Key Responsibilities

• Execute migration of repositories and CI/CD pipelines from Azure DevOps and Bitbucket to GitHub and GitHub Actions.
• Build migration waves and prioritize workloads based on criticality, complexity, and business impact.
• Create reusable workflow templates and standardized CI/CD patterns for broad engineering adoption.
• Implement deployment promotion controls across DEV, SIT, UAT, and Production.
• Integrate SonarQube, Veracode, and Prisma scans into build and release workflows.
• Integrate and enforce ServiceNow production release gating, approvals, and audit traceability.
• Integrate and enforce JIRA SDLC release gating, approvals, and audit traceability.
• Troubleshoot migration and pipeline issues, optimize reliability, and support cutover/hypercare activities.
• Produce documentation, runbooks, and handover materials, support enablement of internal teams.
• Report progress, risks, and dependencies to engineering and management stakeholders.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent relevant experience.
• Minimum 5 years in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or CI/CD engineering, with at least 2 years in enterprise migration/transformation programs.
• Proven hands-on delivery of large CI/CD migration initiatives, preferably with 200+ pipelines (500+ strongly preferred).
