Experience : 5+ Years

Location : Remote

REQUIRED SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS

Mindset :

- Analytical, detail-oriented, and capable of reverse-engineering undocumented legacy code.

Collaboration :

- Strong communication and teamwork skills to collaborate effectively with U.S.-based stakeholders and proactively manage risks, blockers, and dependencies.

Legacy Expertise :

Modernization Experience :

- Proven track record of migrating AS400 workloads to public cloud environments (Azure preferred).

Data Migration Tools :

- Experience with ETL/ELT tools, change data capture (CDC) software, and modern data platforms.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

System Analysis :

- Audit existing AS400 applications, DB2 databases, CL programs, and RPG/COBOL codebase to map out dependencies and business rules.

Migration Execution :

- Design and execute data migration strategies from DB2/400 to modern cloud data stores (e.g., Azure SQL, Databricks).

Integration & Testing :

- Develop APIs and middleware to handle coexistence scenarios where legacy and modern systems must run in parallel during phased rollouts.

Validation :

- Ensure strict data integrity, schema mapping, and performance tuning post-migration.
