About the Role:
We are seeking a seasoned Rocket UniData / UniVerse Architect to lead the knowledge transition and system understanding of a legacy core platform maintained by a single developer for over 20 years. This is an onsite leadership role focused on deep-diving into the existing UniData ecosystem and working closely with our offshore team to build a long-term support and modernization strategy. While the UniData system remains outside the cloud, the rest of the client’s ecosystem is hosted on Azure and built using the Microsoft .NET stack. The ability to understand and bridge these two environments is key to enabling future integration and modernization.
Key Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with the legacy developer to extract deep system knowledge, architectural patterns, and business logic.
- Reverse engineer and document the Rocket UniData/ UniVerse platform to enable effective knowledge transfer.
- Define and implement a transition plan to offshore support and modernization teams.
- Lead architectural discovery and highlight integration opportunities with Azure-hosted .NET systems.
- Guide the client’s leadership on modernization strategies, including interoperability planning and eventual re-architecture.
- Act as the go-to technical leader onsite for all Rocket UniData matters.
Required Skills & Experience:
- 10+ years of experience with Rocket UniData/ UniVerse, including Pick Basic/ UniBasic, TCL, Procs, and Paragraphs.
- Strong knowledge of MultiValue data modeling, legacy file structures, and runtime environments.
- Proven success in reverse engineering, system stabilization, and transitioning from legacy devel oper ownership.
- Understanding of modern enterprise architectures, with awareness of Azure cloud platforms and .NET-based systems (C#, APIs, services).
- Experience working in hybrid environments, coordinating between onsite legacy platforms and cloud-native services.
- Excellent stakeholder engagement, documentation, and technical leadership skills.
Desirable
- Experience with Rocket tools (e.g., Web DE, SB/XA), or modernization frameworks and connectors.
- Familiarity with data integration strategies (e.g., via ODBC, flat file exchange, REST APIs).
- Exposure to Azure DevOps, microservices, or legacy modernization effort
