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

Experience: 6+ years in IT infrastructure, including 2+ years of hands-on cloud migration or cloud infrastructure experience.

Role Summary

We are looking for hands-on Cloud Migration Engineers to execute enterprise workload migrations, primarily to AWS, with Microsoft Azure experience considered an advantage.

This is an execution-focused engineering position. The successful candidate must have practical experience migrating production servers or applications from on-premises or virtualised environments to public cloud platforms.

We are particularly interested in engineers with strong Windows/Linux infrastructure backgrounds who have participated directly in migration projects.

Execute server and workload migrations from on-premises, VMware, and other cloud environments to AWS.

Configure and operate AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) and other migration tools.

Perform source server assessments, agent installation, replication configuration, and migration readiness checks.

Execute test migrations, validate replicated workloads, and troubleshoot migration issues.

Participate in migration wave planning and technical cutover preparation.

Perform production cutovers, post-migration validation, and hypercare activities.

Troubleshoot operating system, networking, storage, DNS, Active Directory, and application connectivity issues.

Support migration run-book creation, technical documentation, and rollback procedures.

Collaborate with Technical Leads, Cloud Foundation Engineers, and customer application owners.

Identify opportunities to automate repetitive migration activities and improve migration efficiency.

Hands-on experience migrating Windows and/or Linux servers to AWS or another public cloud.

Practical experience with AWS EC2, EBS, VPC, security groups, and basic IAM.

Experience with AWS MGN, Azure Migrate, VMware HCX, River Meadow, or comparable server migration technologies.

Strong Windows Server and/or Linux administration and troubleshooting experience.

Knowledge of VMware vSphere or similar virtualization technologies.

Understanding of DNS, TCP/IP, routing, firewalls, and basic network troubleshooting.

Familiarity with server replication, testing, cutover, rollback, and post-migration validation.

Experience troubleshooting infrastructure and operating system issues.

Ability to follow migration run-books and execute production changes safely.

Microsoft Azure VM migration experience and Azure Migrate.

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

Power Shell, Bash, Python, or automation scripting.

Terraform, Ansible, or basic Infrastructure as Code experience.

Active Directory, Group Policy, and Windows infrastructure services.

SQL Server, Oracle, or other database migration exposure.

AWS networking, VPN, Direct Connect, or hybrid connectivity.

AWS IAM, cloud security, or operational monitoring.

Experience with application dependency mapping and migration discovery.

AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate, Sys Ops Administrator, or equivalent certification.

Independently execute assigned migration tasks and migration waves.

Deliver successful server migrations with minimal rework.

Identify and resolve replication, cutover, and post-migration issues.

Contribute to reusable migration procedures and automation.

Critical selection criterion: Candidates must demonstrate direct involvement in real server or workload migrations. General cloud operations, monitoring, or infrastructure support experience alone is insufficient.
