We are looking for an experienced Application Migration and Modernization Architect to lead the migration and transformation of enterprise applications to AWS. This role focuses on application-level modernization across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, ensuring solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with cloud-native development practices.

The ideal candidate will be a hands-on leader who can define application architecture, guide development teams, and actively contribute to implementation across rehost, replatform, and refactor initiatives.

• Lead application migration and modernization initiatives for enterprise workloads transitioning to AWS.
• Define and execute strategies across rehost, replatform, and refactor approaches based on application architecture and business needs.
• Conduct application discovery, codebase assessment, and dependency mapping to inform migration and modernization decisions.
• Design and implement cloud-native application architectures using microservices and serverless patterns.
• Refactor monolithic applications into modular, scalable components where required.
• Drive modernization of application code, frameworks, and runtime environments (.NET/Java/Python).
• Integrate and enhance CI/CD pipelines to support modern application development and deployment.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless application transformation and delivery.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship while remaining hands-on with design and development.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in full-stack application development using modern frontend and backend technologies.
• Strong proficiency in backend languages such as Java, C#, Node.js, and Python.
• Strong experience with TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks such as React, Angular, or similar.
• Experience building enterprise-grade web applications and RESTful APIs using microservices architecture.

• Experience working with relational and/or NoSQL databases (e.g., SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control (Git), and modern DevOps practices.
• Experience designing and deploying applications on AWS (preferred) or other cloud platforms.
• Hands-on experience with application migration and modernization to cloud (rehost, replatform, refactor).
• Strong understanding of microservices, API-first, and distributed system architectures.
• Ability to lead architecture design while remaining hands-on with development.
• Experience conducting code reviews, enforcing coding standards, and ensuring security best practices.
• Strong troubleshooting skills with ability to resolve complex production issues and optimize performance.
• Proven ability to mentor teams and drive engineering best practices.

Requirements

• Relevant certifications (AWS Certified Solutions Architect etc.) are a plus.
• Familiarity with Linux/UNIX environments and strong Shell scripting experience.
• Knowledge of SQL or NoSQL databases.
• Ability to understand and meet architecture requirements, ensuring effective design, development, validation, and support.
• Capability to identify and resolve bottlenecks and bugs, with the ability to recommend effective solutions.
• Knowledge of identifying and addressing performance bottlenecks and ensuring the scalability and efficiency of applications.
