Role Summary

We are looking for an experienced Cloud Migration Technical Lead to lead enterprise migration engagements, primarily to AWS, with Microsoft Azure experience considered a strong advantage.

The successful candidate must combine hands-on technical expertise with the ability to lead migration teams, own technical decisions, manage customer expectations, and deliver migrations from discovery through cutover and hypercare.

This is a delivery-focused technical leadership role , not a pure solution architecture, consulting, or project management position.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the technical delivery of cloud migration projects, from discovery and assessment through planning, execution, cutover, and stabilization.

• Design and validate migration strategies for VMware, physical and virtual servers, Windows/Linux workloads, and enterprise applications.

• Lead application dependency assessments, migration wave planning, sequencing, rollback planning, and technical risk management.

• Define workload migration approaches, including rehost, replatform, and selective modernization.

• Lead technical discussions with customers and coordinate Cloud Foundation, Migration Execution, Networking, Security, and application teams.

• Review AWS Landing Zone readiness, connectivity, IAM, networking, security, and operational requirements.

• Troubleshoot complex migration failures and support critical production cutovers.

• Act as the customer-facing technical anchor across multiple delivery PODs.

• Maintain architecture decisions, migration runbooks, technical documentation, and stage-gate acceptance criteria.

• Mentor engineers, validate technical estimates, and improve migration automation and repeatability.

Mandatory Technical Skills

• Demonstrated hands-on experience leading production migrations to AWS , preferably across multiple enterprise customers.

• Strong AWS infrastructure expertise: EC2, EBS, VPC, IAM, Route 53, CloudWatch, AWS Backup, and related services.

• Practical experience with AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) and workload migration tooling.

• Strong knowledge of VMware vSphere, Windows Server, Linux, DNS, Active Directory, storage, and networking.

• Experience with migration discovery, dependency mapping, migration wave planning, testing, and rollback strategies.

• Ability to diagnose connectivity, performance, replication, operating system, and application-related migration issues.

• Understanding of AWS security, hybrid connectivity, IAM, routing, and network segmentation.

• Experience leading engineers and communicating technical risks to customers and stakeholders.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Microsoft Azure migration experience, including Azure Migrate and Azure Site Recovery.

• AWS Transform, RiverMeadow, CloudHedge, or comparable migration accelerators.

• Azure VMware Solution (AVS), VMware HCX, or NSX.

• Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, or CI/CD automation.

• AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, VPN, firewalls, and advanced hybrid networking.

• Database migrations using AWS DMS or native database migration technologies.

• Experience with regulated environments, security compliance, or complex enterprise transformations.

• AWS Solutions Architect Professional or AWS Certified Advanced Networking certification.

Expected Outcomes

• Independently lead customer migration engagements with minimal technical supervision.

• Coordinate delivery across shared PODs without losing customer context or technical accountability.

• Reduce migration failures, technical escalations, and cutover risks.

• Improve migration repeatability, delivery quality, and engineering productivity.

Critical selection criterion: Candidates must demonstrate real production migration experience, including examples of migration challenges, failures, cutovers, and lessons learned.
