  • The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in application modernization, cloud native architectures, AI driven efficiencies, and multi cloud migration strategies.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assess and analyze existing monolithic applications.
  • Design and implement modernization strategies (re architecting, refactoring, microservices transformation).
  • Apply cloud native principles (12 factor applications, scalability, resilience).
  • Integrate AI/ML components where applicable to improve efficiency and automation.
  • Containerize applications using Docker and Kubernetes (AKS/ACK or similar).
  • Build and manage scalable container orchestration platforms.
  • Implement CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments.
  • Work with existing Microsoft Azure workloads and services.
  • Optimize architecture for performance, scalability, and cost.
  • Ensure best practices in security, governance, and monitoring.
  • Design and execute migration strategies from Microsoft Azure to Alibaba Cloud.
  • Map Azure services to equivalent Alibaba Cloud services.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Strong experience in modernizing monolithic applications into microservices.
  • Deep hands on experience with Microsoft Azure services and architecture.
  • Proven experience or strong familiarity with Alibaba Cloud services.
  • Solid hands on experience with Kubernetes (deployment, scaling, troubleshooting).
  • Containerization: Docker, Kubernetes
  • Programming: Java / .NET / Python (strong proficiency in at least one)
  • CI/CD: Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar
  • Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Templates, Bicep, or Alibaba Cloud ROS
  • API Design & Microservices Architecture
  • Cloud Networking and Security

AI / Advanced Capabilities (Preferred)

  • Exposure to AI/ML services such as Azure AI Services, Azure Machine Learning, or Alibaba Cloud PAI.
  • Experience integrating AI capabilities into applications or operational workflows.

Soft Skills

  • Strong delivery ownership and accountability.
  • Excellent client facing communication skills.
  • Ability to work in complex, multi cloud environments.
  • Strong problem solving mindset with a hands on execution approach.

Experience Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in cloud engineering and application modernization.
  • Proven track record delivering end to end modernization projects.
  • Experience in multi cloud environments (Azure + Alibaba Cloud preferred).
  • Prior experience executing large scale migration projects.

Nice To Have

  • Microsoft Azure, Alibaba Cloud, or Kubernetes certifications.
  • Experience with service mesh technologies (Istio, Linkerd, etc.).
  • Knowledge of DevSecOps practices.

What We Expect

  • This is a delivery heavy role, not just architecture or advisory.
  • The successful candidate must remain hands on throughout the complete project lifecycle, including Application Modernization, Containerization, Migration, and Post Migration Optimization.
