## Description

We are seeking a hands-on Data Migration Engineer to support a large-scale Azure modernization and migration initiative. This individual will serve as a key technical contributor responsible for migrating databases and infrastructure components from legacy Azure environments to a newly defined target-state architecture.

The ideal candidate is a "doer" who can quickly assess existing environments, execute migration activities, validate results, and partner with architects and engineering teams to ensure successful cutovers with minimal disruption. This role is best suited for someone who has deep experience performing large-scale data migrations and Azure infrastructure transformations rather than defining enterprise architecture strategy.

Responsibilities

Execute end-to-end database migration activities for MySQL and SQL-based workloads.

Assess legacy Azure subscriptions and resource dependencies to support migration planning.

Perform large-scale data transfers while minimizing application downtime and business disruption.

Design and execute data synchronization strategies to maintain source and target system alignment.

Validate migrated data through reconciliation, testing, and integrity verification processes.

Support Azure subscription and resource group restructuring initiatives.

Migrate and validate connectivity across Azure networking components.

Analyze and document infrastructure dependencies, connectivity requirements, and migration risks.

Partner with solution architects, cloud engineers, and platform teams to execute approved migration plans.

Develop migration runbooks, cutover plans, rollback procedures, and post-migration validation documentation.

Troubleshoot migration issues and drive remediation through completion.

Support knowledge transfer and stabilization activities following migration events.
