NTT DATA strives to hire exceptional, innovative and passionate individuals who want to grow with us. If you want to be part of an inclusive, adaptable, and forward-thinking organization,

We are currently seeking a Cloud Migration Lead Engineer to join our team in LD, Lakshadweep (IN-LD), India (IN).

Senior Cloud Migration Technical Lead

Experience: 10+ years in IT infrastructure and cloud technologies, including 5+ years in cloud migration delivery.

Role Summary

We are looking for an experienced Cloud Migration Technical Lead to lead enterprise migration engagements, primarily to AWS, with Microsoft Azure experience considered a strong advantage.

The successful candidate must combine hands-on technical expertise with the ability to lead migration teams, own technical decisions, manage customer expectations, and deliver migrations from discovery through cutover and hypercare.

This is a delivery-focused technical leadership role, not a pure solution architecture, consulting, or project management position.

Key Responsibilities

Own the technical delivery of cloud migration projects, from discovery and assessment through planning, execution, cutover, and stabilization.

Design and validate migration strategies for VMware, physical and virtual servers, Windows/Linux workloads, and enterprise applications.

Lead application dependency assessments, migration wave planning, sequencing, rollback planning, and technical risk management.

Define workload migration approaches, including rehost, replatform, and selective modernization.

Lead technical discussions with customers and coordinate Cloud Foundation, Migration Execution, Networking, Security, and application teams.

Review AWS Landing Zone readiness, connectivity, IAM, networking, security, and operational requirements.

Troubleshoot complex migration failures and support critical production cutovers.

Act as the customer-facing technical anchor across multiple delivery PODs.

Maintain architecture decisions, migration runbooks, technical documentation, and stage-gate acceptance criteria.

Mentor engineers, validate technical estimates, and improve migration automation and repeatability.

Mandatory Technical Skills

Demonstrated hands-on experience leading production migrations to AWS, preferably across multiple enterprise customers.

Strong AWS infrastructure expertise: EC2, EBS, VPC, IAM, Route 53, CloudWatch, AWS Backup, and related services.

Practical experience with AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) and workload migration tooling.

Strong knowledge of VMware vSphere, Windows Server, Linux, DNS, Active Directory, storage, and networking.

Experience with migration discovery, dependency mapping, migration wave planning, testing, and rollback strategies.

Ability to diagnose connectivity, performance, replication, operating system, and application-related migration issues.

Understanding of AWS security, hybrid connectivity, IAM, routing, and network segmentation.

Experience leading engineers and communicating technical risks to customers and stakeholders.

Nice-to-Have Skills

AWS Transform, RiverMeadow, CloudHedge, or comparable migration accelerators.

Azure VMware Solution (AVS), VMware HCX, or NSX.

Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, or CI/CD automation.

AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, VPN, firewalls, and advanced hybrid networking.

Database migrations using AWS DMS or native database migration technologies.

Experience with regulated environments, security compliance, or complex enterprise transformations.

AWS Solutions Architect Professional or AWS Certified Advanced Networking certification.

Expected Outcomes

Independently lead customer migration engagements with minimal technical supervision.

Coordinate delivery across shared PODs without losing customer context or technical accountability.

Reduce migration failures, technical escalations, and cutover risks.

Improve migration repeatability, delivery quality, and engineering productivity.

Critical selection criterion: Candidates must demonstrate real production migration experience, including examples of migration challenges, failures, cutovers, and lessons learned.
