Job Purpose / Summary
A Legacy Software Developer helps with the development and support of legacy projects and operations.
The company is undergoing a ground up overhaul of its supporting business applications, processes and technology. While this is underway, our existing legacy systems and operations need to be running smoothly, improved where it’s justifiable and updated or enhanced where required.

Part of our long term ground up overhaul is to eventually deprecate all our legacy systems. The members of the Legacy Development and Support team would be building extensive domain and systems knowledge and could become a valuable part of the various legacy deprecation projects. Once all legacy systems are deprecated or the required legacy development and support resource capacity is reduced, those developers could become a member of teams focusing on developing new cutting-edge solutions for the business.
