This role is very practical and execution\u2011focused: you\u2019ll design the migration approach and also be directly involved in making it happen.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #121317\">The ideal person has solid experience with AWS migrations at scale, a background working with Java\u2011based environments, and confidence dealing with complex systems. Strong communication, ownership, and decision\u2011making are key, as you\u2019ll be responsible for the technical direction and collaborating closely with different areas throughout the project.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #121317\">You will be working to explore the on\u2011premise platform in greater detail and solve the migration puzzle. You are given the freedom and autonomy to put your leadership skills to practice. You will also be joining a small, highly experienced team of developers with a strong combined knowledge base, especially around AWS, who can support you throughout the project. In this setup, the solutions you build are quickly adopted and have visible impact across the platform.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #121317\">The migration is only the starting point.
