Position Summary
SkillNet is seeking a Jira Consultant to support migration of custom integrations and automation from our current Jira setup to Jira Cloud. Work is DevOps-heavy: assess, redesign where needed, migrate, test, and cut over integrations that depend on Jira (APIs, webhooks, apps, CI/CD, internal tools).
Minimum Experience: 6+ years
Must-have skills
- Jira Cloud vs. Server/Data Center differences — what breaks or changes in Cloud (APIs, permissions, apps, webhooks, automation).
- Jira REST API v2/v3 — authentication (API tokens, OAuth where applicable), pagination, rate limits, migration of scripts/cron jobs that call Jira.
- Webhooks & automation — mapping Server automation (e.g. listeners, ScriptRunner, post-functions) to Jira Cloud automation, Forge/Connect app constraints, or external orchestration.
- CI/CD & tooling — updating pipelines, secrets, and config that reference Jira URLs, credentials, or issue keys (e.g. GitHub/GitLab/Jenkins/Azure DevOps + Jira).
- Identity & access — SSO/Atlassian Access concepts, service accounts, scoped tokens, least-privilege for integrations.
- Migration planning — runbooks, dry runs, rollback thinking, communication with app owners, and evidence-based testing (not just “smoke test one ticket”).
- Hands-on participation in at least one Jira Server/DC → Cloud (or major Cloud consolidation) project.
- ScriptRunner, Automation for Jira, or similar — knowing what cannot move 1:1 to Cloud and how to replace it.
- Observability — logging/monitoring for integration jobs after cutover.
