Accountabilities:

• Lead large-scale application portfolio discovery and assessment engagements covering hundreds to thousands of applications across heterogeneous enterprise environments.
• Design assessment frameworks covering technical health, cloud readiness, containerization and serverless readiness, modernization opportunities, dependencies, and integration topologies.
• Conduct technical interviews and workshops with development, operations, architecture, and executive stakeholders to complement automated discovery data with business and technical context.
• Produce executive-quality assessment reports, portfolio heat maps, technical findings, treatment recommendations, and application-level migration or modernization readiness scores.
• Design target-state cloud architectures across web, middleware, database, and application layers, primarily using AWS with awareness of Azure and GCP environments.
• Define DevSecOps transformation approaches covering CI/CD, automated testing, security scanning, infrastructure as code, and GitOps practices.
• Develop structured R-Treatment decision frameworks and determine appropriate application placement across modernization approaches based on business value, technical health, cloud fit, and strategic priorities.
• Design migration sequencing and wave plans that account for business priorities, technical dependencies, risk concentration, and delivery capacity.
• Build migration risk registers covering application, integration, data migration, and organizational change considerations.
• Translate assessment findings into milestone-driven modernization roadmaps, business cases, TCO and ROI models, and defensible application-level effort estimates.
• Own assessment and roadmap solutioning narratives for proposals, from discovery scoping through roadmap presentations and commercial structuring.
• Lead technical solution defense sessions with clients, alliance teams, and strategic partners.
• Collaborate on reusable assessment and strategy assets, GenAI-assisted assessment tooling, automated code analysis, dependency extraction, cloud readiness scoring, proofs of concept, and platform demonstrations.

Requirements:

• 15+ years of experience in enterprise technology, including development and solutioning experience.
• 8–12 years of application architecture experience with demonstrated specialization in application portfolio assessment, migration strategy, and modernization roadmap development at enterprise scale.
• Proven experience leading assessments for large enterprise portfolios, ideally covering 50–1,000+ applications across heterogeneous technology landscapes.
• Strong multi-cloud experience designing migration and modernization architectures from on-premises environments to AWS, Azure, and/or GCP.
• Deep expertise in R-Treatment frameworks and the ability to independently classify applications and recommend modernization approaches with clear technical and business rationale.
• Strong understanding of containerization, serverless, re-platforming, rearchitecting, microservices, event-driven architecture, and API-first principles.
• Hands-on familiarity with application discovery and assessment tools such as AWS MGN, CAST, Dynatrace, AppDynamics, SonarQube, Veracode, and AWS X-Ray.
• Strong knowledge of cloud-native architecture and AWS services across application platforms, databases, infrastructure, migration, data, and AI.
• Experience with DevSecOps toolchains including Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Terraform, and CloudFormation.
• Ability to develop TCO models, ROI analyses, and modernization investment cases for executive audiences.
• Excellent written communication, presentation, and storytelling skills, with the ability to produce board-quality assessment reports, portfolio heat maps, and roadmap presentations.
• Proven ability to work effectively in onsite-offshore delivery models and engage directly with C-suite and senior technical stakeholders.
• Strong consulting, solution engineering, or pre-sales experience is preferred.
• Ability to operate strategically while maintaining sufficient technical depth to evaluate complex application estates and transformation options.

Benefits:

• Opportunity to shape large-scale enterprise transformation initiatives with Fortune 500 organizations.
• High-impact role combining architecture, strategic advisory, solution engineering, and modernization planning.
• Exposure to AI-first transformation methodologies and emerging GenAI-enabled assessment capabilities.
• Global collaboration with teams and clients across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and other regions.
• Direct engagement with senior executives and opportunities to influence major technology and business decisions.
• Entrepreneurial environment with autonomy, rapid execution, and reduced bureaucracy.
• Opportunities for professional growth within a fast-moving, innovation-focused organization.
