Description

We are looking for an Applications Architect to join a Contract assignment. In this role, you will help establish modern source control and DevOps environments while guiding application migration efforts for a complex enterprise setting. The position requires close partnership with engineering, infrastructure, and delivery teams to create scalable configurations, support migration planning, and ensure successful platform readiness.

Responsibilities:

Architect and configure new GitHub and Azure DevOps environments to support application delivery needs in a newly established operating landscape.

Design the future-state source control framework, including repository organization, permission structures, branch strategies, and key platform connections.

Lead migration activities for code, configuration assets, and associated project artifacts into newly created source control and DevOps instances.

Partner with product owners, platform engineers, infrastructure teams, and project stakeholders to align timelines, resolve dependencies, and drive readiness activities.

Produce clear technical documentation such as migration plans, execution procedures, validation steps, and cutover guidance for deployment teams.

Oversee testing and post-migration verification to confirm repositories, integrations, user access, and platform capabilities perform as intended.

Identify delivery risks, escalation items, and technical blockers early, and recommend practical solutions to keep migration work on track.

Requirements

Proven hands-on experience working with GitHub and Azure DevOps in enterprise software delivery environments.
Background in building, configuring, or transitioning source control platforms, repositories, permission models, and related DevOps components.
Familiarity with GitHub Actions and package management capabilities within modern development workflows.
Solid understanding of application migration practices, source code movement, CI/CD dependencies, and cutover preparation.
Ability to convert legacy platform needs into practical architectural designs and implementation plans for target environments.
Experience creating technical documentation such as runbooks, migration playbooks, validation checklists, and design artifacts.
Strong collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across application teams, infrastructure groups, and program leadership.
Knowledge of application architecture, API development, and technologies such as .NET, ASP.NET, and AWS is preferred.
