Azure Migration Sr. Engineer

We are seeking a contract Azure Migration Engineer to execute a tenant-to-tenant Azure workload migration. This is a hands-on technical role with direct accountability for migrating files, and Azure workloads from a source Azure tenant to a new target tenant. You know you're a fit if you have at least 5 years' of migration execution experience and a working understanding of the identity, networking, and governance boundaries specific to cross-tenant work. This is not a design-only engagement — the engineer is expected to own and execute.

Responsibilities

• Design and execute the end-to-end tenant-to-tenant migration plan across file, authentication, connected apps
• Configure cross-tenant infrastructure such as B2B trust policies, subscription and management group mapping between source and target tenants, etc.
• Deploy Azure File Sync, configure storage tiering (Hot/Cool/Archive), author lifecycle management policies, and execute share cutover with minimal downtime. Map file share(s) and ensure user access.
• Configure and validate identity and access controls across tenants: Entra ID guest accounts, cross-tenant role assignments, and service principals for migration tooling
• Migrate on-premises SQL databases to Azure and validate integrity and performance post-migration
• Execute Azure-to-Azure SQL migrations by designing pipeline-based data movement (ADF or equivalent), configuring the replication or backup/restore for cross-tenant transfer, and defining failover and rollback strategy
• Assess and remediate stored procedures for SQL Server version compatibility (2012 → 2019)
• Align networking and security across tenants
• Author cutover runbooks and automation scripts (PowerShell/CLI, Terraform) to ensure repeatable, auditable execution
• Produce and maintain migration status reporting for delivery leadership throughout the engagement

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in a related field, along with 5+ years experience in Cloud migrations
• Demonstrated experience executing Azure tenant-to-tenant migrations
• Proficiency with Azure migration tooling such as Azure Migrate, AzCopy, Azure File Sync, Azure Database Migration Service (DMS), Database Migration Assistant (DMA), SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA), and Azure Data Factory
• Strong scripting capability in PowerShell and Azure CLI; proficiency with Terraform for infrastructure automation preferred
