Responsibilities

Define the end-to-end target solution architecture for an enterprise VMware/VMC exit to AWS Cloud, aligned to business outcomes, security, compliance, resilience, scalability, operability, cost, and migration timelines.
Lead current-state discovery and architecture assessment across applications, infrastructure, VMware platforms, networks, data, integrations, security controls, operational tooling, and business dependencies.
Establish workload disposition criteria and target hosting patterns for rehost, replatform, refactor, retire, retain, and repurchase decisions, with documented rational, risks, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.
Design the AWS landing zone and foundational architecture, including account structure, identity and access, network connectivity, segmentation, DNS, security services, logging, monitoring, encryption, secrets, backup, disaster recovery, and operational controls.
Create reusable reference architectures and migration patterns for common application, database, middleware, file, batch, integration, and infrastructure scenarios.
Define an AI-led architecture approach for discovery, dependency analysis, migration recommendations, code and configuration assessment, wave planning, test generation, evidence creation, and operational insights.
Ensure AI-generated findings and recommendations are traceable, explainable, security-reviewed, and validated through accountable Human-in-the-Loop architecture and SME approvals before execution.
Partner with cross-domain teams to resolve design decisions and dependencies.
Develop migration-wave architecture packages covering source/target designs, connectivity, data movement, security controls, non-functional requirements, testing, cutover, rollback, and decommissioning prerequisites.
Review low-level designs, infrastructure-as-code, automation, build outputs, security configurations, migration runbooks, test evidence, and operational documentation for adherence.
