsibility was analyzing, understanding, and formally documenting the business logic contained within COBOL programs, JCL, and related mainframe assets.
  •        Demonstrated Documentation Mastery: A portfolio or ability to discuss in detail past projects where you created BRDs/FSDs from scratch by reverse-engineering legacy code.
    Technical Acumen: Strong ability to read and interpret COBOL and JCL. Solid understanding of UNIX environment
  •        Exceptional Communication Skills: A unique ability to translate complex technical details from source code into clear, unambiguous business and functional requirements for non-technical stakeholders.
