  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into clean, maintainable technical solutions
  • Ensure system stability, security, and operational excellence across environments
  • Ensure GenAI exposure

Required Technical Skills

  • Deep expertise in legacy code refactoring and modernization
  • Strong experience with database design, stored procedures, SQL performance tuning, and refactoring
  • Strong coding experience in at least one secondary language: Node.js / Java / .NET
  • Hands-on experience with Apache and IIS, including configuration and performance tuning
  • Strong understanding of DevOps practices (CI/CD, version control, automated builds, deployment strategies)
  • Experience with application and database performance optimization

DevOps & Operational Expertise

  • Experience implementing CI/CD pipelines using industry-standard tools
  • Knowledge of environment management, logging, monitoring, and alerting
  • Understanding of release management, rollback strategies, and production support best practices
  • Exposure to infrastructure automation and configuration management

Nice to Have

  • Experience modernizing monolithic applications into modular or service-oriented architectures
  • Exposure to cloud platforms and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Knowledge of security best practices for web applications
  • Experience working in enterprise or regulated environments
