Senior VMWare Migration SSA, Solutions Architecture
As a VMWare migration SA, you will serve as a trusted technical advisor for customers undergoing cloud transformation. You will assess existing infrastructure, design target architectures on AWS, and guide customers through large-scale migration projects — from initial discovery through cutover and optimization. Your deep understanding of on-premises data center environments will be critical in helping customers realize the full value of the cloud.
This role requires a strong technical background in enterprise infrastructure, combined with the ability to communicate effectively with both technical teams and executive stakeholders.
Key job responsibilities
• Migration Strategy & Planning: Define end-to-end migration strategies for enterprise customers, including workload discovery, application dependency mapping, migration wave planning, and cutover execution.
• Architecture Design: Design scalable, resilient, and cost-optimized AWS target architectures for migrated workloads, including compute, networking, storage, and database tiers.
• On-Premises Assessment: Conduct deep technical assessments of customer on-premises environments, including VMware vSphere/vCenter clusters, SAP application servers (NetWeaver, S/4HANA, BW), and Oracle Database deployments.
• VMware Migration: Guide customers through VMware-to-AWS migration paths, leveraging tools such as AWS Application Migration Service (MGN), AWS Transform, and related VMWare special services.
• SAP and Oracle Database Migration: Support customers migrating enterprise workloads, like SAP and Oracle databases, to AWS (Amazon RDS, EC2-hosted Oracle, or migration to Amazon Aurora/PostgreSQL), including schema conversion and data replication strategies using AWS DMS and SCT.
• Customer Engagement: Engage with C-level executives and IT leadership to articulate migration value propositions, build business cases, and drive cloud adoption decisions.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with account teams, Professional Services, partners, and other specialist SAs to deliver comprehensive migration solutions.
• Enablement & Thought Leadership: Mentor other Solutions Architects on migration best practices, contribute to internal knowledge bases, and represent AWS at customer events and industry conferences.
