• Collaborate with architects, business analysts, developers, testers, infrastructure teams, security teams, and client stakeholders to ensure smooth migration execution.
• Identify migration risks, technical blockers, data quality issues, regulatory considerations, and operational dependencies early in the lifecycle.
• Support SIT, UAT, regression testing, reconciliation, parallel runs, cutover planning, go-live readiness, and post-migration stabilization.
• Ensure compliance with banking-grade standards for security, auditability, data privacy, access control, and production change governance.

Skill Requirements

Required Skills and Experience

• 10-12 years of IT experience with at least 2-3 years in technology migration, modernization, upgrade, re-platforming, cloud migration, or data migration programs.
• Strong understanding of software development lifecycle, migration lifecycle, release management, change management, and production support processes.
• Hands-on experience in one or more technology stacks such as Java, .NET, Python, SQL, PL/SQL, Mainframe, ETL, APIs, microservices, cloud platforms, or enterprise integration technologies.
• Experience in analyzing legacy code, databases, stored procedures, interfaces, reports, jobs, and technical dependencies.
• Ability to create technical documentation, migration runbooks, cutover plans, issue logs, reconciliation reports, and status updates.
• Working knowledge of AI tools such as GitHub Copilot, Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT-style assistants, code conversion accelerators, test generation tools, or AI-based documentation tools.
• Good understanding of banking processes such as payments, cards, lending, deposits, customer onboarding, trade finance, risk, compliance, or regulatory reporting will be preferred.

• Understanding of DevOps, CI/CD, version control, automated testing, observability, and deployment pipelines.
• Ability to evaluate where AI can improve migration productivity, reduce manual effort, improve quality, and accelerate knowledge transition.
• Experience working in Agile, hybrid, or large-scale transformation programs with distributed teams.

AI Enablement Expectations

• Use AI tools responsibly to accelerate code understanding, reverse engineering, documentation, test design, and issue analysis.
• Validate AI-generated outputs for accuracy, security, compliance, and maintainability before use in project deliverables.
• Identify repeatable migration tasks that can be automated or AI-assisted.
• Contribute to prompt templates, reusable checklists, migration accelerators, and knowledge assets.

Demonstrate openness to learning new AI tools and applying them in day-to-day delivery without compromising governance or quality
