I get the exact same joys from work. Taking an old but functional and profitable codebase and cleaning it up, bringing it up to conventions and standards, refactoring. At my current job, feature work is always a thing, but I make refactoring boards and get people on board with bringing in refactor tickets every sprint, etc.

So while not 100% of my job is refactoring, a large portion is. And sometimes I convince them it’s time to rewrite one entire section or another, so a couple of sprints at a time might be dedicated to just that.

I guess I’ve gotten lucky, probably a combination of that and being outspoken about what needs to be fixed.
