• Build observability through CloudWatch dashboards, logs, metrics, alerts, health checks, and progress reporting.
• Support secure multi-account deployment, IAM controls, privacy safeguards, testing, performance tuning, and production cutover.

Expected Deliverables

• Production-ready migration orchestration platform supporting both manifest and no-manifest paths.
• Hub-side governance for bandwidth control, queue processing, throttling, and completion reporting.
• Reusable rclone-based migration runtime with progress reporting and dynamic throttle support.
• DynamoDB-backed job, task, queue, bandwidth, and summary state management.
• CloudWatch dashboards, alarms, logs, runbooks, deployment automation, and operational documentation.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with Dell ECS, OBSv2, or other S3-compatible enterprise object storage platforms.
• Experience delivering enterprise-scale migrations in regulated, production environments.
• Experience with hub-and-spoke operating models across multiple AWS accounts.
• Ability to produce clear technical documentation and leadership-ready reporting.
