Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # AWS DevOps Harness Engineer - **Company:** NJTECH INC. - **Location:** Lebanon, NJ, United States - **Experience:** Experienced - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Software Quality, Continuous Integration, DevOps, Groovy, Key Management, Cloud Services, Systems Integration, Toolchain, Management of Software Versions, YAML, Kubernetes, Code Restructuring, Jenkins - **Published:** June 18, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.dice.com/job-detail/258a8ae9-5845-406b-979e-7013870e853d ## About the Role * 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. ## 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. ## Related Videos - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) - [CI/CD with Github Actions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/856-ci-cd-with-github-actions) - [Give your build some love, it will give it back!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/514-give-your-build-some-love-it-will-give-it-back) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [AI-Native Enterprise Platforms: Interpreting Logic, Not Compiling Code](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1975-ai-native-enterprise-platforms-interpreting-logic-not-compiling-code) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai) - [Top 6 Hackathons for Developers in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/263-top-6-hackathons-for-developers-in-2023)
