  • Author production cutover runbooks, rollback procedures, communication plans, and on-call rotations. Execute zero-data-loss cutovers.

  • 6+ years implementing DevOps pipelines and administering toolsets in AWS environments.
  • Hands-on Atlassian migrations from Jira/Confluence Data Center to Cloud/AGC using JCMA and CCMA, including Marketplace app path evaluations.
  • Familiarity with FedRAMP Moderate/High, Atlassian Access/Guard, SAML/SSO, and AGC architecture.
  • Proficiency with CloudBees Jenkins, GitHub Enterprise, SonarQube, JFrog Artifactory, and security scanning tooling.
  • Strong AWS knowledge across EC2, VPC, serverless services, IAM, and CloudFormation.
  • Strong Linux administration with proficiency in Bash and Python scripting and Infrastructure as Code.
  • Ability to support full migration lifecycle from discovery and planning through testing and delivery, with readiness to support broader DevSecOps initiatives post-migration.
