Description

Key Responsibilities (Migration Factory Scope) • 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). • Establish/maintain operational runbooks for delegate installation, access troubleshooting, and credential rotation. • 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 • Replace unsupported Jenkins plugins / Groovy patterns with Harness-native steps or agreed scripts, and convert shared-library logic into reusable templates/modules. • 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. • 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 Terminate Jenkins infrastructure and reclaim resources Factory Delivery Model Alignment (Pods & Interfaces) • Work within a pod-based migration factory model that includes: Required Skills Harness CI/CD Execution • 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. • 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. Deliverables (Expected Outputs) • Jenkins inventory + complexity segmentation + “unsupported patterns” list and wave plan inputs. End-to-end design of: • CI pipelines (build/test) • CD pipelines (deploy/approve/release) • Ability to define enterprise pipeline standards Strong expertise in: • Harness CI + CD modules • Pipeline templates, RBAC, delegates • Policy as Code & approvals Define: • “Golden” pipeline templates • Naming, branching, approvals, security gates • Enforce consistency across apps Strong integration experience with: • GitHub / GitLab (SCM) • Artifact repo (JFrog/Nexus) • Container registry • ITSM (ServiceNow) Hands-on with: • EKS/Kubernetes • Harness Experience with: • Secrets management (Vault / AWS Secrets / CyberArk) • SAST / DAST / vulnerability scanning • Handle plugins, shared libraries, dependencies Strong in: • Terraform (mandatory) • Enable infra provisioning as part of pipeline Build: • Reusable pipeline templates • Automation playbooks • Self-service CI/CD frameworks Optimize: • Build times • Pipeline efficiency Expertise in: • “Build once, deploy everywhere” • Artifact promotion across environments Debug: • Pipeline failures • Deployment issues • Integration gaps Skills: AWS DevOps and Automation
