• Provide support for application cutovers during off-hours, ensuring successful cutovers with minimal disruption.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure all migration steps are performed correctly and on time.
• Available for three planned cutovers, each lasting between 8 to 10 hours, occurring between 10 PM and 6 AM UK Time.

Must-Have Skills:

• Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) expertise, including Object Scale/Elastic Cloud Storage Services.
• Experience with Centera and familiarity with CAS data formats, including knowledge of CAS clips and clip lists.
• Proficiency in ECS Sync migration tools and ECS Native Transformation.
• Hands-on experience in cloud data migrations and support in real-time cutover scenarios.
• Ability to work independently during critical phases without support.

• Experience with ECS Sync and ECS Native Transformation tools.
• Exposure to ECS Sync migration and native transformation approaches.

Requirements:

• Availability for scheduled cutovers (Friday or Saturday evenings).
• Willingness to work during off-hours (10 PM - 6 AM UK Time).
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills to handle challenges independently.
