AWS Cloud Migration Engineer

We are seeking an experienced AWS Cloud Migration Engineer to drive large-scale rehost migration of VMware-based server workloads to AWS. This role involves end-to-end migration execution assessment, wave planning, migration tooling, cutover, and validation as part of a data center exit program with a defined deadline.

Key Responsibilities

• Assess existing VMware (vSphere/vCenter) server estate — OS versions, dependencies, storage, and networking configuration
• Design and execute migration waves using AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) for rehost (lift-and-shift) strategy
• Install and manage AWS Replication Agents on source servers; monitor continuous replication health
• Plan cutover sequencing, minimize downtime windows, and coordinate with application/business owners
• Design target-state AWS architecture: VPC, subnets, security groups, IAM roles, and instance sizing/right-sizing
• Handle network cutover planning — Direct Connect/VPN, DNS, routing changes
• Perform pre- and post-migration validation (connectivity, performance, application functionality)
• Troubleshoot replication failures, boot issues, driver/OS compatibility problems during test/cutover launches
• Build and maintain migration runbooks, wave trackers, and rollback plans
• Automate repetitive migration tasks (server discovery, agent deployment, launch template management) using scripting
• Coordinate with security/compliance teams on hardening, patching, and licensing (BYOL vs AWS-native)
• Report migration progress against DC exit milestones

Required Skills & Experience

• 3+ years experience with AWS MGN
• Strong knowledge of AWS core services: EC2, VPC, IAM, EBS, Direct Connect/VPN, Route 53
• Experience with large-scale server migration programs (500+ servers preferred)
• Solid understanding of Windows and Linux server administration
• Scripting/automation skills (Python, PowerShell, Ansible, or Bash) for migration tooling and discovery
• Experience with wave planning and cutover coordination in enterprise environments
• Familiarity with monitoring/observability tools during migration and post-cutover validation (CloudWatch, ELK, or similar)
• Strong documentation, runbook creation, and stakeholder communication skills

Nice to Have

• AWS Certified Solutions Architect or AWS Migration Specialty certification
• Prior experience with data center exit programs under tight deadlines
• Experience with AWS Migration Hub for tracking large migration portfolios
• Exposure to regulated industries (BFSI, healthcare, etc.)

Pay: Up to ₹3,500,000.00 per year

Experience:

• AWS: 3 years (Required)
• Migration: 2 years (Required)
• Vmware To AWS Migration: 1 year (Preferred)
