Job Description

Senior Technical Architect (Application Modernization)

We are seeking a visionary Technical Architect with a deep background in Application Modernization to lead a critical digital transformation. This role is focused on deconstructing a legacy 2-tier architecture and rebuilding it into a scalable, high-performance N-tier system.

You will be the bridge between the past and the future—moving our logic out of SQL stored procedures and migrating our legacy C# frontend into a modern, responsive React/Redux ecosystem.

Core Responsibilities

• Architectural Strategy: Define the roadmap for migrating a monolithic 2-tier application (Client/Server) to a decoupled, N-tier architecture.
• Legacy Deconstruction: Analyze legacy C# codebases and complex SQL stored procedures to identify business logic for extraction.
• Modernization Execution: Lead the shift of business logic from the database layer into a dedicated C#/.NET Business Logic Layer (BLL) or Microservices.
• Frontend Leadership: Direct the transition from legacy UI to a modern React.js frontend, utilizing Redux for robust state management using Vite, Material UI, Redux Toolkit, React Query, React Hook Form, and Styled Components/SCSS.
• Ensure cross-browser compatibility, visual consistency, and WCAG accessibility compliance.
• API Design: Architect and implement secure, RESTful APIs that serve as the communication backbone between the new frontend and the re‑engineered backend.
• Technical Governance: Establish coding standards, design patterns (e.g., Repository, Unit of Work), and CI/CD pipelines tailored for modernization projects.

Technical Requirements

• Modernization: Proven experience moving logic from Stored Procedures to Application Code (Refactoring the “Smart Database” anti‑pattern).
• Frontend: Expert‑level proficiency in React.js, Redux / Redux Toolkit, Vite, Material UI, React Query, React Hook Form, and Styled Components/SCSS, and modern CSS frameworks (Bootstrap).
• Backend: Strong mastery of C# and .NET (6/7/8/9+), specifically in building Web APIs and Service Layers (must have strong hands‑on experience in RestSharp, Dapper, Fluent Validations etc.).
• Database: Deep understanding of SQL Server; ability to read/debug complex legacy T‑SQL and optimize new schemas.
• Architecture: Solid grasp of N‑tier architecture, Dependency Injection, and Microservices patterns.
• Cloud/Containerization: Expert‑level proficiency in Cloud (Azure), Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Cache Mechanism: Strong mastery in Redis for Cache Management.

Experience & Qualifications

• Modernization Veteran: 15+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 5+ years specifically leading Legacy-to-Modern migration projects.
• The “2-to‑N” Specialist: Demonstrated success in breaking down 2‑tier “Fat Client” or “Fat DB” systems into modular N‑tier environments.
• Strategic Thinker: Ability to balance “perfect” architecture with business continuity.
• Communication: Ability to explain technical debt and architectural ROI to stakeholders who may only see the UI changes.
• Industry certifications would definitely be considered.
