Responsibilities

• Design, build, and continuously tune AWS cloud infrastructure so clients can hit their business goals

• Contribute to usage-based cost modeling and tune infrastructure for both performance and budget
• Help scope and execute workload migrations, including VM moves; relevant tooling spans cloud-native migration services (e.g., AWS MGN), hypervisor migration (e.g., VMware HCX), and third-party backup/recovery platforms (e.g., Veeam, Clumio)
• Confirm that workloads have landed cleanly in AWS, then retire the matching on-premises footprint
• Join daily progress check-ins and hold the team accountable to agreed technical approaches
• Log time against assigned projects each day
