# Lead Database Migration Engineer at Mactores

- **Company:** Mactores
- **Location:** Mumbai, India
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** remote
- **Posted:** 2026-07-08
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-11
- **Apply:** https://jobs.lever.co/mactores/8098f055-ff30-4b44-92ed-55dd8fb7b745

## Job description

Mactores is the agent-native AWS modernization firm. Most modernization work doesn't ship, it stalls in pilots, slips a year, or lands at three times the budget. We exist to ship it: production systems running, legacy retired, outcomes measured. Our delivery is built on Aedeon, the agent platform built by Mactores' founders' sister company, which absorbs the repetitive 60–70% of engagement work, discovery, dependency mapping, validation, test generation, that traditional consulting bills human hours against. Forward-deployed engineers own the rest: architecture, judgment, and cutover, on dates we commit to in the contract.

This is the sharp end of our Application & Database Modernization pillar. Enterprise customers are moving off Oracle and SQL Server license renewals coming due, stored-procedure layers nobody fully understands onto PostgreSQL and Aurora PostgreSQL. You'll own those heterogeneous migrations end to end: run the AWS DMS and SCT toolchain, then do the part the tools can't rebuild procedural business logic in PL/pgSQL when SCT flags a gap it can't close on its own. You ship the runbook, you run the cutover, you validate the result. When the migration lands, it's yours.

What you'll do?

- Lead end-to-end database migration initiatives: assessment, planning, schema conversion, execution, and post-migration validation.
- Design, configure, and manage AWS DMS and SCT environments and own migration quality, performance, and reliability.
- Author the migration runbooks the cutover lives or dies by: execution procedures, validation checkpoints, rollback plans, operational readiness.
- Perform migration assessments, dependency analysis, compatibility reviews, and migration strategy recommendations.
- Work with infrastructure, application, security, and platform teams to land migration outcomes.
- Drive migration testing: functional validation, performance testing, failover testing, production readiness reviews.
- Provide technical leadership to migration teams and hold the line on AWS migration best practices and governance standards.
- Lead conversion and refactoring of procedural database code Oracle PL/SQL (packages, procedures, functions, triggers, cursors) and SQL Server T-SQL (stored procedures, functions, triggers) into PostgreSQL/Aurora PostgreSQL PL/pgSQL, resolving the semantic and behavioral differences SCT identifies.

What we're looking for?

- 8–12 years of professional experience in database architecture and migration delivery.
- Hands-on expertise in AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) and AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) for enterprise-scale database migrations.
- Deep proficiency in Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and Aurora PostgreSQL environments  migration planning, execution, and optimization.
- Proven background delivering heterogeneous database migrations across on-premises, cloud, and AWS environments.
- Knowledge of production database operations: backup and restore strategies, parameter tuning, performance optimization, failover testing.
- Skills authoring and executing migration runbooks, validation plans, cutover procedures, rollback strategies, and post-migration stabilization activities.
- Strong understanding of AWS database services, migration best practices, and integration with broader cloud migration programs.
- Experience engaging directly with enterprise customers, architecture teams, and migration stakeholders to drive delivery outcomes.
- Strong hands-on experience converting Oracle PL/SQL and SQL Server T-SQL business logic to PL/pgSQL — exception-handling models, cursor semantics, autonomous transactions, sequences/identity columns, implicit data type conversions, and proprietary built-in packages/functions with no native PostgreSQL equivalent.
- Ability to identify and remediate SCT action items and manual conversion gaps in procedural code (DBMS_* packages, UTL_* utilities, SQL Server system procedures, dynamic SQL, nested/recursive procedure calls) and validate converted logic through functional and regression testing.

You'll be preferred if

- You've tuned production database performance, backup and restore strategy, and failover testing in high-stakes environments.
- You've led migration teams or mentored engineers through complex conversions.
- You bring experience with broader AWS cloud migration programs beyond the database layer.

## How we work

Aedeon absorbs the discovery, mapping, and validation grind the 60–70% of hours a traditional consulting engagement of equivalent scope staffs for. Your hours go where the tools stop: conversion judgment, cutover strategy, and the procedural-code gaps only an engineer can close. We commit to fixed delivery dates and absorb the overage cost for delays inside our control, so the runbook you write and the cutover you run carry real weight. You embed with the customer's team and own the outcome not a workstream, the outcome.

## About Mactores

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Mactores is an agent-native AWS modernization firm that delivers data platform, application, and AI agent projects for enterprise customers using a proprietary agent platform (Aedeon) and forward-deployed engineers.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Privately Held, no disclosed funding rounds)
- **Headquarters**: Bellevue, Washington, United States
- **Founded**: 2008
- **Founders**: Bal Heroor (CEO) and Nandan Umarji (COO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Cloud consulting & modernization / IT services (specializing in AWS, data platforms, and AI agents)
- **Target customers**: Fortune 500 companies, high-growth software teams (B2B enterprise)
- **Mission or purpose**: “Build the firm that builds the AI era.” Deliver modernizations that “compound for years, finished in weeks instead of quarters.”

## Products & Services
- **Aedeon Agent Platform**: Proprietary internal platform that absorbs 60–70% of engagement work (discovery, mapping, validation, cutover instrumentation), replacing the traditional consulting pyramid.
- **Data Platform Modernization**: Modernize data foundations to enable AI readiness, completed in weeks rather than quarters.
- **Application & Database Modernization**: Migrate and refactor legacy apps and databases to AWS-native architectures.
- **AI Agents for Apps**: Deploy production-grade AI agents for real operations (customer support, claims processing, real-time decision grids).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metrics**:
  - Annual Revenue: $5M (per LinkedIn, though company website states “200+ AWS-certified engineers” suggesting a larger scale)
  - Headcount: Conflicting reports – LinkedIn lists 65 employees (with +5.4% YoY growth), while the company website claims “200+ AWS-certified engineers.” Actual headcount likely higher than 65.
  - 7 AWS Consulting Competencies, 17 AWS Service Validations, Agentic AI Specialization, AWS Premier Tier Services Partner.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: No external investors disclosed. Key partners include AWS (Premier Tier Partner) and customers such as Safaricom, Synaptics, Flipboard, Poshmark, Seagate, HP, Adani, DocuSign, KlearTrust, Tilia, Sterne Kessler, and Total Expert.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount growth of +5.4% YoY (per LinkedIn), active job postings (+33.3% month-over-month), and expansion into AI agent delivery with Aedeon platform.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Agent-native delivery model**: Aedeon replaces the junior-heavy pyramid by automating 60–70% of engagement hours, allowing a lean team of senior forward-deployed engineers to own architecture and cutover directly.
- **Fixed-date, fixed-fee contracts**: Engagements close on customer-signed acceptance, not status reviews, reducing risk for clients.
- **Deep AWS credentials**: One of the first specialist AWS adoption practices, with Premier Tier Partner status, 7 competencies, and 200+ AWS-certified engineers – a credential set that procurement teams trust.

## Strategic Focus
- Scale the agent-native model across more enterprise engagements.
- Deepen specialization in Generative AI and Agentic AI on AWS.
- Continue to invest in Aedeon, the internal agent platform, to further reduce delivery hours and enable faster modernization cycles.
- Expand headcount with senior engineers who can operate as delivery owners.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Pragmatic, principle-driven environment (“Ten Core Leadership Principles”). Everyone is expected to get in the trenches; top-down teamwork and ownership are emphasized.
- **Work/Life Balance**: Scrum-based planning with day, week, sprint, and quarterly goals. Proactive communication prevents last-minute confusion. Time off is encouraged.
- **Learning & Development**: 20% of every Mactorian’s time is dedicated to learning new technologies. AWS certifications are fully funded and treated as staffing-quality investments.
- **Role Clarity**: Engineers are not placed on a pyramid under a thin senior layer. Every Mactores forward-deployed engineer is a senior delivery owner who personally signs off on production cutovers.
- **Remote/Hybrid**: Mixed – some roles are fully remote (e.g., Channel Partner Manager, Technical Content Writer), while others (e.g., Business Development Representative in Mumbai) are hybrid. Open roles listed on Lever.
- **Notable Perks**: Permanent learning time, career progression tied to principles and delivery outcomes.
