• Reviewing code, testing, documenting, and continuously improving the system.
• Adding new features and fixing bugs in an established, complex application.
• Understanding and working with complex system architectures and legacy code.

• Experience with large-scale applications and legacy system maintenance.
• Solid knowledge of SQL databases.
• Familiarity with CVS and Git version control.
• You’ve worked with XML, XSLT.
