Job description

1) Migration Intake, Inventory & Segmentation

  • Perform Jenkins estate discovery: inventory pipelines/jobs, Jenkins files, 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.

Requirements

  • 9 to 14+ years of overall experience in Infrastructure and Cloud services
  • 9+ years of DevOps and CI/CD experience
  • 2+ years of Harness tool experience, Harness CI/CD Execution
  • Hands-on ability to build and migrate CI/CD pipelines and enforce reuse through templates and versioning.
  • Experience deploying and operating delegates/runners and troubleshooting connectivity/toolchain access. Migration Engineering (Jenkins Harness)

  • Strong experience analyzing Jenkins pipelines (Jenkins-files, shared libraries, agents, plugins, credentials) and translating them to Harness equivalents.
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted conversion using Harness Jenkins Migrator and handling unsupported patterns through remediation/refactoring. Validation & Cutover Discipline

  • Experience with parallel/shadow runs, artifact/output comparison, readiness checkpoints, and cutover + stabilization practices. Enterprise Integrations & Secrets

  • Integrations with SCM, artifact repositories/registries, secrets management, and environment targets (e.g., Kubernetes/cloud) using connectors and least-privilege principles.
