Project description

Application Modernization Practice is a horizontal practice, supporting all business verticals in DXC, with focus on the transformation of the legacy systems.

As a Modernization Architect, you'll play a pivotal role in both shaping modernization solutions and supervising delivery execution. You will partner with sales, delivery, and clients to design transformations from legacy to modern architectures, integrating GenAI accelerators and helping deliver tangible business value.

Responsibilities

Collaborate with management, analytics, and development to design discovery, documentation, and modernization paths from legacy systems (Sabretalk, z / TPF, etc.) to modern stacks (COTS software integrations, Java, MSA, public clouds).

Lead effort estimation, tool strategy selection, and transformation approach definition.

Take part in sales engagements : assessments, proposals, orals, presentations, and business case creation.

Provide architectural oversight during project execution.

Align the client-specific solutions with MPC strategy and shared GenAI tooling.

Participate in evaluations and PoCs involving GenAI and automation accelerators.

~ Experience with any public cloud provider and knowledge of cloud architecture and distributed systems' patterns.

~ Familiarity with containers and orchestration systems (Kubernetes / PKS / OpenShift).
