You will be responsible for implementing AWS-native migration solutions, designing secure and scalable cloud network architectures, and ensuring that every migration meets the highest standards of performance, resilience, security, and cost efficiency.

  • Develop detailed migration strategies (including the “6 R’s”: Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retain, Retire) and execution plans for on-premises to AWS environments.
  • Implement migration solutions using AWS best practices and tools (e.g., AWS Migration Hub, Application Migration Service (MGN), Database Migration Service (DMS), Snowball, etc.).
  • Design and configure AWS network architectures (VPCs, Subnets, Route Tables, Security Groups, NACLs, Direct Connect, VPN, Transit Gateway) to support migrated environments.
  • Ensure security, scalability, resilience, and cost optimization of solutions deployed on AWS.
  • Collaborate with client and internal teams to ensure the success of migration projects.
  • Provide technical guidance and mentoring to other team members.
