- Experience with the Java programming language
- Experience with Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE)
- Knowledge of Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE)
- Basic knowledge of Extensible Markup Language (XML)
AND/OR - Knowledge of object-oriented programming concepts
- Experience with the C# or Visual Basic programming language
- Experience with the Microsoft .NET framework
- Experience with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
AND/OR - Have a basic understanding of the Enterprise COBOL programming language
- Be able to build a COBOL copybook
- Be able to compile, link, and execute a COBOL program
