3 weeks ago

San Francisco, United States Unreal Gigs Full time

Are you passionate about guiding organizations through seamless cloud migrations and ensuring minimal disruption during complex transitions? Do you have the technical expertise to plan and execute cloud migration strategies that enhance performance, scalability, and security? If you’re ready to lead critical migration projects and support businesses in unlocking the full potential of cloud computing, our client has the perfect role for you. We’re seeking a Cloud Migration Specialist (aka The Cloud Transition Expert) to design and execute strategies that facilitate smooth transitions to the cloud and optimize the post-migration environment.

As a Cloud Migration Specialist at our client, you’ll work closely with IT teams, engineers, and business leaders to map out migration paths, implement best practices, and manage risk during cloud transitions. Your role will be crucial in ensuring that all aspects of migration—from data transfer and security to application functionality—are handled with precision and care.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Develop and Execute Cloud Migration Plans:
    Create detailed migration plans that include timelines, resources, and risk assessments. You’ll lead the migration process from on-premises or legacy systems to cloud platforms, ensuring minimal downtime and data integrity.
  2. Assess Current Infrastructure and Plan for Cloud Integration:
    Perform comprehensive assessments of existing IT infrastructures, identifying the best strategies for migration. You’ll recommend cloud solutions tailored to business needs and future scalability.
  3. Implement Cloud Migration Best Practices:
    Follow industry best practices for data transfer, application rehosting, and system redesign. You’ll ensure that security, compliance, and performance standards are met throughout the migration process.
  4. Optimize and Test Post-Migration Environments:
    Post-migration, you’ll validate that systems and applications function as expected and optimize configurations for peak performance. You’ll conduct load testing and troubleshoot any issues that arise post-migration.
  5. Collaborate with Cross-Functional Teams:
    Work closely with development, IT, and operations teams to facilitate a smooth transition and provide training on new cloud-based workflows. You’ll ensure that all teams are aligned and ready for cloud operations.
  6. Ensure Data Security and Compliance:
    Implement security measures to protect data during transfer and maintain compliance with industry regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA, or local data privacy laws. You’ll monitor data integrity and secure access controls throughout the migration.
  7. Stay Updated on Cloud Technologies and Tools:
    Keep current with the latest trends in cloud technology, migration tools, and best practices. You’ll leverage emerging technologies that can enhance migration efficiency and effectiveness.

Required Skills:

  • Cloud Platform Expertise: Strong experience with major cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure. You’re familiar with migration tools like AWS Migration Hub, Azure Migrate, or Google Cloud’s Migrate for Compute Engine.
  • Migration Planning and Execution: Proficiency in developing and executing migration plans, including data transfer, application rehosting, and redesign strategies. You know how to minimize downtime and manage risk during migrations.
  • Security and Compliance Knowledge: Familiarity with security protocols and data compliance standards during migration processes. You can implement encryption, secure transfer methods, and access controls to protect sensitive data.
  • Infrastructure Assessment and Optimization: Ability to assess current IT infrastructures and recommend optimal cloud solutions. You’re skilled in post-migration performance tuning and troubleshooting.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration and Communication: Proven ability to work with diverse teams, including developers and IT administrators, to align cloud migration with business objectives. You can clearly communicate complex technical details to non-technical stakeholders.

Educational Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field. Equivalent experience in cloud migration and infrastructure may be considered.
  • Certifications in cloud platforms (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Google Professional Cloud Architect) are highly desirable.

Experience Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in cloud migration engineering or related roles, with a proven track record of executing successful migrations.
  • Hands-on experience with data transfer tools, cloud migration frameworks, and best practices for large-scale enterprise migrations.
  • Familiarity with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) and microservices architecture is a plus.
