AWS DevOps Architect

Harness CI/CD DevOps Engineer (Migration Factory) executes wave-based, repeatable Jenkins Harness migrations using a factory operating model: Intake Convert Remediate Validate Cutover Stabilize, while driving standardization through golden templates, enterprise integrations (SCM/artifacts/secrets), and controlled legacy CI/CD decommissioning. Core Mission

• Industrialize CI/CD migration using waves, playbooks, reusable templates, and validation gates to reduce delivery risk and improve consistency

• Leverage Harness Jenkins Migrator to scan/analyze pipelines, convert Jenkins pipelines to Harness format, and consolidate into reusable templates (where applicable), reducing manual effort and operational risk.

• Deliver controlled cutovers and stabilization while enabling governance elements (approvals, evidence capture) and controlled Jenkins decommission actions.

Key Responsibilities (Migration Factory Scope)

1. Migration Intake, Inventory & Segmentation

• Perform Jenkins estate discovery: inventory pipelines/jobs, Jenkinsfiles, shared libraries, credentials usage, build agents, plugins; map dependencies and owners.

• Classify pipelines into complexity buckets (e.g., Quick Win/Simple, Standard/Medium, Complex) and build wave backlogs for migration execution.

• Run migrator assessment to produce a conversion readiness report and list of unsupported patterns (to drive remediation plan).

2. Platform Foundation for Migration

• Implement hands-on readiness required for factory execution: validate network allowlists/proxy/firewall, and ensure delegates/runners are deployed and healthy in target environments.

• Configure and validate connectors for SCM, artifact repositories/registries, cloud/K8s targets, and secret stores (Vault / secrets integration where applicable).

• Establish/maintain operational runbooks for delegate installation, access troubleshooting, and credential rotation.

3. Convert + Standardize via Golden Templates

• Use Harness Jenkins Migrator for bulk conversion and initial YAML generation where applicable.

• Refactor conversions to adopt golden templates (build/test/package/scan/deploy/notify patterns) and replace ad-hoc logic with reusable templates/modules.

• Translate Jenkins constructs into Harness equivalents:

o shared libraries templates/steps/stage templates o Jenkins agents delegates + build infrastructure model o credentials connectors + secrets manager 4) Remediate Gaps

• Replace unsupported Jenkins plugins / Groovy patterns with Harness-native steps or agreed scripts, and convert shared-library logic into reusable templates/modules.

• Integrate required enterprise toolchain hooks (e.g., artifact management, code quality gates, smoke tests), aligned to app team inputs.

5. Validate Shadow Mode & Parity Checks

• Execute parallel runs (Jenkins + Harness) for validation; compare outputs (artifacts, test reports, scan outputs) and complete acceptance testing checkpoints.

• Produce a validation evidence package (shadow run results + parity checks) to support cutover readiness a nd audit needs.

6. Cutover & Stabilize (Hypercare within the factory cycle)

• Execute cutover by switching triggers/webhooks/notifications to Harness and keeping Jenkins as rollback for a defined period when required by the plan.

• Stabilize builds by monitoring failures, tuning caching, adjusting runner sizing, and addressing recurring pipeline issues; capture improvements back into templates/playbooks.

• Run wave retrospectives to update templates, playbooks, and known-issues guidance for the next wave.

7. Controlled Jenkins Decommission (Factory Exit)

• Support controlled Jenkins reduction activities as defined by the migration plan:

o Freeze new pipeline creation in Jenkins (new work lands in Harness) o Progressive shutdown (disable triggers jobs agents; keep read-only for audit retention) o Plugin & credential cleanup (remove unused creds, rotate secrets, lock down access) o Archive evidence (export build history/logs as required) o Terminate Jenkins infrastructure and reclaim resources Factory Delivery Model Alignment (Pods & Interfaces)

• Work within a pod-based migration factory model that includes:

o Platform Pod: templates, delegate strategy/connectors, enterprise integration, org/account governance, policy enforcement, service catalog enablement o Migration Pod: Jenkins inventory & dependency analysis, wave planning, pipeline migration/validation, cutover support, runbooks/handover, hypercare, and decommission support
