You’ll play a critical role in designing and implementing a new AWS-hosted SAS environment, collaborating with technical and business stakeholders throughout the migration lifecycle. If you enjoy solving complex infrastructure challenges, leading enterprise migrations, and working across Windows, Linux, and cloud technologies, this project offers the chance to make a lasting impact while expanding your cloud architecture expertise.

- Strong knowledge of SAS Metadata Server, Enterprise Guide, SAS/Access, and platform configuration
- Experience applying SAS hot fixes, patches, and performing post-installation validation
- Experience migrating enterprise applications from on-premises infrastructure to AWS
- Strong AWS infrastructure experience, including EC2, storage, networking, and server provisioning
- Windows Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) administration experience
- Experience managing file systems, permissions, batch scheduling, and server migrations
- Strong troubleshooting skills across infrastructure, operating systems, and SAS platform components
- Excellent communication and documentation skills
Desired Skills & Experience
- SAS 9.4M8 migration experience
- Experience consolidating multi-tier SAS environments into AWS
- Knowledge of migration planning and implementation methodologies
- Experience supporting User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
- Technical leadership or consulting experience
- Experience creating infrastructure and migration documentation, including Pre-Installation Requirements Documents (PIRD)
- Knowledge transfer and post-implementation support experience

Daily Responsibilities
