• Solid understanding of the 7 R’s of migration with hands-on exposure to applying them in real-world scenarios.
  
• Familiarity with leading migration tools including AWS Application Migration Service, Azure Migrate, DataSync, Jira/Confluence Migration Assistant, or Transition Manager.
  
• Strong communicator with a history of stakeholder engagement and cross-functional collaboration.

At Leidos, we don’t want someone who "fits the mold"—we want someone who melts it down and builds something better. This is a role for the restless, the over-caffeinated, the ones who ask, “what’s next?” before the dust settles on “what’s now.”

If you’re already scheming step 20 while everyone else is still debating step 2… good. You’ll fit right in.
