Senior DevOps Engineer OpenSource

Your Mission

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will play a key role in our client's IT transformation, supporting the migration from the existing Atlassian suite (Jira, Jira Service Management and Confluence) to an open-source ecosystem (Zammad, OpenProject and XWiki) deployed on Red Hat OpenShift.

You will ensure operational continuity while developing the integrations, automation tools and workflows required for a successful migration. Your responsibilities will include maintaining the existing Atlassian environment, customizing Zammad forms, managing API gateways and deploying secure, scalable applications within OpenShift.

You will also contribute to infrastructure automation, CI/CD pipelines, platform monitoring and operational support throughout the migration lifecycle.
