• Translate business requirements into preliminary cloud solution components (e.g., compute, storage, database, and networking concepts at a high level).

• Assist in identifying dependencies, risks, and constraints for migration or modernization efforts.
• Develop and maintain documentation including requirements traceability matrices, meeting notes, and process workflows.

  • Databases (e.g., RDS concepts)
• Strong communication skills with ability to engage both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Experience writing requirements, user stories, and process documentation.
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies and tools (Jira, Confluence, etc.).

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to cloud migration or modernization projects.
• Basic understanding of networking, security, or application architecture concepts.
• AWS Cloud Practitioner certification (or willingness to obtain).
• Experience in federal or regulated environments (NIST, FISMA a plus).
• Ability to work alongside technical teams without needing to perform hands‑on engineering.
