Summary: The role of Windows Migration Engineer focuses on leading large-scale data migrations from on-premise storage platforms to AWS for enterprise transformation programs. The position requires expertise in managing petabyte-scale data movement, ensuring data integrity, and collaborating with various teams during migration events. The role is primarily remote but requires on-site attendance during major migration events. Candidates must have a strong background in enterprise storage platforms and cloud migration experience.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead data migration from legacy SAN/NAS arrays (EMC, NetApp, IBM, HPE etc.) to AWS storage services (EBS, S3, FSx).
  • Develop strategies for transferring very large datasets (including replication, delta syncs, snapshots, or Snowball).
  • Deliver migration cutovers during weekend/outage windows and ensure data integrity throughout.
  • Create detailed runbooks, rollback plans and validation steps.
  • Troubleshoot performance issues across hybrid on-prem/cloud storage environments.
  • Collaborate with application, database, OS and cloud teams to plan dependencies and sequencing.

Key Skills:

  • Strong background with enterprise storage platforms (EMC, NetApp, IBM, HPE or similar).
  • Hands-on experience migrating large datasets into AWS or another major cloud platform.
  • Knowledge of replication technologies, block/file transfer tools, snapshots and cloning.
  • Experience tuning performance and resolving latency/throughput issues.
  • Comfortable working during cutover weekends and high-pressure migration windows.
  • Exposure to AWS DataSync, Snowball, Storage Gateway or similar tools (nice to have).
  • Understanding of storage integration patterns for emulation platforms (e.g., Stromasys CHARON) (nice to have).
  • Experience supporting OS/database teams during large migration waves (nice to have).
