Senior Staff Software Engineer

Role Description

We are establishing an ERP Platform team focused on modernizing our core architecture. This initiative encompasses a multi-year effort involving various components: an event-driven integration gateway, domain-driven APIs, contemporary MFE-based user interfaces, and a strategy to decommission legacy application layers.

We are seeking a high-impact Staff Software Engineer to lead the technical execution of our ERP modernization strategy. This is a "Builder-Architect" role focused on converting our core COBOL (BusinessPlus) and Genero (eFinancePlus) products into a modern, domain-driven C#/.NET architecture.

You will not just be writing code; you will be building the Agentic Modernization Factory—a suite of AI-driven tools and pipelines that automate the translation, refactoring, and validation of legacy business logic at scale. You will also architect the "Unified Bridge" that allows our modernized services to operate seamlessly across 1,000+ customer instances, whether deployed in our cloud or on-premise.
