You will be:

• migrating Azure DevOps repositories to GitHub,
• migrating Azure DevOps pipelines to GitHub Actions workflows,
• supporting repository migrations between GitHub Enterprise Server and GitHub Enterprise Cloud,
• migrating and remediating GitHub Actions workflows,
• troubleshooting workflow failures and resolving migration-related issues,
• optimizing GitHub Actions workflows to ensure reliable and efficient CI/CD,
• validating migrated repositories and workflows together with engineering teams,
• working closely with development teams to identify and resolve technical issues,
• supporting teams during the transition from Azure DevOps to GitHub,
• contributing to GitHub repository administration and migration activities,
• documenting migration processes, issues, and solutions,
• ensuring migrated repositories and workflows follow established GitHub and CI/CD best practices,

Your profile:

• strong hands-on experience with Git and GitHub,
• practical experience with GitHub Actions and workflow development,
• proven experience migrating repositories to GitHub,
• experience working with GitHub Enterprise Server (GHES) and/or GitHub Enterprise Cloud (GHEC),
• experience with Azure DevOps repositories and pipelines,
• understanding of CI/CD concepts and modern software delivery practices,
• ability to troubleshoot and remediate GitHub Actions workflow issues,
• experience validating CI/CD workflows with development or engineering teams,
• strong problem-solving skills and a practical approach to resolving migration issues,
• good communication skills and ability to work directly with technical teams,
• ability to work independently while coordinating with multiple teams,
• experience with large-scale repository or CI/CD migration projects is highly beneficial,

• Practical experience using AI-powered assistants (e.g. Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to improve productivity, quality, or decision-making in software delivery.

• Work from the European Union region and a work permit are required.

Nice to have:

• experience with Azure DevOps to GitHub migration projects,
• experience administering GitHub Enterprise environments,
• experience optimizing complex GitHub Actions workflows,
• familiarity with GitHub repository governance and enterprise best practices,
• experience troubleshooting CI/CD issues across different development environments,
• experience working in large enterprise organizations or regulated environments,

• Experience applying GenAI in a more structured way within the SDLC, including defined workflows, prompt patterns, or tool integrations embedded into daily work.

• Interest in and familiarity with emerging AI-driven practices (e.g. agent-based workflows, automation patterns, AI-augmented development), with a willingness to explore and experiment beyond standard approaches.
