Normally teams dealing with RPG are the one wanted by banks (to maintain and enhance (minor). This way is much cheaper than outsourcing to Slake (will handle major enhancement) or other companies) If one is doing R&D using Java, C etc the opportunities are different. Probably same like being in other software company. Major systems like Card Payment Systems, Loan, ATM, Core banking are written in RPG. Smaller modules or sub systems that requires newer technology are what the R&D does.  You mentioned mobility so maybe phone apps are one of them.
