Find Freelance COBOL Programmers for Your Projects

COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) development supports legacy systems that are still vital in sectors such as finance, government, and insurance. While it may seem outdated, COBOL continues to power mainframe systems behind many mission-critical applications. For small businesses managing or modernizing legacy tech, COBOL programmers offer essential expertise. They ensure your operations stay stable, secure, and compatible with modern tools without starting from scratch.

 

Essential Skills to Look for in COBOL Developers

Mastery of COBOL programming and syntax

Experience with mainframe systems (e.g., IBM z/OS)

Familiarity with JCL, CICS, and DB2 databases

Knowledge of legacy-to-modern system integrations

Strong debugging and batch processing skills

 

What Hourly Rate Do Freelance Cobol Programmers Charge?

Freelance COBOL developers typically charge between $50 and $100 per hour. Rates vary based on experience, complexity of the legacy system, and integration needs. Given the niche expertise, more seasoned COBOL programmers may fall on the higher end of that range.
