Sounds like tons of opportunity there!
They use software and it’s not in great shape. They need someone smart like you to take them from where they are now to a better, more maintainable future!
This incremental evolution of working software to better software is a more realistic task than a greenfield set of tools disconnected from the current workflow/tooling.
You’ll be refactoring working code, making it better, more usable, automating manual tasks, documenting, figuring out how real users can value from incremental improvements, and potentially delivering value rather early.
You will be more effective dev learning to deal with messy, legacy code than one that starts a greenfield project not connected to users existing work.
So many opportunities for leadership and learning!
