Role description
We are seeking a skilled Atlassian Cloud Migration Engineer to perform hands-on technical execution across a complex, multi-instance Data Center to Cloud migration involving Jira Software, Jira Service Management (JSM), and Confluence. The candidate will be responsible for the direct technical work of the migration (configuring, scripting, testing, and validating) working as part of a structured migration team under the direction of a Migration Lead.
Key Responsibilities
Execute migration tasks using Atlassian migration tooling including JCMA (Jira Cloud Migration Assistant) and CCMA (Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant)
Perform application-level migration work including automated migrations, manual configurations, and post-migration validation
Rewrite and refactor ScriptRunner Groovy scripts, JQL filters, workflow conditions, validators, and post functions for compatibility with the Jira Cloud API model
Recreate JSU and JMWE workflow automation logic in Jira Cloud-native equivalents including Automation for Jira and ScriptRunner Cloud
Execute user and group cleanup tasks including deduplication, invalid email remediation, and license rationalization across multi-domain user directories
May need to perform hands-on configuration of Atlassian Guard / Atlassian Access for SSO, SCIM provisioning, and identity policies
Reconfigure integrations post-migration including webhooks, mail handlers, application links, and third-party connections such as Exalate and ServiceNow
Support archiving activities for Jira projects, Confluence spaces, dashboards, and filters
Install, configure, and validate Marketplace apps in the cloud environment pre- and post-migration
Participate in UAT execution and staging environment setup, identifying and resolving issues surfaced during testing
Perform post-migration hypercare tasks including manual app configurations, permission scheme corrections, and issue resolution
Required Skills & Experience
Minimum of seven years hands-on experience executing Atlassian Data Center to Cloud migrations
Minimum of two years as a client facing consultant
Technical proficiency across Jira Software, Jira Service Management, and Confluence — both Data Center and Cloud
Practical experience with JCMA and CCMA tooling
Strong ScriptRunner experience (Data Center and Cloud editions), including writing and refactoring Groovy scripts and JQL functions
Working knowledge of workflow automation tools including JSU, JMWE, and Automation for Jira
Experience performing user directory reconciliation and cleanup in large, multi-domain Atlassian environments
Familiarity with Atlassian Guard / Atlassian Access configuration including SAML/OIDC SSO and SCIM
Experience reconfiguring integrations such as webhooks, Exalate sync rules, and mail handlers in a cloud environment
Solid understanding of Jira permission schemes, project roles, workflows, and custom field configuration
Ability to work independently on assigned technical tasks and communicate progress clearly to a lead or project manager
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with test management tools such as Zephyr Squad/Essentials
Familiarity with reporting tool migrations and cloud alternatives (e.g., replacing Dataplane Reports with Atlassian Analytics or Dashboard Hub)
Experience in environments involving large user populations, high app counts, and significant custom configuration
Atlassian certification(s) an asset.
