## About the Role

We are looking for an experienced migration specialist to move a client's project tracking from ZenHub (on GitHub) to Jira Cloud. You must have done a ZenHub-to-Jira Cloud migration before. You'll own the whole move: mapping the data, writing the automation, checking that everything came across, and cutting over, with little ramp-up time., * Has done this before: hands-on experience migrating ZenHub projects to Jira Cloud. We need someone who has already delivered this, not someone learning it on the engagement.

 * Strong knowledge of the ZenHub API (GraphQL and REST) and the GitHub API (REST and GraphQL).
 * Strong knowledge of the Jira Cloud REST APIs and Jira MCP integrations.
 * Advanced Python skills for scripting and automation.
 * Comfortable using GitHub Copilot in day-to-day development.
 * Solid understanding of Jira Cloud setup: schemes, workflows, custom fields and permissions.
 * Able to work independently and explain technical trade-offs clearly to client stakeholders.

Nice to Have

 * Experience with other Atlassian Cloud migrations or with the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant.
 * Familiarity with Jira automation rules or ScriptRunner for Cloud.
 * Experience connecting Jira with GitHub.

## Description

* Assess the current ZenHub and GitHub setup: workspaces, repos, epics, issues, estimates, releases, pipelines and dependencies.
 * Design how that data maps onto Jira Cloud projects, issue types, workflows, custom fields, boards and sprints.
 * Build Python scripts that pull data from the ZenHub and GitHub APIs and load it into Jira Cloud.
 * Use the Jira Cloud REST APIs and MCP integrations to create issues and links in bulk, update them, and check the results.
 * Use GitHub Copilot to speed up writing, testing and refactoring the migration scripts.
 * Keep history, links between issues, comments, attachments, labels and assignees intact wherever the platforms allow.
 * Run trial migrations, reconcile the counts, fix problems and carry out the final cutover.
 * Document the process, the mapping and any known limitations, and hand them over to the client.
