What You’ll Do

• Lead comprehensive codebase and database inventories using static analysis tooling, quantifying code composition, identifying architectural patterns and anti-patterns, and distinguishing auto-generated code from hand-written business logic
• Conduct deep-dive code quality analysis, evaluating complexity hotspots, maintainability, and technical debt to inform stabilization priorities and documentation effort estimates
• Assess the full application stack for modernization readiness, including frontend technologies, backend and service layer architecture, authentication and authorization flows, data layer complexity, and external system integrations and cataloguing dependencies, deprecated protocols, and third-party components
• Design the target modern architecture, defining technology choices, state management, API layer patterns, authentication strategy, and component library approach for a React-based SPA
• Evaluate migration patterns and recommend a phased modernization strategy informed by module dependencies, complexity scoring, and effort estimation
• Co-create application module and domain maps to evaluate codebase suitability for AI-assisted tooling
• Participate in vendor knowledge transfer sessions as the primary technical representative and contribute technical risk assessments to the consolidated risk register
• Present technical findings and recommendations in executive readouts and deep-dive sessions with client teams
  
  

What You’ll Bring

• 12+ years of software architecture and engineering experience
• Deep expertise in .NET Framework: must be able to read, understand, and assess Web Forms (code-behind, ViewState, page lifecycle), MVC (controllers, Razor views), and legacy patterns common in 15-20 year old applications
• Backend/API design experience: RESTful API design, authentication/authorization patterns (OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, JWT), session-to-token migration strategies
• Experience with legacy application modernization: experience migrating server-rendered .NET applications to modern SPA frameworks
• Experience with static code analysis tools (SonarQube, NDepend, or equivalents)
• Strong architectural documentation skills: ability to produce clear architecture diagrams (C4 model preferred), complexity heat maps, and technical assessment reports
• Experience with migration patterns and when to apply them: strangler fig, micro-frontends, API gateway patterns, parallel running strategies
• Demonstratable hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools
  
  

Nice to Have

• Experience with TypeScript
• Ability to reverse-engineer undocumented systems: extract architecture, patterns, and business rules from code in the absence of documentation
• Experience with reporting migration (SSRS, Crystal Reports)
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools for code analysis and documentation
• Experience with third-party .NET UI controls (Telerik, DevExpress, Infragistics) and their React equivalents
• Cloud architecture experience
• Experience with SignalR/WebSocket migration to React real-time patterns
• Performance engineering experience: ability to identify and plan for performance-critical migration areas
• Experience in React must be able to design a production-grade React architecture including state management, component design patterns, routing, build tooling, and API integration patterns
