It’s a great chance to take on new projects, new teams, and make your mark on a growing business. If you’ve got the right mix of skills and industry experience, this could be the perfect role for you.
Our client takes pride in their people. When you join their team, you’ll find a workplace that facilitates challenge, achievement, and growth.
Position Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled and business-minded ERP Modernization Architect to join a collaborative team tasked with reengineering our core, home-grown Order-to-Cash ERP system. Developed and refined over the past 30 years in Visual Basic 6, this mission-critical platform is being rewritten in C# to support long-term scalability and modernization.
This role requires an individual who excels in architectural thinking, hands-on coding, and process understanding. You'll work closely with business leaders and legacy system experts to translate complex, custom logic into modern, maintainable C# code, while identifying and implementing opportunities to improve business workflows along the way.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the technical architect for the VB6-to-C# modernization effort, helping define structural approaches to code refactoring and system design.
- Analyze legacy Visual Basic 6 code to extract, understand, and document business logic and system behavior.
- Collaboratively re-implement this logic in C#, using best practices for performance, maintainability, and extensibility.
- Work with IT and business stakeholders to validate business process fidelity and recommend enhancements when applicable.
- Mentor developers on the team and ensure technical consistency and code quality across the modernization effort.
- Contribute to system testing, performance tuning, and release planning.
Required Technical Skills
- Expert proficiency in C# and deep working knowledge of Visual Basic 6.
- Proven experience designing and modernizing monolithic ERP or custom enterprise systems.
- Strong knowledge of .NET Framework/.NET Core, object-oriented design, and service-oriented architecture.
- Proficient with SQL Server, including writing and optimizing stored procedures and database structures.
- Familiarity with source control tools such as Git, and CI/CD workflows.
Integration & Ecosystem Understanding
- Working knowledge of integrating Order-to-Cash systems with external systems in the ERP ecosystem, particularly:
- QAD for MRP/DRP (Material and Distribution Requirements Planning) functions.
- Oracle Transportation Management (TMS) for outbound logistics and freight execution.
- Ability to design or refactor interfaces between internal applications and external ERP modules (via APIs, flat files, or EDI).
- Familiarity with enterprise messaging patterns and system interoperability best practices.
- Capable of identifying integration points, ensuring data consistency, and maintaining transaction integrity across platforms.
Business and Analytical Skills
- Demonstrated ability to understand and reverse-engineer complex business logic embedded in legacy code.
- Ability to collaborate with domain experts to ensure functional accuracy and continuity.
- Strong communication and documentation skills — able to bridge the gap between technical implementation and business needs.
- Comfortable working in a hybrid environment that blends remote development with on-site collaboration.
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience modernizing custom ERP or Order-to-Cash systems.
- Experience in business process analysis, especially in inventory, order management, or finance workflows.
- Background in mentoring or technical leadership within cross-functional project teams.
