  • Define migration patterns (rehost, refactor, re-platform) based on application dependencies and business requirements
  • Coordinate with application, network, and security teams to ensure successful migration outcomes
  • Troubleshoot complex hybrid environment issues across VMware and cloud platforms
  • Partner with cloud architects, infrastructure teams, security, and application teams to align migration strategies with business priorities
  • Create and maintain detailed technical documentation, migration runbooks, and best practices
  • Contribute to architectural standards and reference designs

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of hands-on cloud engineering experience (AWS, Azure, or GCP) with prior general IT/infrastructure background
  • 7+ years of overall IT infrastructure or systems experience, including server, network, and storage platforms
  • Strong experience with at least one major cloud provider: AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
  • Expertise in compute, storage, networking, and security services
  • Experience with hybrid and multi-cloud architectures
  • Experience migrating workloads from on-premises environments (e.g., VMware) to cloud platforms
  • Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as: Terraform, CloudFormation / ARM / Bicep
  • Strong scripting and automation skills: Python, PowerShell, Bash
  • Working knowledge of security frameworks such as NIST, CIS, or ISO 27001
  • Experience implementing cloud security guardrails, identityโ€‘first access controls, logging, encryption, and compliance controls
  • One or more active cloud certifications such as: AWS Certified (Associate or Professional), Microsoft Azure Certified, or Google Cloud Professional Engineer highly preferred
  • Ability to travel up to 10%
