Tech Focus: Not a platform build, but a customer product built over a decade ago, currently using traditional C/C++. The goal is to modernize and migrate the product to Java. The current system is outdated and clunky, and the project is currently behind schedule (2 quarters behind).
Key Challenge: Migration to Java is a priority to scale the system and leverage AI technology.
Experience: Strong problem-solving skills required—candidates must not only be familiar with the code but have actually solved problems within it. Experience in similar large tech migrations is a must.
Experience Level: 15-20+ years of engineering experience.
Industry Background: Suggested that we look at candidates from finance or healthcare with experience in on-prem services are ideal.
Tech Skills: Proven experience solving problems in C/C++ and migrating to Java. Previous experience with migrations related to large, consumer-facing products is a plus (not internal apps).
Collaboration: This project requires strong cross-collaboration across product, DevOps, and engineering teams. The work involves building, testing, and deploying code, migrating features in chunks
