Role Summary

We are looking for hands-on Cloud Migration Engineers to execute enterprise workload migrations, primarily to AWS, with Microsoft Azure experience considered an advantage.

This is an execution-focused engineering position. The successful candidate must have practical experience migrating production servers or applications from on-premises or virtualized environments to public cloud platforms.

We are particularly interested in engineers with strong Windows/Linux infrastructure backgrounds who have participated directly in migration projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute server and workload migrations from on-premises, VMware, and other cloud environments to AWS.
• Configure and operate AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) and other migration tools.
• Perform source server assessments, agent installation, replication configuration, and migration readiness checks.
• Execute test migrations, validate replicated workloads, and troubleshoot migration issues.
• Participate in migration wave planning and technical cutover preparation.
• Perform production cutovers, post-migration validation, and hypercare activities.
• Troubleshoot operating system, networking, storage, DNS, Active Directory, and application connectivity issues.
• Support migration runbook creation, technical documentation, and rollback procedures.
• Collaborate with Technical Leads, Cloud Foundation Engineers, and customer application owners.
• Identify opportunities to automate repetitive migration activities and improve migration efficiency.

Mandatory Technical Skills

• Hands-on experience migrating Windows and/or Linux servers to AWS or another public cloud.
• Practical experience with AWS EC2, EBS, VPC, security groups, and basic IAM.
• Experience with AWS MGN, Azure Migrate, VMware HCX, RiverMeadow, or comparable server migration technologies.
• Strong Windows Server and/or Linux administration and troubleshooting experience.
• Knowledge of VMware vSphere or similar virtualization technologies.
• Understanding of DNS, TCP/IP, routing, firewalls, and basic network troubleshooting.
• Familiarity with server replication, testing, cutover, rollback, and post-migration validation.
• Experience troubleshooting infrastructure and operating system issues.
• Ability to follow migration runbooks and execute production changes safely.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Microsoft Azure VM migration experience and Azure Migrate.
• AWS Transform, RiverMeadow, CloudHedge, or other migration accelerators.
• PowerShell, Bash, Python, or automation scripting.
• Terraform, Ansible, or basic Infrastructure as Code experience.
• Active Directory, Group Policy, and Windows infrastructure services.
• SQL Server, Oracle, or other database migration exposure.
• AWS networking, VPN, Direct Connect, or hybrid connectivity.
• AWS IAM, cloud security, or operational monitoring.
• Experience with application dependency mapping and migration discovery.
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate, SysOps Administrator, or equivalent certification.

Expected Outcomes

• Independently execute assigned migration tasks and migration waves.
• Deliver successful server migrations with minimal rework.
• Identify and resolve replication, cutover, and post-migration issues.
• Contribute to reusable migration procedures and automation.
• Support predictable, repeatable, high-volume migration delivery.

Critical selection criterion: Candidates must demonstrate direct involvement in real server or workload migrations. General cloud operations, monitoring, or infrastructure support experience alone is insufficient.
