What you will do

 * Assess workloads and recommend rehost, replatform, refactor, retire, retain, relocate, or repurchase approaches using the 7 Rs.
 * Plan and execute AWS migrations, including discovery, dependency mapping, cutover planning, validation, rollback, and post-migration stabilization.
 * Build repeatable infrastructure and migration automation using Terraform and Python.
 * Migrate and modernize applications and data using AWS services such as EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, RDS, and related tools.
 * Create technical runbooks and operational documentation.
 * Support containerization and refactoring work using Docker, Kubernetes/EKS, and CI/CD practices.
 * Apply least-privilege, security, and compliance considerations throughout delivery.
