Technical Lead - AWS Migration & Modernization

Responsibilities

• Direct discovery, wave planning, continuous replication and cutover of legacy environments to AWS using AWS MGN, DMS and automated validation tooling
• Write production-grade Terraform/CDK, Python and Bash scripts to automate pre-flight checks, server configuration and cutover tasks to keep cutover windows minimal
• Enforce the 6 pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework across security guardrails (SCPs, IAM, KMS), network routing and cost efficiency
• Author minute-by-minute execution runbooks, direct the migration bridge during maintenance windows and ensure safe rollback mechanisms exist for every workload
• Run the migration engine: map dependencies across teams, break waves into prioritized backlogs, unblock technical issues and keep delivery on schedule
• Guide application teams to assess workloads (using the 7 Rs) and help them move toward containers (ECS/EKS), managed data (RDS/Aurora) or serverless
• Work directly with InfoSec and Network teams to automate compliance, IAM least privilege and direct-connect/hybrid connectivity before workloads ever touch production
• Lead through code reviews, pair programming on automation scripts and establishing practical migration patterns the wider team can reuse
• Choose migration tooling, pipeline frameworks and design patterns and decide where to rehost or modernize
• Own the technical readiness review and have authority to halt or reschedule a cutover if standards are not met
