We are seeking an experienced Software Engineer to support the migration of a Legacy on-premise application into a modern, cloud-based environment on AWS. This role is ideal for an engineer with strong Delphi expertise who can work across Legacy components while supporting modernisation into languages such as C# or .NET where required.

You will work as part of a collaborative, delivery-focused team, contributing to application refactoring, rebuilding Delphi dependencies, and helping transition Legacy tech into a sustainable future-state architecture.

Project Overview

The project involves migrating a Legacy PHP and Delphi application running on Windows/MS SQL to an AWS-hosted environment using PostgreSQL.

Key elements include:

• Re-platforming the existing application from on-premise Windows Servers to AWS.

• Converting the MS SQL database to PostgreSQL.

• Removing Windows components and transitioning to Linux-based deployments.

• Reviewing Delphi dependencies and re-writing/re-architecting components where necessary in a modern language (C# or .NET).

• Supporting any small remaining elements of Delphi UI work.

Key Skills Required

? Delphi (essential)
? Experience with Lazarus (open-source Delphi IDE) - highly beneficial
? Knowledge of WebSockets and REST APIs in Delphi
? Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
? Ability to assess and re-engineer Legacy codebases
? Familiarity with PHP considered helpful (but not required)

Nice to Have

• AWS

• Docker

• Experience migrating or modernising Legacy windows-based applications

• Exposure to C#/.NET development
