job description

are just some of the reasons you should work with us. Senior Cloud Engineer: We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Cloud Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in cloud migration, cloud infrastructure, DevOps practices, and on-premises network and security knowledge. This role requires a deep understanding of cloud platforms, automation, and the ability to design, implement, and manage secure and scalable cloud solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

Cloud Migration: Lead and execute large-scale cloud migration projects from on-premises environments to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.). Assess existing on-premises infrastructure and applications to develop migration strategies. Plan and execute lift-and-shift, re-platforming, and re-architecture migrations. Ensure minimal downtime and data loss during migration processes. Proficiency in cloud migration tools and services (e.g., AWS Migration Hub, Azure Migrate, Google Cloud Migrate for Compute Engine). Develop and maintain automation scripts (primarily Python) for infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and migration tasks. Collaborate with application development teams to understand application

requirements

and ensure seamless migration. Cloud Infrastructure Management: Design, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure to support scalable and highly available applications. Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or ARM templates. Optimize cloud resources for cost, performance, and scalability. Monitor and troubleshoot cloud infrastructure and applications. DevOps Practices (Familiarity): Implement and manage CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps. Automate deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications using Kubernetes, Docker, or similar technologies. Collaborate with development teams to integrate DevOps best practices into the software development lifecycle. Ensure continuous integration, delivery, and deployment of applications.
