CSC Generation is seeking a Software Engineer to own the maintenance and modernization of a portfolio of legacy applications spanning .NET, Python, JavaScript, and Java. These systems are critical to daily operations, and the role focuses on keeping them healthy while steadily improving how they are built, tested, deployed, and monitored.
You will own end-to-end responsibility for legacy application maintenance and incremental improvement. Key responsibilities include:
- Maintain, debug, and enhance legacy applications written in .NET Framework, Python, JavaScript, and Java
- Analyze and resolve production issues with minimal downtime

- Containerize legacy applications and orchestrate deployments
- Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration management with Ansible
- Write and optimize SQL queries, administer relational database systems, and implement safe database migrations and schema updates
- Develop and integrate automated unit and integration tests, increasing test coverage and establishing test automation frameworks
- Implement logging, metrics, and tracing across legacy applications and configure monitoring and alerting systems to detect issues proactively
Within your first six months, you will have shipped pipeline and testing improvements that measurably reduce production incidents. This is a lean team where you will own a lot, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility.
The company emphasizes meaningful work from day one, with systems that power real brands and real revenue. You will receive hands-on experience across multiple technology stacks, cloud infrastructure, and modern DevOps practices with direct mentorship from your manager and team. The role offers real responsibility and ownership, not busywork.
