About the Job
Most engineers can build a new feature from scratch; few can deconstruct a complex, highly customized legacy system and re-engineer it to thrive in a upgraded framework. As an Upgrade Engineer, you aren't just "moving data" you are ensuring business continuity. You will be tasked with solving the "Version Gap." When a new Odoo version is released, our clients must transition forward with minimal disruption or data loss.
In short, you are the one who makes that transition invisible.

Responsibilities:
- Dive into custom Python/JS code written years ago by different teams and determine how to refactor it for Odoo’s latest ORM and frontend owl framework.
- Manage complex PostgreSQL migrations where data structures have fundamentally shifted, requiring custom SQL scripts to bridge the gap.
