Job Title: DevOps Architect

Location : Lebanon NJ (On-site from day 1)

Duration : Full Time permanent Position

Job Description

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.

Key Responsibilities (Migration Factory Scope)

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).

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.

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

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.

Validate Shadow Mode & Parity Checks

Execute parallel runs (Jenkins Harness) for validation to compare outputs of acceptance testing checkpoints.

Produce validation evidence package (shadow run results parity checks) to support cutover readiness and audit.

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.

Controlled Jenkins Decommission (Factory Exit)

Support controlled Jenkins reduction activities as defined by the migration plan:

Freeze new pipeline creation in Jenkins (new work lands in Harness)

Progressive shutdown (disable tri ggers jobs agents; keep read-only for audit retention)

Plugin & credential cleanup (remove unused creds rotate secrets lock down access)

Archive evidence (export build history/logs as required)

Terminate Jenkins infrastructure and reclaim resources

Factory Delivery Model Alignment (Pods & Interfaces)

Work within a pod-based migration factory model that includes:

Platform Pod: templates delegate strategy/connectors enterprise integration org/account governance policy enforcement service catalog enablement

Migration Pod: Jenkins inventory & dependency analysis wave planning pipeline migration/validation cutover support runbooks/handover hyper care and decommission support

Required Skills 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.

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.

Expertise on Enterprise Integrations & Secrets - integrations with SCM artifact repositories/registries secrets management and environment targets (e.g. Kubernetes/cloud) using connectors and least-privilege principles.

End-to-end design of CI pipelines (build/test) and CD pipelines (deploy/approve/release)

Ability to define enterprise pipeline standards with strong expertise in Harness CI CD modules Pipeline templates RBAC delegates and Policy as Code & approvals

Integration experience of GitHub/GitLab (SCM) Artifact repo (JFrog/Nexus) Container registry & ITSM (ServiceNow)

Hands-on with: EKS/Kubernetes Helm / deployment strategies (blue-green canary) Harness

Experience with: Secrets management (Vault / AWS Secrets / CyberArk) SAST / DAST / vulnerability scanning Handle plugins shared libraries dependencies

Strong in Terraform (mandatory)

Ability to enable infra provisioning as part of pipeline

Ability to Build: Reusable pipeline templates Automation playbooks Self-service CI/CD frameworks

Ability to Optimize: Build times Failure rates Pipeline efficiency

Expertise in: Build once deploy everywhere and Artifact promotion across environments

Ability to Debug: Pipeline failures Deployment issues and Integration gaps
