About the Role

Our Cloud Engineers design, build, and support secure, high-availability AWS environments that power our customer's transformation initiatives. Working within cross-functional delivery teams, you'll establish AWS foundational architecture — Control Tower, Landing Zone Accelerator, and multi-account strategy — and migrate on-premises and VMware-based estates onto that foundation, meeting rigorous performance, security, and cost-efficiency targets.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and deploy AWS foundational environments using Control Tower and Landing Zone Accelerator (LZA).

  • Define and implement multi-account strategy — AWS Organizations, OU structure, account vending, SCPs, and centralized logging and security tooling.

  • Implement IAM and Identity Center, guardrails, and security baselines across the account structure.

  • Lead discovery and assessment of on-premises estates — application dependency mapping, right-sizing analysis, and migration wave planning.

  • Determine and execute the appropriate migration strategy per workload — rehost (lift-and-shift) and replatform — balancing speed, risk, and long-term operating cost.

  • Perform lift-and-shift replication of on-premises and VMware-based virtual machines into EC2, including image conversion and OS/driver remediation.

  • Replatform workloads onto managed AWS services — migrating self-managed databases to RDS, load balancers to ALB/NLB, and static content delivery to CloudFront.

  • Apply agentic and automated migration tooling, including AWS Transform, to accelerate VMware discovery, network conversion, and wave execution at scale.

  • Design and build hybrid connectivity — Direct Connect, Site-to-Site VPN, Transit Gateway, DNS, and Active Directory integration.

  • Provision and configure VPC networking, compute, storage, and database services using Terraform and AWS CDK.

  • Automate operational and migration workflows using Lambda and Step Functions.

  • Execute storage and database migrations (DMS, DataSync, Storage Gateway, Snow Family) and validate data integrity.

  • Develop and maintain pipeline automation for infrastructure and application deployments.

  • Configure logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting — apply SRE practices to migrated workloads.

  • Produce cost-and-capacity reports with FinOps tooling; drive post-migration cost optimization.

  • Produce well-structured design documents, migration runbooks, diagrams, and hand-over guides.

AWS Foundational & Migration Tools

Foundation

  • AWS Control Tower — Automated landing zone setup and account governance.

  • Landing Zone Accelerator (LZA) — Deployable foundational architecture for regulated and complex environments.

  • AWS Organizations / Identity Center — Multi-account structure, OUs, SCPs, and centralized identity.

Migration

  • AWS Transform — Agentic AI-driven acceleration of VMware migration workflows.

  • AWS Migration Hub — Centralized tracking of migration progress.

  • AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) — Lift-and-shift replication of VMs to EC2.

  • VM Import/Export — Converting VM images.

  • AWS Application Discovery Service — Inventory and dependency mapping of source environments.

  • AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) — Homogeneous and heterogeneous database migration.

  • AWS DataSync / Storage Gateway / Snow Family — Bulk and hybrid data transfer.

Target Platform Services

  • EC2, EBS, S3, EFS/FSx — Compute and storage for migrated workloads.

  • RDS / Aurora — Managed relational databases for replatformed workloads.

  • ALB / NLB / Route 53 — Application and network load balancing, DNS, and traffic management.

  • CloudFront — Content delivery and edge caching.

  • Lambda / Step Functions — Serverless automation and workflow orchestration.

  • CloudWatch / CloudTrail / Systems Manager — Observability, audit, and fleet operations.

Qualifications
  • 6-10 years experience designing and operating infrastructure, with deep hands-on AWS experience.

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or similar.

  • Hands-on experience building AWS foundational environments — Control Tower, Landing Zone Accelerator, AWS Organizations, and multi-account architecture.

  • Demonstrated experience with cloud migrations; large-scale, multi-wave migrations a strong plus.

  • Practical experience executing rehost and replatform migrations, and the judgment to recommend the right approach per workload.

  • VMware background a plus (vSphere/vCenter, ESXi, virtual machine administration).

  • Hands-on experience with AWS Migration Hub, AWS Application Migration Service (MGN), and VM Import/Export.

  • Hands-on experience with core AWS services including EC2, S3, RDS, ALB/NLB, CloudFront, Lambda, and Step Functions.

  • Strong AWS networking fundamentals — VPC design, routing, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect/VPN, and DNS.

  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) — Terraform and AWS CDK — and at least one scripting language (Python, Bash, or PowerShell).

  • Solid Linux and/or Windows Server administration background.

  • Experience building CI/CD pipelines and integrating DevSecOps controls.

  • Familiarity with monitoring/observability stacks and incident-management processes.

  • Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and customer-facing communication skills.

  • Working knowledge of container runtime fundamentals and application modernization patterns.

  • Knowledge of compliance frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI) and security hardening.

  • Experience or strong working knowledge of AWS Transform for VMware is a significant plus.

AWS certification required: AWS Solutions Architect – Professional.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
