Management of a Mission-Critical Platform:

3Pillar invites you to join an elite team taking direct ownership of the legacy code that runs a regulated, multi-state utility-and-rent billing platform. Imagine you: stabilizing 18-year-old VB6 components that touch every resident bill, reverse-documenting modules no one else can read, and partnering with the active core-engine owner to keep month-end running while the strangler-fig modernization unfolds around you.

This role is not a greenfield assignment and is not a maintenance-only seat. It is a high-leverage role for an engineer who is energized by complex, undocumented, regulation-bound code — and who knows how to make a legacy estate safer, more observable, and more migratable, one surface at a time. Seize the chance to be the person the team trusts when the bill-generation cycle, the rate-aggregation engine, or a state-specific tax proc needs an expert's hand. 🧭🔥

Key Responsibilities

Independently own, maintain, and extend the legacy billing surfaces — the VB6 COM components, the classic ASP / VBScript operator pages, the SQL Server T-SQL billing procedures, and the ASP.NET WebForms screens that wrap them.

Partner with the existing COM component owner (who keeps the bill-generation core) on shared interfaces, change windows, and parallel-run validation.

Reverse-document and add safety tests to the highest-risk undocumented modules — the rate-aggregation engine, the jurisdiction-specific tax and regulatory procs (CARE / FERA / WSA / state-specific admin fees), the classic-ASP operator UI for revenue-affecting workflows, and the Australia-specific billing logic and its opaque property-settings keys.

Prove and maintain the VB6 build for the full legacy estate, including the three licensed-dependency report DLLs (ActiveReports 2.0 components, Persits AspPDF, SoftArtisans ExcelWriter 4.0).

Plan and execute the migration of the most fragile legacy surfaces over time

Minimum Qualifications

A minimum of 6+ years of experience as a software engineer.

Strong, current expertise in

VB6 and COM / COM+ interop,

classic ASP and VBScript,

T-SQL on Microsoft SQL Server (stored procedures, query tuning, schema reasoning),

ASP.NET WebForms.

High level of English proficiency required to interact with a globally-based engineering and operations team.

A demonstrable track record of reading, decoding, and documenting undocumented legacy code.

Experience working alongside an active code owner on a shared critical-path component, including change-window coordination and parallel-run validation.

Strong instincts for safety-of-change: small commits, change-budget thinking, parallel-run validation, feature-flag gating, and explicit rollback plans.

Additional Experience Desired

Direct experience with regulated or financial billing calculations — utility billing, telecom rating, insurance premium computation, or comparable.

Experience leading a modernization or strangler-fig migration of a long-lived legacy estate, including parallel-run validation harnesses and cut-over governance.

Familiarity with the Windows Server / IIS / Task Scheduler operational surface that legacy billing platforms typically run on.
