• Assist in creating technical documentation and reference patterns.

• Support the selection and implementation of AWS services (e.g., EC2, RDS, S3, EKS, Lambda).

• Work with tools for code transformation and migration (e.g., Micro Focus, Blu Age, AWS Mainframe Modernization).

• Participate in PoCs, migrations, and deployment activities.

• Support containerization and cloud-native adoption initiatives.

• Contribute to performance optimization and cost-efficiency efforts.

• Work closely with architects, developers, and cloud engineers.

• Share knowledge within the team and contribute to best practices documentation.

• 5–8 years of IT experience, with exposure to cloud and modernization projects.

• Solid knowledge of mainframe technologies (COBOL, JCL, CICS, DB2, VSAM).

• Hands-on experience working with AWS services (AWS certification is a plus).

• Experience in at least one modernization approach: rehost, replatform, or refactor.

• Basic understanding of microservices and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS).

• Strong collaboration and communication skills.
