Project :
We have an ambitious goal to migrate a legacy system written in HLASM (High-Level Assembler) from the mainframe to a cloud-based Java environment for one of the largest banks in the USA.
Responsibilities :
We are looking for an experienced Python Full-Stack Developer (Python+React) who can help perform the migration of the client platform :
- Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve issues in GenAI-powered code translation pipelines
- Collaborate with dev and client teams to ensure alignment with project goals and deliver high-quality solutions
- Maintain and fine-tune RAG application that supports the migration process, specifically optimizing LLM prompts for pattern recognition
- Build and maintain FastAPI-based microservices that orchestrate the migration workflow
- Implement RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) systems using LangChain / Langgraph / LlamaIndex for contextual code understanding
- Design stateful migration workflows using LangGraph / LangChain / LlamaIndex for complex multi-step transformations
- Mandatory work from the office 5 days per week
Mandatory Skills Description :
Experience in front-end development (preferably React) for building migration dashboards and progress monitoring interfaces (2+ years)Proficiency in Python development (5+ years), with specific expertise in :
FastAPI for building high-performance REST APIs and WebSocket connectionsAsync programming patterns for handling concurrent migration tasksPydantic for robust data validation in migration pipelinesExperience with vector embeddings and embedding modelsVector database implementation for semantic searchGraph database experience for code dependency mappingBuilding agents for code analysis, implementing custom tools for mainframe-specific transformations, creating chains for multi-step code migrationOrchestrating stateful workflows for complex migration scenarios, managing checkpoints for long-running migrations, implementing conditional routing based on code patternsBuilding knowledge bases from documentation, implementing hybrid search for code pattern matching, creating custom retrievers for language specific contextsImplementing similarity search and semantic code retrieval systemsGraph traversal algorithms for dependency analysis
Strong problem-solving and debugging skills for identifying translation anomalies and semantic preservation issuesExcellent communication skills for collaboration with client teams and explaining complex technical translationsNice-to-Have Skills :
