Overview of Role

We are seeking an experienced and hands-on App Dev Architect to lead a critical technical migration initiative for our client. In this role, you will be the technical anchor responsible for architecting the transition of legacy business logic from Oracle stored procedures into highly scalable, modern .NET 8 microservices.

Leading a dedicated team of backend engineers, ensuring technical excellence, robust system design, and seamless cross-border collaboration.

Start date: ASAP

Duration: 5+ Months

Responsibilities

Architectural Migration: Lead the technical strategy, design, and execution of extracting deep business logic from existing Oracle PL/SQL stored procedures and re-architecting them into highly modular .NET 8 microservices.
Cloud & DevOps Leadership: Design and oversee the deployment architecture within a cloud environment, primarily leveraging AWS EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) and AWS Service Mesh (or equivalent cloud native tools).
Team Technical Leadership: Provide direct mentorship, technical direction, and code/design review guardrails for a team of 5 backend engineers.
Design & Best Practices: Define microservices patterns, database communication strategies, data validation frameworks, and performance-tuning guidelines for the new ecosystem.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the primary technical point of contact during the migration, bridging the gap between legacy database structures and modern cloud-native architectures.

Qualifications

Total Experience: 10+ years in software engineering with a strong progression into application and system architecture. 5+ years of experience in core architecture.
Backend Expertise: Expert-level proficiency in .NET 8 core frameworks, C#, and building robust Web APIs / microservices.
Database Mastery: Deep hands-on experience with Oracle SQL / PL/SQL. You must be highly proficient at reading, analyzing, and dismantling complex legacy stored procedures.
Cloud Infrastructure: Strong hands-on experience with cloud platforms, specifically AWS. Proven familiarity with AWS EKS and AWS Service Mesh architectures is highly preferred (experience with comparable container orchestration and service mesh tools on Azure/GCP will be considered).
Leadership Capabilities: Prior experience leading or mentoring small-to-medium development teams (4–6 engineers), managing sprint technical goals, and executing code quality frameworks.
A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related or equivalent work experience required.
