• Design, implement, and maintain AI-driven tooling to automate legacy system migrations (e.g., monoliths to microservices, .NET Framework to .NET Core, AngularJS to modern frameworks).
• Collaborate with AI Engineers and the Head of Development to integrate Lang Chain and Semantic Kernel agents into workflows.
• Use platforms like Devin to orchestrate repetitive development tasks.
• Build modular, reusable utilities for parsing, transforming, and refactoring frontend, backend, and database code.
• Run proof of concepts for AI automation in areas such as test generation, API modernization, schema translation, and dependency analysis.
• Contribute to evolving the team's sophisticated migration methodology, enhancing automation coverage and robustness.
• Adapt to diverse legacy stacks, including proprietary or niche technologies.
• Highly autonomous and proactive in identifying opportunities for automation.
• Strong collaborator with clear communication, especially in cross-functional technical teams.
• Willing to learn rapidly evolving AI tools and frameworks.
• Detail-oriented with a mindset for quality and maintainability, even when automating.

REQUIREMENTS:

• 5+ years of full-stack software development experience, with strong skills in at least two of: C#, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java.
• Proven experience modernizing or migrating legacy systems (e.g., WinForms, Web Forms, VB.NET, classic ASP, SQL Server, Oracle).
• Strong command of code refactoring, dependency mapping, and system decomposition best practices.
• Hands-on experience building or integrating AI tools into development workflows.
• Familiarity with Lang Chain, Semantic Kernel, Devin, or similar frameworks/agents.

ADDITIONAL or PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Background in the .NET ecosystem (ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework, MS Build).
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) and DevOps tools (Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions)
• Exposure to AI-integrated IDEs (Cursor, Devin).
• Comfort with scripting in Python, TypeScript, or PowerShell.

BENEFITS:

EMPLOYEE PERKS:

• Be part of a pioneering AI-first modernization team working at portfolio level.
