Role description
Senior AWS Migration Engineer, contract, outside IR35, London & remote
Senior AWS Migration Engineer to join our team on a contract basis. You will play a key role in planning, executing, and optimizing cloud migration projects, specifically leveraging the full AWS service stack with a strong emphasis on serverless technologies like Lambda.
This role is ideal for an engineer passionate about cloud architecture, hands-on delivery, and solving complex migration challenges at scale.
Key Responsibilities
• Lead the end-to-end migration of applications, databases and services from on-premises or other cloud environments to AWS.
• Architect and design serverless and traditional cloud-native solutions utilizing AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Step Functions, and related services.
• Implement and optimize AWS infrastructure services (EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, CloudFormation, IAM, ECS, EKS, etc.).
• Collaborate with stakeholders to analyze current application architecture, design migration strategies, and create detailed migration runbooks.
• Automate infrastructure deployment and management through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using CloudFormation, Terraform, or CDK.
• Ensure high availability, scalability, performance, and security of AWS-hosted applications.
• Troubleshoot migration issues and optimize the transition process.
• Provide documentation, technical guidance, and mentorship to internal teams.
• Contribute to cloud best practices, governance, and optimization frameworks.
Key Skills and Experience
• Proven track record (5+ years) delivering complex AWS cloud migration projects at an enterprise level.
• Deep hands-on experience with AWS Lambda and serverless architecture patterns.
• Strong expertise across the full AWS services ecosystem (eg, EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, ECS, EKS, SQS, SNS, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, etc.).
• Proficient in Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation, Terraform, or AWS CDK).
• Experience with AWS migration tools (AWS Migration Hub, DMS, SMS, Application Migration Service).
• Strong knowledge of security best practices, networking, and cost optimization on AWS.
• Ability to write high-quality Python, Node.js, or Java code for AWS Lambda functions.
• Familiar with CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and automation (AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, Jenkins, etc.).
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a contractor capacity.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
Nice to Have
• AWS Certifications (eg, AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional, AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, AWS Certified Migration Specialist).
• Familiarity with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS Fargate).
• Previous experience in highly regulated environments (finance, healthcare, online commerce)
