About the Role

You will be working on a large VB6 legacy codebase that powers real government operations every day. The work is incremental modernization: using AI tools to read, document, and understand complex legacy code, then refactoring and building new components in Python and SQL alongside the existing system. Some days you are deep in VB6 and COM/ActiveX. Others, you are writing Python scripts, optimizing SQL queries, or diagnosing a production issue in a multi-tenant environment. AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) are part of your daily workflow, not an afterthought.
