We are currently seeking a Cloud Migration Lead Engineer to join our team in UL, Uttaranchal (IN-UL), India (IN).

Experience: 10+ years in IT infrastructure and cloud technologies, including 5+ years in cloud migration delivery.

Role Summary

We are looking for an experienced Cloud Migration Technical Lead to lead enterprise migration engagements, primarily to AWS, with Microsoft Azure experience considered a strong advantage.

The successful candidate must combine hands-on technical expertise with the ability to lead migration teams, own technical decisions, manage customer expectations, and deliver migrations from discovery through cutover and hypercare.

This is a delivery-focused technical leadership role
, not a pure solution architecture, consulting, or project management position.

Own the technical delivery of cloud migration projects, from discovery and assessment through planning, execution, cutover, and stabilization.

Design and validate migration strategies for VMware, physical and virtual servers, Windows/Linux workloads, and enterprise applications.

Lead application dependency assessments, migration wave planning, sequencing, rollback planning, and technical risk management.

Define workload migration approaches, including rehost, replatform, and selective modernization.

Lead technical discussions with customers and coordinate Cloud Foundation, Migration Execution, Networking, Security, and application teams.

Review AWS Landing Zone readiness, connectivity, IAM, networking, security, and operational requirements.

Troubleshoot complex migration failures and support critical production cutovers.

Act as the customer-facing technical anchor across multiple delivery PODs.

Maintain architecture decisions, migration runbooks, technical documentation, and stage-gate acceptance criteria.

Mentor engineers, validate technical estimates, and improve migration automation and repeatability.

Demonstrated hands-on experience leading production migrations to AWS
, preferably across multiple enterprise customers.

Strong AWS infrastructure expertise: EC2, EBS, VPC, IAM, Route 53, Cloud Watch, AWS Backup, and related services.

Practical experience with AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) and workload migration tooling.

Strong knowledge of VMware vSphere, Windows Server, Linux, DNS, Active Directory, storage, and networking.

Experience with migration discovery, dependency mapping, migration wave planning, testing, and rollback strategies.

Ability to diagnose connectivity, performance, replication, operating system, and application-related migration issues.

Understanding of AWS security, hybrid connectivity, IAM, routing, and network segmentation.

Experience leading engineers and communicating technical risks to customers and stakeholders.

AWS Transform, River Meadow, Cloud Hedge, or comparable migration accelerators.

Azure VMware Solution (AVS), VMware HCX, or NSX.

Terraform, Cloud Formation, Ansible, or CI/CD automation.

AWS Direct Connect, Azure Express Route, VPN, firewalls, and advanced hybrid networking.

Database migrations using AWS DMS or native database migration technologies.

Experience with regulated environments, security compliance, or complex enterprise transformations.

AWS Solutions Architect Professional or AWS Certified Advanced Networking certification.

Independently lead customer migration engagements with minimal technical supervision.

Coordinate delivery across shared PODs without losing customer context or technical accountability.

Reduce migration failures, technical escalations, and cutover risks.

Improve migration repeatability, delivery quality, and engineering productivity.

Critical selection criterion: Candidates must demonstrate real production migration experience, including examples of migration challenges, failures, cutovers, and lessons learned.
