The opportunity:

Celfocus is seeking a Cloud Engineer (Professional / Senior Professional) with strong hands-on AWS experience to join our Cloud & Infrastructure team and support infrastructure migration projects to AWS. Experience with other cloud providers, such as Azure or Google Cloud, is considered a plus.

You will be part of a team responsible for assessing, planning and executing the migration of on-premises and hybrid workloads to AWS, from discovery and landing zone setup to cutover and post-migration optimisation. In Celfocus we believe in personal growth, so opportunities will be given to learn and certify your knowledge.

You will work closely with Architects, Developers and client teams to deliver migrated environments that are secure, scalable, reliable and cost-efficient. At Senior Professional level, you are expected to lead migration waves and provide technical guidance to less experienced team members.

This role requires a strong command of the English language and the ability to discuss, design and build solutions with clients and global partners.

Your day-to-day:

• Participate in discovery and assessment of existing infrastructure (servers, storage, networking, databases and application dependencies).

• Define migration strategies per workload (rehost, replatform, refactor, retire, retain) and contribute to migration plans and wave planning.

• Design and implement AWS landing zones and foundational infrastructure (multi-account structure, VPC networking, IAM, security baselines).

• Execute workload migrations using AWS migration tools and Infrastructure as Code, including testing, cutover and rollback planning.

• Establish hybrid connectivity between on-premises and AWS (Site-to-Site VPN, Direct Connect, Transit Gateway, DNS).

• Optimise migrated workloads for performance, resilience, security and cost after go-live.

• Produce technical documentation, runbooks and handover materials for operations teams.

• Always be mindful of security by default and follow AWS Well-Architected best practices.

What you'll bring:

• Professional: 3+ years of experience in cloud/infrastructure engineering; Senior Professional: 5+ years, with proven experience leading migration projects.

• Strong hands-on experience with AWS core services: EC2, VPC, S3, EBS/EFS, RDS, IAM, ELB, Route 53, CloudWatch.

• Practical experience migrating workloads to AWS, ideally with AWS Application Migration Service (MGN), Database Migration Service (DMS) and/or DataSync.

• Competence in IaC technologies such as Terraform and/or CloudFormation; Ansible is a plus.

• Solid knowledge of networking (TCP/IP, DNS, routing, VPN, load balancing) and hybrid architectures.

• Solid Linux and/or Windows Server administration skills, plus scripting (Bash, PowerShell or Python).

• Knowledge of DevOps practices and tools (Git, CI/CD pipelines).

• Fluent in English, both verbal and written.

• Self-motivated and able to adapt in a demanding multicultural environment.

• Structured and detail-oriented, with a strong sense of ownership during cutovers and go-lives.

• Problem solver, able to think out of the box and troubleshoot under pressure.

• Ease of interpersonal relations and a taste for teamwork.

• Good communication skills with both technical and business stakeholders.

• Mentoring mindset, able to guide and support less experienced engineers (Senior Professional).

Nice to have:

• AWS Certifications (e.g. AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate/Professional, AWS Certified SysOps Administrator).

• Experience with AWS Control Tower / Organizations, AWS Migration Hub and the Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) methodology.

• Experience with containers and Kubernetes (Amazon EKS/ECS).
