Job description

Senior DevOps Migration Engineer (Azure DevOps & GitHub) – Sopra Steria

Seniority level : Mid‑Senior level. Employment type : Full‑time. Job function : Engineering and Information Technology. Industries : IT Services and IT Consulting.

Sopra Steria is a European leader in consulting, digital services, and software development, supporting its clients in their digital transformation through innovative and collaborative solutions. With 50,000 employees in nearly 30 countries and a revenue of €5.1 billion in 2022, we are committed to achieving sustainable results and placing people at the heart of technology.

Job Description

You will lead end-to-end migrations from complex DevSecOps environments (e.g., IBM ELM / DOORS NG, GitLab, TFS / Jenkins, SmartBear) to Azure DevOps and GitHub. The role focuses on ensuring data integrity, full traceability, and a seamless cutover at scale. You’ll automate where it matters most, establish governance and security controls, and guide engineering workstreams through assessment, pilot, rollout, and stabilization phases.

Responsibilities

  • Design and execute migration strategies for repositories, work items, pipelines, test assets, and artifacts, including validation, rollback plans, and evidence capture.
  • Build automation scripts and pipelines for repository history transfers, work item imports, and CI / CD conversions (Jenkins / TFS → Azure Pipelines / GitHub Actions), incorporating secret management and approval workflows.
  • Maintain traceability across requirements, tests, commits, builds, and releases, aligned with aviation and regulatory standards (e.g., DO‑278 / ED‑109A), supported by audit‑ready logs.
  • Implement identity and security models such as SSO and RBAC across Azure DevOps, GitHub, and artifact ecosystems (e.g., JFrog), and enforce code scanning and secret scanning policies.
  • Coordinate multi‑team migrations in parallel waves, baseline KPIs, eliminate bottlenecks, and optimize pipeline templates for efficiency.
  • Collaborate with platform, security, PMO, and business teams to communicate risks, trade‑offs (ADO vs GitHub), and deliver clear cutover plans.

Qualifications

  • Strong sense of ownership and pragmatism, excellent communication skills, ability to coach teams, and sound judgment in deciding between Azure DevOps and GitHub for specific use cases.
  • Proven experience executing migrations from GitLab, TFS, or Jenkins to GitHub and Azure DevOps, including automation artifacts such as scripts and pipelines with integrity checks.
  • Deep knowledge of Azure Pipelines and / or GitHub Actions, including YAML templates, environments, approvals, gates, and reusable components.
  • Hands‑on experience with work item and requirements migration, mapping to Azure Boards while managing constraints and third‑party tooling considerations.
  • Strong understanding of security and compliance in regulated environments, including evidence capture, four‑eyes reviews, and embedded change approvals in pipelines.
  • Expertise in governance practices such as organizational structuring, project and team setup, permissioning, repository strategies (monorepo vs multi), and branch / PR policies.
  • Preferred Experience

  • Background in leading multi‑team (10–15 teams) or multi‑application migration programs.
  • Knowledge of artifact strategies, package feeds, provenance, and SBOMs, with experience using JFrog / Artifactory.
  • Relevant certifications such as AZ‑400, GitHub Administration, GitHub Actions, or security foundations.
  • Benefits

  • Competitive salary and annual performance bonus.
  • Comprehensive benefits package : life insurance, long‑term disability, health care, dental, vision, and a health spending account (Sopra Steria covers 100% of premiums).
  • Paid time off : sick leave, personal days, and 3 weeks of vacation.
  • Monthly transportation allowance.
  • Excellent training, development, and career advancement opportunities, with active support to strengthen your skills in a caring, collaborative, and inclusive company culture.
  • Hybrid work environment.
  • Provided equipment to ensure optimal productivity.
  • Sopra Steria is certified as a "Great Place to Work".
  • Sopra Steria is an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive work environment. We thank all applicants for their interest in this position. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for the next steps in the selection process.
