The ideal candidate will bring strong hands-on engineering experience, a structured delivery mindset, and the ability to collaborate effectively with application, infrastructure, and platform teams to execute migrations safely and at scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Assess on-prem hosts and perform discovery across business processes, CPU, memory, storage, dependencies, and runtime patterns to determine migration readiness.


• Analyze workloads based on functionality, business criticality, resiliency requirements, and interruption tolerance to determine appropriate cloud compute placement.


• Plan and provision required cloud infrastructure capacity to support migration, testing, and production execution.


• Execute UAT and production parallel testing, compare outcomes, capture evidence, and troubleshoot discrepancies through closure.


• Perform performance tuning and optimization to ensure migrated workloads are stable, scalable, efficient, and production ready.


• Partner with application engineering, infrastructure, and platform teams to finalize migration plans, release approach, validation criteria, and rollback considerations.


• Manage release readiness, execute production deployment activities, and complete postrelease checkout and validation procedures.


• Support legacy on-premises host decommissioning after successful migration and validation.


• Design, enhance, and implement automation frameworks and AI-assisted solutions to enable repeatable, efficient, large-scale cloud migrations.


• Document migration procedures, operational learnings, risks, and best practices to improve the factory execution model.
