• Document system architecture, business processes, interfaces, data flows, and application modules.
• Create implementation, configuration, operational, and maintenance documentation.
• Develop knowledge transfer documentation to support future maintenance and onboarding.
• Validate documentation with developers, architects, and business experts.

• Present findings and recommendations to the project team.

• Good knowledge of Microsoft SQL Server.
• Experience with SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
• Familiarity with Git version control.
• Experience working with legacy Microsoft applications and software architecture.
• Proven experience documenting complex enterprise applications.
• Ability to understand existing source code and translate technical concepts into clear, structured documentation.
• Strong analytical, communication, and technical writing skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience with AI-assisted documentation tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot).
• Experience within the pension, insurance, or financial services sector.
• Experience with application lifecycle management and knowledge transfer initiatives.

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical mindset with excellent attention to detail.
• Structured and quality-driven approach.
• Proactive, self-motivated, and able to work independently.
• Excellent collaboration and stakeholder management skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Language Requirements
