📋 Description

• Reverse-engineer and document the ProvideX ERP architecture: data models, keyed file structures, business rules, and process flows • Design and build a RESTful (or GraphQL) API layer that exposes core ERP functions and data to modern consumers without rewriting the underlying system • Define the integration architecture that allows AI tools, third-party platforms, and new front-end experiences to read from and write to the ERP safely • Establish a service boundary map: what stays in ProvideX, what gets abstracted, and what eventually migrates • Make ERP data accessible and usable for AI/ML workflows by building clean data pipelines from legacy file structures to modern data stores • Partner with product and leadership to identify the highest-value AI use cases that depend on ERP data (predictive analytics, workflow automation, intelligent recommendations) • Evaluate and recommend AI tools and platforms that can plug into the API layer you build • Ensure data governance, security, and compliance as legacy data becomes more broadly accessible • Own the reliability and performance of the ERP platform throughout the modernization process; nothing breaks for existing customers • Lead incident response and root-cause analysis for production issues • Establish pragmatic engineering standards that acknowledge the reality of a legacy codebase while moving it forward • Prioritize modernization efforts based on business impact, not technical elegance • Lead and grow the ERP engineering team, building API and integration capabilities alongside legacy maintenance skills • Act as the senior technical voice connecting engineering, product, support, and executive leadership • Translate complex technical realities ("this is ProvideX, here’s what that means for your timeline") into language that non-technical stakeholders can act on • Mentor engineers who may be new to legacy systems, helping them see architectural patterns rather than just old code • Own the Azure environment hosting the ERP platform • Drive infrastructure automation, disaster recovery, and operational hygiene • Support the longer-term cloud and SaaS evolution strategy as the API layer matures.

🎯 Requirements

• Deep experience with legacy business logic languages: ProvideX, Business BASIC (BBx/BBj), Pick/MultiValue BASIC, RPG, or COBOL. You need to be able to read procedural, record-oriented code and understand the business rules it encodes. • Proven track record of building API layers on top of legacy systems without full rewrites. You’ve done the "wrap and expose" pattern before. • Senior engineering leadership experience overseeing mission-critical enterprise systems where downtime means lost revenue. • Strong understanding of keyed file structures, flat-file databases, and how legacy data models differ from modern relational or document stores. • Cloud infrastructure experience, preferably Microsoft Azure. • Ability to communicate technical constraints and trade-offs to non-technical leadership clearly and without jargon.
