Original description from Lever Postings

Mactores is the agent-native AWS modernization firm. Most modernization work doesn't ship, it stalls in pilots, slips a year, or lands at three times the budget. We exist to ship it: production systems running, legacy retired, outcomes measured. Our delivery is built on Aedeon, the agent platform built by Mactores' founders' sister company, which absorbs the repetitive 60–70% of engagement work, discovery, dependency mapping, validation, test generation, that traditional consulting bills human hours against. Forward-deployed engineers own the rest: architecture, judgment, and cutover, on dates we commit to in the contract. This is the sharp end of our Application & Database Modernization pillar. Enterprise customers are moving off Oracle and SQL Server license renewals coming due, stored-procedure layers nobody fully understands onto PostgreSQL and Aurora PostgreSQL. You'll own those heterogeneous migrations end to end: run the AWS DMS and SCT toolchain, then do the part the tools can't rebuild procedural business logic in PL/pgSQL when SCT flags a gap it can't close on its own. You ship the runbook, you run the cutover, you validate the result. When the migration lands, it's yours.
