You will assess end-of-life systems (currently focused on Windows Server 2012), determine upgrade or decommission strategies, lead or support application and database migrations, and occasionally modernize legacy codebases. You'll also assist in maintaining and upgrading low-code platforms like ActiveBatch, which are integral to business operations.

• Migrate or rehost applications and databases in line with best practices and performance benchmarks.
• Interface with app owners, DBAs, compliance teams, and change advisory boards (CABs) to align technical actions with business needs.
• Refactor or rebuild legacy applications in modern frameworks when required.
• Maintain and enhance ActiveBatch automation workflows; support upcoming version upgrades.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, upgrade plans, and audit trails.
• Monitor regulatory changes and internal audit feedback to ensure continuous improvement of the obsolescence process.
• 5+ years in IT infrastructure or systems administration with direct experience in server OS upgrades, decommissions, or application migrations.
• Strong knowledge of Windows Server 2008/2012/2016/2019+, IIS, and SQL Server , .NET, C#, SSIS, SSRS, SQL
• Ability to map and manage complex interdependencies across infrastructure, applications, and business processes.
• Experience working in governed environments (e.g., finance, insurance, or other highly regulated sectors).
• Familiarity with low-code platforms (ActiveBatch strongly preferred) and basic scripting (e.g., PowerShell).
• Proven ability to manage tasks with minimal supervision and maintain detailed documentation.
• Understanding of compliance, risk mitigation, and internal audit principles.
• Experience with Migration Planning and Strategies.
