About The Position

The Jira Cloud Migration & Agile Tools Engineer is the hands-on implementer and subject matter expert for a high-visibility migration from Jira Data Center to Jira Cloud at a Federal Agency. The role owns the tools supporting portfolio-, program-, and team-level delivery, including shaping the target Jira Cloud configuration, establishing Jira Align, and making delivery results visible to leadership through Power BI, Power Apps, and SharePoint. It is an Atlassian expert role focused on the migration rather than a ticket-closing administrative position. The engineer supports the migration from planning through execution, testing, validation, cutover, and post-migration stabilization. The role also configures Jira Cloud and Jira Align, validates integrations with Confluence and ServiceNow, builds reporting and agency applications and sites, documents solutions, and provides knowledge transfer and guidance to agency staff and Product Teams.
