You bring deep expertise in migrating core workloads - including Windows, SQL Server, Linux, PostgreSQL, and Oracle—to Azure. Beyond migration, you lead customers through modernization using the 6R strategy, containerization best practices, and Azure-native services like App Service and AKS, while exploring how AI and intelligent agents can accelerate legacy transformation.
You also apply strong networking knowledge to design hybrid and cloud-native solutions, including virtual networks, VPNs, and secure routing architectures that meet enterprise performance and compliance needs. You complement this with trusted partner solutions like NetApp, VMware, RedHat, and SAP to ensure a secure, optimized, and scalable migration experience.
As you join the team, you will have the opportunity to grow your technical expertise with access to a wide range of Microsoft learning resources - including support for earning industry-recognized certifications across Azure infrastructure, security, and AI.
With a solid understanding of Azure security services and compliance frameworks you will help customers meet regulatory requirements and build Cloud environments that are ready for the future.
