Noida's Sector 62 has a full-time opening for a Cloud Migration Engineer, on-site, paying INR 105,500 a month. The role sits within a cloud and DevOps team that handles moving client workloads off legacy infrastructure and onto cloud platforms, and the pay reflects a mid-level hire rather than an entry-level one.
Requirements at a glance
The company is asking for a four-year degree in a computing-related discipline as the baseline entry ticket, plus three years of hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure work. That experience needs to include real exposure to containerization and to building automated deployment pipelines, since migration work rarely stops at "move the data" and usually involves rebuilding how a system deploys once it's live on the new platform.
- Cloud platform experience across AWS, Azure, or GCP, ideally more than one of them
- Practical use of migration tooling, whether that's AWS Migration Hub, Azure Migrate, or a comparable tool used to plan and execute large workload moves
- Solid networking fundamentals, since misconfigured VPCs, subnets, or routing tables are behind a large share of failed or delayed migrations
- Scripting ability, usually Python or Bash, for automating the repetitive parts of a migration rather than doing them by hand every time
What the work looks like week to week
Provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure makes up a good part of this role, alongside building and maintaining the automated deployment pipelines that keep migrated systems updating correctly once they're live. Monitoring system performance and reliability after a cutover matters just as much as the migration itself, since a workload that looks fine on day one can develop problems a week later under real production load. And when infrastructure incidents come up, whether during a migration window or after, this engineer is expected to respond and work the problem rather than wait for someone else to take it.
A recent migration on this team involved moving a customer database to a new region, and everything checked out in testing until the cutover, when application response times quietly doubled because the new region added an extra network hop the team hadn't accounted for in their latency estimates. It got fixed by re-routing traffic through a closer edge location, but it's a good example of how migration work often surfaces problems that don't show up until real traffic hits the new setup.
Skills that help beyond the basics
Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform or CloudFormation is genuinely valuable here, since most migrations at this company are documented and repeated as code rather than done each time manually. Familiarity with database migration specifically, separate from general infrastructure migration, is useful too, given how often data consistency issues come up during a cutover. Any background in cloud cost optimization is a plus, since clients often ask about ongoing cloud spend almost as soon as a migration wraps up.
Compensation and benefits
Base pay is INR 105,500 per month. This full-time cloud and DevOps role includes health insurance, paid time off, and provident fund contributions. As an on-site position, it also includes access to the office cafeteria and either cab support or a commute allowance, depending on distance from the office.
Where this fits
Naukri Mitra is handling this search for a Sector 62 team that's been steadily busier over the past couple of years as more clients look to move off on-premises infrastructure. Sector 62 itself has grown into one of Noida's denser tech corridors, so commute logistics tend to be manageable for anyone already based in the wider NCR region. A migration engineer who does well here typically moves toward either a cloud architecture track or a broader DevOps lead role within a few years, depending on which direction interests them more.
Candidates should come ready to talk through a migration or infrastructure change they've personally handled, including what went wrong along the way, since that tends to reveal more than a checklist of certifications. Both local candidates and those open to relocating to the NCR region are welcome to apply, and the team reviews applications as they arrive rather than on a fixed cycle.
