Infoview Systems Looking for Senior AWS Migrations Specialist & Solutions Architect: at Hyderabad, Telangana Full Time

A fast-paced start-up specializing in the delivery of technical professional services for the public cloud – primarily Amazon Web Services (AWS).

We want to change the way that people look at and use cloud services as we believe that any organization from small start-ups to large multinationals can unleash the power of these services to improve their business.

We work with IT Services providers and enable them to identify opportunities for their customers looking at public cloud solutions. We work seamlessly with their sales and technical teams to scope the opportunities before working with their customers to implement effective technical solutions.

A key growth area for the business is migrating customers into AWS. In particular, we are helping several FTSE-100 companies and public sector organizations to move from legacy on-premises data centers, into AWS. Often the first step of these migrations is a “lift-and-shift”, but we’re also seeing increasing appetite for modernization and refactoring.

We are scaling our migration team, and are looking for a solutions architect with a background in Windows technologies, including MS SQL, and clustering technologies such as Always On and Windows Failover Clustering. Active Directory is often a key component of successful migrations, and so we need someone with a strong background in AD, too.

We are looking for a person who is excellent at engaging in technical discussions and can lead by example, spreading their knowledge and working as a part of our team of architects to design, build and deliver solutions on AWS. We have established ourselves as a sociable and approachable company whether this is internally or at external / customer events so the ideal candidate should be both technically confident and sociably comfortable in front of people.
