Core Responsibilities:
• Conduct readiness assessments covering security, networking, compute/storage requirements, and risk
• Determine migration strategy using the 6R framework (rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire, retain)
• Execute migrations into AWS using best practices, repeatable patterns, and infrastructure-as-code
• Implement and standardize AWS foundations, including landing zones/account structures, VPC networking, security controls, compliance guardrails, and CI/CD pipelines
• Build and maintain IaC templates for repeatable deployments and migrations
• Utilize AWS Migration Hub, Application Migration Service (MGN), and Database Migration Service (DMS) to execute migrations
• Apply the AWS Well-Architected Framework to guide migration decisions and guardrails
Apply today if your background includes:
• Proven experience personally leading or executing application migrations to AWS (hands-on delivery, not just support)
• Strong hands-on experience with core AWS services: EC2, ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, Lambda, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch
• Real production experience with Infrastructure as Code: Terraform and/or CloudFormation
• Scripting/automation proficiency in Python, Bash, or PowerShell for migration task automation
• Solid grasp of migration methodology: 6R strategies, discovery/dependency mapping, sizing/estimation, and migration best practices
Preferred Qualifications:
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Associate or Professional)
• Kafka or streaming technology experience
• Exposure to "Transform" or agentic/AI-assisted migration tooling
• Experience migrating legacy databases (Sybase, DB2) to AWS Postgres
