Help shape the next chapter of a business-critical application. You will combine hands‑on PowerBuilder development and production support with technical leadership, preparing an established client/server platform for a progressive transition to Java and Angular. The role connects existing application knowledge with future development: understanding how the system works, making its business rules explicit and helping developers carry them into the new platform.

Your responsibilities

  • Resolve complex PowerBuilder issues and share production maintenance duties, following agreed support and documentation practices.
  • Analyse application components and dependencies, including Pbls, Powerscript, Pfc, Datawindows and Datastores.
  • Identify business rules, edge cases and redundant behaviour; separate functional requirements from interface logic and historical workarounds.
  • Decouple business logic from GUI controls and database access, including Embedded SQL, dynamic SQL and stored procedures.
  • Work with analysts and business specialists to translate existing behaviour into clear functional and technical specifications.
  • Collaborate with Java/Angular developers on REST API contracts and validate regression coverage through characterisation and Golden Master tests.
  • Build shared technical documentation, mentor colleagues and use static analysis and AI-assisted tools to maintain traceability between code and specifications.

Why consider this role

A hands‑on technical lead opportunity combining production continuity, knowledge sharing and modernisation. Contribute to team development while building on your PowerBuilder expertise and expanding your involvement in Java and Angular.
