Description

Job Details: Job Description: We are seeking an experienced Software Engineer with strong Python development skills and a passion for DevOps to maintain and enhance a robust data synchronization script. This script transforms and migrates data from HSD-ES to Jira Cloud, routing issues to appropriate Jira projects based on key data attributes. The script is already architected, and your focus will be on development, maintenance, and operations. The ideal candidate will ensure the script is easily re-runnable on demand, requiring only parameter changes, and will manage CI/CD pipelines in our GitHub repository. A crucial aspect of this role is performing data analysis and testing for edge cases, especially regarding character count limitations, as HSD-ES fields typically support larger text sizes than Jira fields. Key Responsibilities Development & Enhancement Develop, maintain, and enhance a Python-based sync script for data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) from HSD-ES to Jira Cloud. Implement and maintain logic to route Jira issues to different projects according to specified data keys. Ensure the script remains modular, parameter-driven, and can be re-executed with minimal manual intervention. Data Analysis & Testing Analyze HSD-ES and Jira Cloud data models to identify and address differences in field types, especially character count limits. Design and execute comprehensive test cases to handle edge cases, such as truncation, data loss, or format mismatches. Proactively identify and resolve data mapping issues and ensure robust error handling. DevOps & CI/CD Set up and maintain continuous integration workflows in GitHub Actions (or similar) to automate testing, deployment, and monitoring of the sync script. Document and automate the script’s execution process to simplify handoff and maintenance. Collaboration & Documentation Collaborate with stakeholders to clarify data mapping and transformation requirements. Write clear, user-friendly documentation for running and configuring the script. Provide technical support and troubleshooting as needed. Qualifications: Technical Skills 3+ years of professional experience in Python development. Experience building and maintaining data transformation or ETL scripts. Familiarity with REST APIs, especially Jira Cloud’s API. Experience routing or dynamically assigning data based on key attributes. Strong skills in data analysis, edge case identification, and testing for data migrations. DevOps Experience Proficient with Git, GitHub, and managing CI/CD pipelines (preferably GitHub Actions). Understanding of deployment automation, logging, and monitoring practices. General Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Ability to work independently and manage time effectively. Nice-to-Have Experience with HSD-ES data structures or similar enterprise data sources. Familiarity with Jira administration or custom Jira integrations. Experience working in Agile environments.
