The Opportunity  We have a stable, revenue-generating ERP platform built on ProvideX (a Business BASIC derivative) that serves a loyal customer base. We are not looking to rebuild it from scratch. We need a senior architect who understands how legacy business logic systems work, can map the existing architecture, and build a modern API layer on top of it so we can connect AI capabilities, third-party integrations, and new product experiences to the data and workflows that already exist.  This is a "wrap, don’t replace" strategy. The right person will see the ProvideX codebase not as technical debt, but as encoded business logic worth preserving and exposing through modern interfaces.  What You’ll Do  Legacy Architecture Mapping & API Strategy  - Reverse-engineer and document the ProvideX ERP architecture: data models, keyed file structures, business rules, and process flows  - Design and build a RESTful (or GraphQL) API layer that exposes core ERP functions and data to modern consumers without rewriting the underlying system  - Define the integration architecture that allows AI tools, third-party platforms, and new front-end experiences to read from and write to the ERP safely  - Establish a service boundary map: what stays in ProvideX, what gets abstracted, and what eventually migrates  AI Enablement Through Data Access  - Make ERP data accessible and usable for AI/ML workflows by building clean data pipelines from legacy file structures to modern data stores  - Partner with product and leadership to identify the highest-value AI use cases that depend on ERP data (predictive analytics, workflow automation, intelligent recommendations)  - Evaluate and recommend AI tools and platforms that can plug into the API layer you build  - Ensure data governance, security, and compliance as legacy data becomes more broadly accessible  Platform Stability & Incremental Modernization  - Own the reliability and performance of the ERP platform throughout the modernization process; nothing breaks for existing customers  - Lead incident response and root-cause analysis for production issues  - Establish pragmatic engineering standards that acknowledge the reality of a legacy codebase while moving it forward  - Prioritize modernization efforts based on business impact, not technical elegance  Team & Stakeholder Leadership  - Lead and grow the ERP engineering team, building API and integration capabilities alongside legacy maintenance skills  - Act as the senior technical voice connecting engineering, product, support, and executive leadership  - Translate complex technical realities ("this is ProvideX, here’s what that means for your timeline") into language that non-technical stakeholders can act on  - Mentor engineers who may be new to legacy systems, helping them see architectural patterns rather than just old code  Infrastructure & Cloud  - Own the Azure environment hosting the ERP platform  - Drive infrastructure automation, disaster recovery, and operational hygiene  - Support the longer-term cloud and SaaS evolution strategy as the API layer matures  What We’re Looking For  Must Have  - Deep experience with legacy business logic languages: ProvideX, Business BASIC (BBx/BBj), Pick/MultiValue BASIC, RPG, or COBOL. You need to be able to read procedural, record-oriented code and understand the business rules it encodes.  - Proven track record of building API layers on top of legacy systems without full rewrites. You’ve done the "wrap and expose" pattern before.  - Senior engineering leadership experience overseeing mission-critical enterprise systems where downtime means lost revenue.  - Strong understanding of keyed file structures, flat-file databases, and how legacy data models differ from modern relational or document stores.  - Cloud infrastructure experience, preferably Microsoft Azure.  - Ability to communicate technical constraints and trade-offs to non-technical leadership clearly and without jargon.  Strong Advantages  - Hands-on experience with ProvideX specifically, or with Sage or SAP Business One ERP systems built on it  - Experience designing data pipelines that make legacy data consumable by AI/ML tools  - Familiarity with AI/ML integration patterns (you don’t need to build models, but you need to understand what they need from a data and API perspective)  - Background in ERP environments within vertical SaaS or software portfolio companies  - Experience with Python as a bridge language between legacy and modern systems  What Success Looks Like  First 90 Days: Understand and Stabilize  - Complete architecture map of the ProvideX ERP: data structures, key business logic paths, integration points, and technical debt hot spots  - Documented assessment of current system reliability with a prioritized stabilization plan  - Relationship-building with the engineering team, product, support, and leadership; you understand the people as well as the code  Months 4 through 6: Build the Bridge  - First API endpoints live in production, exposing high-value ERP data or functions to at least one modern consumer (internal tool, integration, or AI workflow)  - A defined and actively executing modernization roadmap that leadership, product, and engineering all align on  - Measurable improvement in system reliability and engineering execution cadence  Months 6 through 12: Scale and Enable  - API layer mature enough to support multiple consumers: AI capabilities, third-party integrations, and new product features  - At least one AI-enabled capability in production that delivers measurable business impact (revenue growth, cost reduction, or efficiency gain) built on the data and APIs you created  - A credible, market-aligned architecture vision for the platform’s next phase that does not require burning the existing system to the ground  - Improved customer satisfaction driven by platform stability and new capabilities  Why This Role Matters  Most companies with legacy ERP systems face a false choice: maintain forever or rebuild from scratch. We are choosing a third path. We want someone who can bridge decades of encoded business logic to the modern AI-enabled product landscape without losing what works. If you’re the kind of engineer who sees a ProvideX codebase and thinks "I can map this and open it up" rather than "burn it down," this role was designed for you.  #DemandBridge
