Job Description & How to Apply Below
We are looking for a skilled Database Migration Engineer / Full-Stack JavaScript Developer to lead the complete overhaul and modernisation of our legacy Microsoft Access database infrastructure.
Role Overview
The successful candidate will own the end-to-end migration process. This includes extracting relational schemas and embedded VBA logic from MS Access, designing a modern target database architecture, writing custom ETL scripts in JavaScript, and developing modern APIs to serve the data to our applications.
🔧 Key Responsibilities
* Legacy Analysis:
Audit existing MS Access databases (.mdb/.accdb), documenting relational schemas, indexing strategies, complex queries, and custom VBA modules.
* Database Architecture & Design:
Design, implement, and optimize a modern target database system (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB) suited for a JavaScript-centric application environment.
* Data Migration (ETL):
Write resilient, well-tested data pipeline scripts using Node.js to extract, transform, clean, and load legacy data into the new modern database structure while maintaining full data integrity.
* API Development:
Replace old Access forms and reporting mechanisms by building secure, high-performance RESTful or GraphQL APIs using Node.js (Express, NestJS) and JavaScript/Type Script.
* Integration & Testing:
Write comprehensive unit and integration tests to validate that migrated data and new backend services fully replicate (and improve upon) legacy business rules.
