DescriptionDescription At ELCA we frequently need to perform migrations or wide-ranging refactoring on large code bases, such as:• Upgrading to a new major version of a framework which brings breaking changes or deprecates features.• Migrating our customers' bespoke applications running on a legacy technology to a more modern stack, sometimes in a different programming language.These tasks have this in common that they are very time-consuming, very repetitive, and yet difficult to automate. Just like translation of human languages, a migration from a technology to another should adopt the target language idioms to ensure the generated code is easy to understand, verify and maintain.Translation of human languages based on LLMs (Large Language Models) outperforms programmed algorithms, thanks to the huge volume of text they have been trained on. Similarly, LLMs have in the recent years demonstrated increasing ability on processing and production of "idiomatic" source code. They are now playing a key role in many large-scale refactoring and migration tasks.LLMs are notoriously prone to "hallucinations" and "creativity" which are unwanted when working with source code, so verification and enforcement of code produced by a migration tool is crucial. Detecting errors can be done with static analysis tools on the generated code, or by generating or migrating automated tests. When a test discovers that code was incorrectly migrated, there must be a way to iterate on the generation to fix failing tests and compilation errors. Such iterative code refinement has already been demonstrated with LLM-based code generators.ObjectivesSurvey existing work in this area and assess the capabilities of existing tools for such tasks.Build on ELCA's existing prototypes to propose and implement an LLM-based Proof-of-Concept for a concrete migration project, leveraging techniques from prompt engineering, fine-tuning and training to more complex workflows involving iteration, tool-equipped agents, automated testing, error correction, and so on.Assess to what extent LLMs are helpful in migration tasks, and in which cases hand-crafted code generators may be more suitable.Our offerA dynamic work and collaborative environment with a highly motivated multi-cultural and international sites teamThe chance to make a difference in peoples' life by building innovative solutionsVarious internal coding events (Hackathon, Brownbags), see our technical blogMonthly After-Works organized per locationsSkills requiredKnowledge of at least one programming language (Java, TypeScript, Python) and strong analytical skills in general are required. Experience or general knowledge in working with LLMs is a plus.
