Best vs average candidate

The ideal candidate is someone with strong experience working on legacy applications and leading modernization efforts. Because this project involves a large scale rewrite, we need someone who has already navigated the complexities of migrating older systems into a modern technology stack. Their background should include hands-on exposure to refactoring legacy code, validating functionality through thorough testing, and ensuring feature parity during the transition. This migration experience is the key indicator that they can step into this role and deliver successfully.
