This initiative encompasses a multi-year effort involving various components: an event-driven integration gateway, domain-driven APIs, contemporary MFE-based user interfaces, and a strategy to decommission legacy application layers. We are seeking a high-impact Staff Software Engineer to lead the technical execution of our ERP modernization strategy. This is a "Builder-Architect" role focused on converting our core COBOL (BusinessPlus) and Genero (eFinancePlus) products into a modern, domain driven C#/.NET architecture. You will not just be writing code; you will be building the Agentic Modernization Factory-a suite of AI-driven tools and pipelines that automate the translation, refactoring, and validation of legacy business logic at scale. You will also architect the "Unified Bridge" that allows our modernized services to operate seamlessly across 1,000+ customer instances, whether deployed in our cloud or on-premise., * Hands-on experience with AWS services such as EventBridge, Lambda, and API Gateway, along with expertise in hybrid networking solutions including PrivateLink, VPC, and Site-to-Site VPN. * Design an asynchronous integration gateway utilizing AWS tools, while establishing canonical data contracts. This includes developing adapters for data normalization and defining API conventions across various endpoints. * Implement micro-frontend (MFE) applications using React and TypeScript, with an emphasis on user self-service functionalities. Ensure comprehensive deployment and validation within a specified testing framework. * Develop event schemas and establish publish/subscribe patterns for domain events via EventBridge. Create connector Lambdas to facilitate event translation and integrate resilience patterns for robustness. * Engage in a comprehensive SaaS platform consolidation strategy by utilizing established integration patterns. Define and promote modernization practices that can be seamlessly adopted by different teams across the organization. ## Related Videos - [Rest API Antipatterns](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100208-rest-api-antipatterns) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Crew Management System for Airlines: Plan duties for pilots & flight attendants worldwide](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1444-crew-management-system-for-airlines-plan-duties-for-pilots-flight-attendants-worldwide) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) - [The Software Engineer 2030: From Coder To AI Orchestrator? - Patrick Schnell](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1825-the-software-engineer-2030-from-coder-to-ai-orchestrator-patrick-schnell) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Best Coding Boot Camps in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/237-best-coding-boot-camps-in-germany) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
