AWS DevOps Architect

Must Have Technical/Functional Skills
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
