Progress Software Engineering

Role Overview

Our team maintains and extends established business applications built using Progress
OpenEdge / ABL. Much of this work involves understanding and safely modifying long-lived
applications, troubleshooting existing behavior, implementing enhancements, and
extending existing systems to participate in newer application architectures.

The majority of the work is legacy application maintenance and enhancement. New
development is also required, particularly around the creation of APIs that make existing
Progress application capabilities available to other systems.

Effective augmentation requires strong Progress development skills as well as positive
software engineering judgment. A resource needs to be able to understand unfamiliar
existing code, determine the implications of a proposed change, communicate effectively
with the internal team, and make changes without unnecessarily destabilizing established
systems.

Progress Development
The team’s Progress work includes:
 Development using Progress ABL / Progress 4GL




 Supporting applications running on Progress OpenEdge 11.7 and later
 Maintaining and enhancing established Progress applications
 Understanding and safely modifying unfamiliar or legacy code
 Debugging and tracing application behavior through existing codebases
 Implementing new functionality within established applications
 Working with Progress database access from an application developer’s

perspective

Deep Progress database administration knowledge is not required for this development
profile.

API and Integration Development

An increasing portion of the work involves enabling established Progress systems to
integrate with newer applications and services.

Relevant capabilities include:

 Creating APIs around existing Progress application capabilities
 Understanding HTTP and REST-style APIs
 Separating business logic from API or transport concerns where practical
 Designing clear interfaces between
