We are looking for an experienced Software Developer to join us on an initial major project involving the migration of data from a legacy platform into a new modern system.
The first assignment will focus heavily on database analysis, data mapping, and migration delivery. Once this phase is complete, the developer will have the opportunity to support additional software development projects, which may vary in scope and technical focus.

Analysing undocumented database structures
Mapping and transforming data into the new platform schema
Working closely with another developer to deliver the migration successfully
Deliver the initial legacy-to-new platform database migration project
Reverse-engineer existing database structures where documentation is limited or unavailable
Define and implement data mapping strategies
Write scripts and tooling to support extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL)
Work with both MySQL and MSSQL databases
Support PHP development work as required
Collaborate closely with another developer throughout delivery
Ensure data integrity, validation, and consistency
Document migration logic and database findings clearly
Essential Skills & Experience:
Experience with modernisation or platform rebuild projects
Strong communication skills when working with technical and non-technical stakeholders
Working Style & Location
Remote-first role with flexibility
Collaboration with an existing developer on the initial project
Occasional client visits (Manchester / Hertfordshire preferred)
Future OpportunitiesAfter completion of the initial migration project, the role may expand into other development and platform work depending on business needs and upcoming client projects.
