Azure Migration Engineer

As an Azure Migration Engineer, your role involves assessing current infrastructure for cloud migration feasibility and analyzing legacy applications for modernization and migration to the cloud. You will design and implement cloud-native applications using microservices, containerization, and serverless architectures. Your responsibilities also include migrating on-premise applications to Azure cloud, refactoring monolithic applications to microservices-based architecture, and implementing DevOps best practices like CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and automated testing. Working with cross-functional teams for seamless cloud adoption, ensuring scalability, security, and reliability of applications on the cloud, and assisting the Migration Lead in technical documentation and solution architecture are key aspects of your role. Additionally, you will provide post-migration support, address any arising issues, and build unique Azure cloud solutions using best practices. Monitoring and maintaining Azure cloud solutions for availability and performance are also part of your responsibilities.
