We’re looking for an Azure Migration Specialist to lead or participate in projects migrating infrastructure, applications, and data from on-premises or hybrid environments to Microsoft Azure. You will work in a cross-functional team, collaborate with stakeholders, and ensure migrations are executed efficiently, securely, and with minimal interruptions.

 

Responsibilities

 

  • Assess current on-premises infrastructure, servers, applications, dependencies, network, storage, and databases to define the migration plan.

  • Perform discovery and dependency analysis across applications, services, and data.

  • Select the most appropriate migration strategy: lift & shift, refactor, rearchitect, or rebuild.

  • Design the target Azure architecture, including networking, identity, security, VMs, storage, high availability, and disaster recovery (DR).

  • Utilize Microsoft migration tools (Azure Migrate, Azure Site Recovery, Database Migration Service) or third-party tools.

  • Develop automation and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for provisioning using Terraform, ARM, Bicep, PowerShell, or Azure CLI.

  • Plan and execute migration tests and pilot runs to validate functionality prior to full cutover.

  • Manage cut-over, data migration, synchronization, and minimize downtime.

  • Post-migration: monitor performance, optimize costs, ensure security and compliance, and make necessary adjustments.

  • Document every stage of the project, including runbooks, playbooks, and rollback plans.

  • Coordinate with cross-functional teams (infrastructure, networking, security, applications, business) and manage project stakeholders.

 

 

Requirements and Skills

 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

  • Proven hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure: VMs, Azure SQL / Managed Instances, Azure Storage, VNets, NSGs, ExpressRoute / VPN, Azure AD / identity services.

  • Experience with Azure migration tools: Azure Migrate, Azure Site Recovery, Database Migration Service.

  • Solid cloud networking, security, governance, and compliance knowledge.

  • Proficiency in automation and IaC: Terraform, ARM, Bicep, PowerShell, Azure CLI.

  • Ability to diagnose infrastructure, performance, interdependencies, and migration-related issues.

  • Knowledge of backup, disaster recovery, and high availability solutions.

  • Experience in development with at least one framework, preferably .NET.

  • Strong communication skills in Portuguese and English.

  • Familiarity with agile methodologies or project management frameworks (Scrum, Kanban).
