• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and define migration strategies.
• Develop and implement migration processes to move legacy applications and data to cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Write scripts and automation to support data migration, system configuration, and cloud infrastructure provisioning.
• Ensure the migration adheres to performance, security, and compliance standards.
• Identify potential issues, troubleshoot, and implement fixes during the migration process.
• Maintain documentation of migration processes and post-migration maintenance plans.
• Provide technical support post-migration to ensure smooth operation of the migrated systems.

Primary Skills:

• Experience in migrating applications, services, or data to cloud platforms (preferably AWS).

• Strong communication skills to collaborate with stakeholders and document migration processes clearly.

Job Responsibilities:

1. Design and implement migration strategies for applications and databases from on-premises to cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP).
2. Write and execute scripts for automated data migration, ensuring data integrity and consistency.
3. Work with application development teams to redesign or refactor applications for cloud environments when necessary.
4. Conduct thorough testing of migrated applications and data to ensure that performance and functionality remain intact.
5. Ensure compliance with security and governance protocols during migration.
6. Provide support for troubleshooting post-migration issues and optimize application and infrastructure performance.
7. Document migration processes, configurations, and post-migration analysis reports.
8. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand the current environment and design solutions for migration.
