Job Summary:

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help maintain, stabilize, and modernize a critical platform built on technologies such as Visual Basic 6, Classic ASP, and Oracle.

This is not a “greenfield” role. You will work hands-on with a mature, complex, and sometimes fragile system while helping design and execute its evolution toward modern architecture (APIs, new services, and modern frontends).

We are looking for someone who is technically strong, highly curious, proactive, and comfortable navigating imperfect systems.

Primary Functions:

● Maintain, troubleshoot, and stabilize a legacy system built on VB6, Classic ASP, and related technologies.

● Analyze and understand complex, long-standing business logic and system dependencies.

● Identify risks, performance issues, and architectural limitations.

● Improve code quality, reliability, and maintainability over time.

● Design and implement modernization initiatives, such as:

○Building APIs to replace legacy logic or DLL-based components.

○Creating new microservices or backend services.

○Developing replacement or complementary frontends.

● Work with Oracle databases through existing packages and embedded queries.

● Support and prepare the system for future database migration initiatives (Oracle → PostgreSQL).

● Collaborate with product, business, and technical stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions.

● Use GitHub effectively for version control, code reviews, and collaboration.

● Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions.

● Work with cloud infrastructure and services in Microsoft Azure.

● Apply AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Cursor, Cloud Code, AI copilots) to accelerate analysis, development, and troubleshooting.

● Proactively identify improvement opportunities and propose actionable solutions.

What Success Looks Like in This Role

Within the first months, you will:

● Gain a strong understanding of the legacy platform.

● Reduce recurring issues and system instability.

● Improve documentation and technical visibility.

● Deliver initial modernization components (APIs, services, refactors).

● Establish efficient workflows using AI-assisted tools.

● Become a trusted technical reference for the system.

Job Qualifications:

The qualifications we are looking for are mixture of work experience and educational background.

They are split into Minimum Qualifications (must have) and Additional Qualifications (nice to have) along with soft skills (competencies) needed for the role:

Minimum Qualifications:

  • 6+ years of professional experience as a software engineer or Full Stack Developer (working in hybrid and complex environments where modern and legacy technologies coexist)
  • 6+ years of experience working with Git and GitHub workflows.
  • 6+ years of experience with debugging and troubleshooting.
  • 6+ years of experience working with modern backend stack mainly .NET Core / .NET (Python, Node.js, etc. are nice to have)
  • 4+ years of experience understanding and navigating unfamiliar, undocumented, or poorly documented codebases.
  • 4+ years of experience working with PostgreSQL (experience in migrations is highly desired)
  • 4+ years of experience building, consuming and supporting RESTful APIs.
  • 3+ years of experience working with authentication and authorization protocols (OAuth, JWT, etc.)
  • 3+ years of experience working with modern frontend frameworks, preferably React.
  • 3+ years of experience working with Microsoft Azure (compute, networking, storage, and deployment workflows).
  • 3+ years of experience building CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions.
  • 2+ years of experience working with Oracle databases.
  • 1+ years of experience using AI coding assistants in daily workflows

Additional Qualifications:

  • Previous experience modernizing legacy systems.
  • Hands-on experience with database migration projects.
  • Familiarity with enterprise systems and long-running business platforms.
  • Experience refactoring monolithic systems into modular or service-oriented architectures.
  • Exposure to infrastructure-as-code and cloud automation.
  • Exposure to CI/CD optimization and deployment strategies.
  • Understanding of system design and data modeling patterns (entity-relationship, object-oriented, layered architectures).

Soft Skills:

  • Bias for Action: Takes initiative and moves problems forward.
  • Curiosity: Enjoys digging deep into systems to understand how things really work.
  • Problem Ownership: Doesn’t wait to be told—identifies issues and proposes solutions.
  • Resilience: Comfortable working in imperfect, evolving environments.
  • Pragmatism: Balances ideal solutions with real-world constraints.
  • Clear Communication: Able to explain technical issues and trade-offs clearly.
  • This role requires someone who does not shy away from complexity and ambiguity.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
