C++ Developer – Legacy Tool Modernization & API Integration (Project Role)
Location: Ahmedabad-Hybrid
Experience Level: 5–7 Years
Employment Type: Project Based/Contractual (3 to 6 Months – Extendable)

Overview

We are seeking a skilled C++ Developer to lead the modernization of a legacy telecom asset backhaul tool. This role focuses on deep analysis and modularization of existing C++ codebases, creating reusable libraries, and enabling API-driven headless execution. You will collaborate on integrating modern REST APIs, supporting frontend modernization efforts, and enhancing data handling and deployment processes.

If you are experienced in refactoring legacy systems, building robust APIs, and working closely with cross-functional teams on modern UI and backend infrastructure, this is a great opportunity.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Perform thorough analysis of legacy C++ codebase to identify core business logic and modularize components for reuse.
• Refactor tightly coupled UI elements to enable headless operation via APIs.
• Develop and expose business logic as RESTful APIs using middleware (Node.js collaboration).
• Ensure backward compatibility in data formats, transitioning legacy data to modern formats like JSON or database storage.
• Collaborate with frontend teams to support React/Electron-based UI modernization, maintaining key functionality and improving UX.
• Implement import/export capabilities in CSV, JSON, and support new reporting features with filters and visual dashboards.
• Support integration with existing Oracle databases or participate in migration planning for scalable data storage solutions.
• Assist in packaging and deployment of microservices and frontend applications with installers and auto-update mechanisms.
• Maintain high code quality through adherence to modern C++ standards, code reviews, and performance tuning.
• Work closely with architects, testers, and DevOps to ensure seamless delivery and deployment.

Requirements:

• Strong expertise in C++ (C++11/14/17 or later), with deep experience in refactoring legacy codebases and modular design.
• Proven skills in DLL development, performance optimization, and decoupling UI from business logic.
• Experience in designing and integrating REST APIs and working with middleware (Node.js experience is a plus).
• Familiarity with frontend modernization projects, especially supporting React and Electron-based desktop applications.
• Solid understanding of data formats (CSV, JSON), database interactions (Oracle preferred), and data migration strategies.
• Knowledge of packaging and deployment best practices for desktop and microservices environments.
• Strong problem-solving ability and collaborative communication skills.
• Experience with Windows development tools (Visual Studio, MSBuild) and debugging/performance tuning.

Good to Have:

• Telecom industry experience or exposure to similar legacy modernization projects.
• Familiarity with Git, CI/CD pipelines, Agile workflows.
• Prior involvement in UI/UX improvement initiatives and desktop app packaging.
