During this Mobilisation Phase, you'll work jointly with client's engineering teams to reverse-engineer the existing landscape, design the target-state architecture across every layer (infrastructure, data processing, workflows, dependencies, and operating model), and build the detailed delivery blueprint that will greenlight the full-scale migration. The work is technically rich and highly collaborative: you'll review and validate job inventories spanning hundreds of ETL workflows, define reusable migration patterns and templates, design a validation and reconciliation framework, run a proof-of-concept to stress-test the approach, and navigate client's rigorous internal governance - from Architectural Significance Assessments through Architectural Review Boards to a formal Gate 1 decision. This is the kind of engagement where your recommendations directly shape a multi-phase, multi-million-pound programme: the target-state framework you produce here becomes the blueprint that a larger delivery team will execute against. Perfect opportunity for combining deep data engineering knowledge with architecture leadership, stakeholder influence, and structured delivery planning inside a Tier 1 financial services environment Responsibilities * Wave planning - plan migration waves based on system dependencies and priorities * Complexity assessment - evaluate complexity of each workload/job prior to migration * Workload analysis - analyze existing batch processes, their dependencies, schedules, and SLAs * Orchestration migration strategy - design the strategy for migrating from Control-M to AWS Step Functions (job mapping, dependencies, triggers) * Cutover runbook - develop detailed cutover runbooks (steps, rollback points, success criteria) * Pod coordination - coordinate across multiple teams/pods involved in the migration * Release governance - manage release processes, ensuring quality and compliance with standards prior to deployment ## Related Videos - [The Migration Cookbook](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100164-the-migration-cookbook) - [How we built an AI-powered code reviewer in 80 hours](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1511-how-we-built-an-ai-powered-code-reviewer-in-80-hours) - [Fully Orchestrating Databricks from Airflow](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/336-fully-orchestrating-databricks-from-airflow) - [Shifting Stress to Progress— Understanding DevOps to do DevOps Better](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/268-shifting-stress-to-progress-understanding-devops-to-do-devops-better) - [Tips, Techniques, and Common Pitfalls Debugging Kafka](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/838-tips-techniques-and-common-pitfalls-debugging-kafka) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Best Companies to work for in London: Top 25 Companies in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/187-best-companies-to-work-for-in-london-top-25-companies-in-2023) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Mastering Remote Work: Tips for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/558-mastering-remote-work-tips-for-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs)
