Technical Consultant

As a Technical Consultant at Rackspace Technology, you will spearhead end-to-end cloud transformation initiatives for enterprise clients. Your role will encompass the entire lifecycle, from initial application assessment and migration execution to post-migration optimization. You will collaborate directly with client teams to evaluate on-premises workloads, architect robust migration strategies, and deliver production-ready cloud solutions on AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Key responsibilities include:

• Conducting technical discovery and application assessments to determine cloud readiness, dependencies, and migration complexity.
• Designing and architecting migration pathways, including lift-and-shift, re-platforming, and re-architecture patterns for on-premises to cloud migrations.
• Leading cloud assessment engagements using native discovery tools and developing business cases with TCO analysis and migration roadmaps.
• Performing hands-on migration execution for servers, databases, and storage utilizing platform-native services and third-party tools.
• Designing hybrid connectivity solutions for on-premises integration, including dedicated interconnects, site-to-site VPNs, and transit architectures.
• Building secure and governed cloud landing zones with appropriate security baselines, identity management, and network segmentation across multi-account/subscription environments.
• Collaborating with application teams to refactor legacy workloads for cloud-native architectures such as containers and serverless.
• Documenting migration runbooks, cutover plans, and rollback procedures for production transitions.
• Providing essential post-migration support, focusing on cost optimization, performance tuning, and seamless operational handoff to client teams.
