• Should have worked for 8 + years on cloud technologies.
• Strong in Cloud design, deployment and architecture.
• Should have worked on cloud migration using cloud native and 3rd party migration tools.
• Should have experience in working migration projects from on-premise to AWS, along with Azure or GCP is a plus,
• Should have managed such projects end-to-end right from migration strategy, assessment, solution design, architecture, planning and execution.
• Prior experience in Data centre exit projects or DC consolidation projects is must 
• At least 4 to 5 projects prior experience in large migrations – 1500+VMs & above is a must
• Familiarity with Hyperscaler programs on large migrations will be a plus – AWS – MAP, Azure – AMPP
• Prior experience working on AWS- MAP/Azure MMP- large migration projects with hands delivery – from Asses to Mobilize to Migrate phase is a must ( at least 2 to 3 projects) full cycle
Should have worked on migration of various on-premise resources and services, including infrastructure, application, database, etc., to different cloud providers• Should have experience in migrating physical servers / VMs / VDI / Storage / Active Directory / Firewall, etc., to AWS cloud
• Should have good experience in planning the strategies and executing for Backup, Disaster Recovery, Compliance and security, etc.,
• Ability to manage multiple priorities, and commitments, create and follow SOP, Run Books and process documents.
• Knowledge of virtualization technologies and vendors ((VMWare, VMC on AWS)
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• Strong learning aptitude and ability to learn new technologies independently
• Should have good communication and Interpersonal Skills
• Must have excellent organizational and time management skills
2Network Solution Design • Design resilient, multi-tier network architectures using VPCs, subnets, and cloud-native firewalls; include DMZs for public-facing services, private subnets for sensitive workloads, and bastion hosts for remote access.
• Define network segmentation, performance requirements, and redundancy, along with automated configuration and monitoring using native cloud tools
 Security Solution Design• Architect end-to-end encryption for data at rest and in transit, defining technical standards and selecting managed services with built-in encryption and auto-patching.
• Integrate Identity and Access Management at the design phase, implementing least privilege and Zero Trust principles, federated identity, multi-factor authentication, and logical segregation of roles.
• Establish architectural guardrails: detailed logging, security monitoring, and compliance mapping (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS), ensuring auditability and minimal disruption
 Backup & Storage Solution Design • Architect backup and retention policies for all data and workloads, selecting appropriate storage classes, scheduling automated snapshots, and ensuring compliance via policy enforcement.
• Implement continuous data replication for critical datasets using synchronous or asynchronous methods; design for geo-redundancy to protect against local disasters.
• Select and configure cloud-native or multi-cloud storage solutions (object, block, file) based on scalability, performance, and cost, with monitoring for backup success and integrity.
 Disaster Recovery (DR) Solution Design • Establish RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) metrics for critical workloads as part of architectural planning.
• Design automated failover solutions and orchestrated DR runbooks—utilize cloud-native or multi-cloud DR tools that provide instant failover and rapid recovery.
• Build geo-redundant, multi-zone/multi-region architectures to ensure high availability and minimal business disruption during emergencies.
• • Document and regularly test DR plans, adapting to business evolution and new threats for continued effectiveness
