Job Description:

Join Sopra Steria Aeroline and become part of a forward-thinking team shaping the future of aerospace through digital innovation. You will lead end-to-end migrations from complex DevSecOps environments to Azure DevOps and GitHub, ensuring data integrity, full traceability, and a seamless cutover at scale. Responsibilities include migration strategies, automation, maintaining traceability, implementing security models, coordinating multi-team migrations, and collaborating with teams. Candidates should have experience in DevOps, migration programs, and related technologies.

Job Responsibility:

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.

Requirements:

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.

Nice to have:

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.

What we offer:

Competitive salary and annual performance bonus
comprehensive benefits package: life insurance, long-term disability, health care, dental, vision, and a health spending account to support your well-being (Sopra Steria covers 100% of premiums)
paid time off: sick leave, personal days, and 3 weeks of vacation
