Migration Execution: Lead end-to-end application migration projects using the 6Rs framework (Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Retire, Retain, Repurchase).

Technical Leadership: Guide cross-functional teams (DevOps, Data Engineering, Infrastructure) through architectural design, cloud-native transformation, and system integration.

Infrastructure Management: Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions (Terraform, Deployment Manager) to automate environment provisioning.

Performance & Governance: Establish guardrails for cloud cost management (FinOps), security compliance, and disaster recovery readiness.

Stakeholder Engagement: Act as a primary liaison between technical teams and executive leadership, providing status reporting, risk mitigation strategies, and roadmap alignment.

Requirements

Experience: 10+ years of progressive experience in IT, with at least 5+ years specializing in Cloud Architecture and Application Migration.

Migration Proficiency: Proven track record in executing large-scale, enterprise-level migrations from on-premises/legacy environments to Google Cloud Platform.

Technical Skills:

Proficiency in containerization (Docker, Kubernetes/GKE).

Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Cloud Build).

Strong knowledge of networking (VPN, Interconnect, Load Balancing) and security (Cloud Security Command Center, KMS).

Analytical Skills: Experience in assessing legacy application portfolios for cloud readiness, including dependency mapping and performance benchmarking.

Communication: Exceptional executive-level communication skills, capable of presenting complex cloud strategies to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

Certifications: Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect (Current) is highly preferred. Additional certifications in AWS or Azure are a plus.

Frameworks: Proficiency in Agile/Scrum delivery methodologies.

FinOps: Experience implementing cloud cost optimization strategies.

Data Migration: Experience with database migration tools and strategies (e.g., Database Migration Service, Cloud Spanner).
