Team Leadership

• Lead and mentor a team of engineers responsible for maintaining legacy systems.

• Align team efforts with broader migration goals while balancing day-to-day operational priorities.

• Provide technical guidance and decision-making support for the team.

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Act as the primary point of contact for business units relying on legacy systems.

• Partner with the next-generation architecture team to develop a phased migration strategy.

• Communicate status updates on legacy system health and migration progress to stakeholders.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. Equivalent practical experience is acceptable.

• 8–10 years of engineering experience, with a focus on legacy system maintenance and modernization.

• Proven track record in managing complex legacy platforms and planning large-scale migrations.
