About us
- On the market since 2002;
- Operational departments and development hubs worldwide.
Project description
We are looking for a developer to join a strategic project modernizing the infrastructure of a key legacy application. Our client operates a legacy WinDev application used daily by ~2,000 customers via Citrix. A new web version is being redeveloped on AWS, but full customer migration will take 3–5 years. To unlock cloud benefits and funding now, we are starting an intermediate phase: migrating the existing WinDev application from Citrix to Amazon AppStream 2.0. This is not a full rewrite, but a targeted adaptation—we are building a “cloud bridge” to quickly move away from Citrix while staying aligned with the long-term architecture.
Requirements
- Experience working with Windows legacy applications (WinDev).
- Understanding of virtual desktop/workstation principles (Citrix, Amazon AppStream 2.0, RDS).
- Skills in debugging and adapting code related to printing, file systems, and network resources.
- Ability to work with AWS (AppStream 2.0).
- Comfort working within an existing codebase and identifying change points without full refactoring.
Responsibilities
- Migrate the legacy application from Citrix to Amazon AppStream 2.0 without a full functional rewrite.
- Perform targeted refactoring to eliminate Citrix dependencies: implement local printing functionality (replacing Citrix Universal Printer), adapt hard-coded file paths and Citrix-specific integrations (~2,200 occurrences), enable file exchange between the AppStream environment and local workstations.
- Ensure a seamless transition for end-users: the remote application must work as it did on Citrix.
- Support documentation and processes.
We offer
- A competitive salary.
- Short-term contract (from several weeks to months).
- Well-defined development processes and methodologies.
- Involvement in a comprehensive migration project with tangible business impact.
- Hands-on experience with AWS technologies and influence on architectural decisions.
- Clear project scope: no vague refactoring, only targeted changes for compatibility.
- A project with a clear outcome: decommissioning Citrix, reducing costs, utilizing AWS infrastructure.
