Mactores
About this role
This is the second Mactores role on today's board, in the Application and Database Modernisation pillar, and it is attached to one specific mission: leading a large scale VMware to AWS migration all the way into production. The posting is unusually candid about why these projects fail, describing VMware estates as where modernisation programmes stall through sprawling dependency graphs and undocumented workloads while the hypervisor bill keeps growing. You would lead the design and implementation of the target infrastructure: AWS Landing Zones, EKS based container platforms, infrastructure as code in Terraform and CloudFormation, and high availability, disaster recovery, security and backup strategies that survive production. Mactores runs a forward deployed model, so you embed with the customer team, own the cutover sequencing and risk calls, and carry a delivery commitment against fixed contract dates. Mentoring engineers and shaping long term infrastructure strategy are also in scope.
Who this is for
What the posting requires:
- 6+ years of hands on DevOps experience, with strong expertise designing and managing cloud infrastructure.
- Strong experience in VMware to AWS migration projects or large scale infrastructure migrations.
- 4+ years of Terraform and CloudFormation for infrastructure as code.
- 4+ years in configuration management, systems engineering and managing production grade infrastructure.
- A solid Linux and/or Windows administration background.
- Deep understanding of AWS services including VPC, EC2, IAM, EKS, ECS, RDS, S3, Backup and CloudWatch.
- Production experience with Kubernetes on EKS, ECS and Docker.
- Hands on experience designing high availability, disaster recovery, security and backup strategies.
- Experience with Landing Zone setup, multi account strategy and AWS governance frameworks.
- Proficiency in Git, including branching and merging strategy.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automation and operational tooling.
Nice to have:
- Experience across multiple clouds, AWS plus Azure or GCP.
- AWS certifications such as Solutions Architect Associate or Professional, or DevOps Engineer Professional.
- Exposure to data platforms such as Amazon EMR, Redshift, Lake Formation and SageMaker.
- Experience designing cloud architectures at an L3 or architect level.
What the work actually looks like:
- Lead infrastructure design and implementation for a large scale VMware to AWS migration, from discovery through production cutover.
- Architect secure, scalable, highly available AWS environments including Landing Zones built to AWS best practice.
- Design and implement containerised platforms on Amazon EKS.
- Define and enforce practice across security, backups, HA, DR, monitoring and operations.
- Enable configuration management with Ansible, Chef or similar.
- Build CI/CD pipelines and own the build and release lifecycle for customer applications.
- Provide L3 support for complex infrastructure and platform issues.
- Retire legacy infrastructure and land cloud native architecture in its place.
- Mentor engineers and contribute to talent evaluation.
The delivery model, stated plainly: senior engineers embed with the customer team and personally carry the delivery commitment against fixed dates, with Mactores absorbing overage cost for delays inside its control. The company describes its agent platform as absorbing the discovery and dependency mapping grind so engineers own the judgement calls.
Location and working pattern: Mumbai, embedded with customer teams.
Honest fit guidance: this is consulting delivery work with a hard commitment attached, not a platform team seat. If prior migration experience is what you want to build on, the posting is direct that the goal is retired VMware clusters rather than revised project plans.
