About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Assess on-premises hosts, applications, databases, middleware, and infrastructure components to perform technical discovery and migration readiness analysis.
Analyze CPU, memory, storage utilization, dependencies, integrations, runtime patterns, licensing considerations, and application architecture.
Identify migration risks, technical constraints, dependencies, and remediation requirements.
Analyze workloads based on functionality, business criticality, resiliency requirements, compliance needs, and interruption tolerance.
Define appropriate cloud placement strategies including rehost, replatform, refactor, retire, retain, or replace approaches.
Design and provision cloud infrastructure capacity required to support migration activities, testing environments, and production workloads.
Configure cloud resources including compute, storage, networking, identity, security controls, monitoring, and operational tooling.
Validate cloud environments against architecture standards, security requirements, and operational readiness criteria.
Implement infrastructure automation using Infrastructure as Code practices.
Execute migration waves following approved migration plans, runbooks, and change management procedures.
Perform User Acceptance Testing (UAT), production parallel testing, and technical validation activities.
Compare pre-migration and post-migration results, capture evidence, troubleshoot discrepancies, and drive issues through resolution.
Support production cutovers, release activities, rollback procedures, and post-release validation.
Perform post-migration health checks to ensure workload stability, performance, scalability, and operational readiness.
Perform workload tuning and optimization to ensure migrated applications are stable, scalable, reliable, and cost efficient.
Analyze performance metrics, resource utilization, logs, and operational data to identify optimization opportunities.
Support monitoring, alerting, backup, disaster recovery, patching, and operational support requirements.
Assist with cloud cost optimization through resource right-sizing and utilization analysis.
Partner with application engineering, infrastructure, security, database, and platform teams to define migration plans and execution strategies.
Collaborate with business stakeholders to establish validation criteria, acceptance requirements, and migration timelines.
Participate in architecture reviews, technical discussions, and solution design activities.
Communicate technical risks, dependencies, progress, and migration status effectively.
Design, enhance, and implement automation frameworks to enable repeatable, scalable, and efficient cloud migrations.
Develop AI-assisted solutions and automation capabilities to improve migration discovery, analysis, execution, and documentation processes.
Create reusable scripts, templates, tools, and frameworks supporting migration factory operations.
Document migration procedures, technical standards, operational learnings, risks, and best practices.
Continuously improve migration methodologies, processes, and delivery models.
