• 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.

• 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.
