About the job
This company operates a global SaaS platform used by some of the world’s largest enterprises.

You’ll become the internal expert on your assigned systems - cataloguing data, identifying gaps, and driving migrations into their modern AWS platform. You’ll join client calls, distil what’s regional versus what belongs on the global roadmap, and get clients integrated and running. It’s part infrastructure, part integration plumbing, part technical account management and you’ll own all of it.
