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
Category 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.
