Role: AWS DevOps Harness Engineer
Location: Lebanon, NJ (4 days Onsite)
Duration: Long Term
Job Title - AWS DevOps w/ Harness
- 9 to 14+ years of overall experience in Infrastructure and Cloud services
- 9+ years of DevOps and CI/CD experience
- 2+ years of Harness tool experience
Key Responsibilities (Migration Factory Scope)
1) 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).
2) 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.
3) 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:
o shared libraries templates/steps/stage templates
o Jenkins agents delegates + build infrastructure model
o credentials connectors + secrets manager
4) 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.
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.
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.
Validation & Cutover Discipline - 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.
