Key Responsibilities
- Execute migration of repositories and CI/CD pipelines from Azure DevOps and Bitbucket to GitHub and GitHub Actions.
- Build migration waves and prioritize workloads based on criticality, complexity, and business impact.
- Create reusable workflow templates and standardized CI/CD patterns for broad engineering adoption.
- Implement deployment promotion controls across DEV, SIT, UAT, and Production.
- Integrate SonarQube, Veracode, and Prisma scans into build and release workflows.
- Integrate and enforce ServiceNow production release gating, approvals, and audit traceability.
- Integrate and enforce JIRA SDLC release gating, approvals, and audit traceability.
- Troubleshoot migration and pipeline issues, optimize reliability, and support cutover/hypercare activities.
- Produce documentation, runbooks, and handover materials, support enablement of internal teams.
- Report progress, risks, and dependencies to engineering and management stakeholders.
