Senior Software Engineer (VB6 / Legacy Modernization)
South Geeks
Job Opportunity
You will be working on a large VB6 legacy codebase that powers real government operations every day. The work is incremental modernization: using AI tools to read, document, and understand complex legacy code, then refactoring and building new components in Python and SQL alongside the existing system. Some days you are deep in VB6 and COM/ActiveX. Others, you are writing Python scripts, optimizing SQL queries, or diagnosing a production issue in a multi-tenant environment. AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) are part of your daily workflow, not an afterthought.
What You Need To Succeed
Comfort working daily with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar)
Solid experience with SQL Server and relational database design
Experience navigating and contributing to large, complex legacy codebases
Strong debugging and problem-solving skills in production environments
Ability to read and understand VB6, COM/ActiveX, or equivalent legacy technologies
What Could Set You Apart
Experience with GIS technologies (ESRI MapObjects, ArcSDE)
Familiarity with Jenkins or GitHub Actions for CI/CD
Python scripting for automation or tooling
Prior exposure to legacy-to-modern migration projects
Multi-tenant database architecture experience
