Full description
SAIC is currently seeking a Cloud DevOps Engineer Senior. This position will serve as a primary technical engineer leading the enterprise-wide migration of Atlassian Jira and Confluence instances from a managed Data Center environment to Cloud SaaS/Atlassian Government Cloud (AGC). Additionally, this role provides operational and maintenance support for the agency’s enterprise DevSecOps shared services pipeline and infrastructure hosted within Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The ideal candidate possesses deep hands-on expertise with Atlassian Cloud Migration Assistant tools, Atlassian Government Cloud (AGC) FedRAMP compliance, pipeline automation, CI/CD toolchain administration, and AWS Cloud infrastructure management.
Overview of Responsibilities:1. Atlassian Data Center to Cloud Migration (Primary Focus)
-
Pre-Migration Assessment: Execute the Cloud-to-AGC pre-migration checklist (C2AGC), evaluating site prerequisites, organization/site readiness, administrative access, and AGC-specific architectural constraints.
-
Inventory & Asset Mapping: Perform full audit and mapping of
-
Jira projects (50 + projects / ~25 K issues) and
-
Confluence spaces (40+ spaces / ~20k pages),
-
User accounts, security schemes, attachments, custom workflows, automation scripts, Marketplace apps, and custom API integrations.
-
Vendor & App Coordination: Assess Marketplace application compatibility in AGC, establish manual data migration strategies where automated paths are unavailable, and align vendor support windows for cutovers.
-
Test Cycles & UAT: Conduct at least two end-to-end test migration cycles onto the AGC test environment, coordinate User Acceptance Testing (UAT), log/triage defects, and optimize cutover execution timelines.
-
Runbook & Cutover Execution: Author detailed step-by-step production cutover runbooks, rollback/contingency procedures, communication templates, and on-call rosters. Execute live migration scripts during scheduled maintenance windows to ensure zero-data-loss go-live.
-
Post-Migration Hypercare: Provide immediate operational support post-cutover, remediate broken links/integrations, validate permissions, and finalize handover to standard operations.
2. Enterprise DevSecOps Pipeline & Tool Administration
-
Toolchain O&M: Administer, patch, and maintain the enterprise shared DevSecOps toolset hosted on Linux servers, including GitHub Enterprise Appliance, CloudBees Jenkins (Ops Center, controllers, agents), SonarQube, JFrog Artifactory, and Invicti.
