• Programming: Professional proficiency in Python, Java or a similar programming/scripting language.
• Systems: Strong Unix/Linux fundamentals with the ability to troubleshoot application, deployment, environment, and runtime issues.
• Methodology: Familiarity with SDLC practices, CI/CD delivery models, change management, and Kubernetes-based deployments.

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 post release 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.
