Job Description

Job Summary:

As a DevOps Engineer focused on Perforce to GitHub migration, you will be responsible for executing seamless and large-scale source control migrations. You must be proficient with GitHub Enterprise and Perforce, possess strong scripting skills (Python/Shell), and have a deep understanding of version control concepts.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter, a problem-solver, and thrives on challenges while ensuring smooth transitions with minimal disruption to development workflows.

Key Responsibilities:

• Analyze and prepare Perforce repositories — clean workspaces, merge streams, and remove unnecessary files.
• Handle large files efficiently using Git Large File Storage (LFS) for files exceeding GitHub’s 100MB size limit.
• Use git-p4 fusion (Python-based tool) to clone and migrate Perforce repositories incrementally, ensuring data integrity.
• Define migration scope — determine how much history to migrate and plan the repository structure.
• Manage branch renaming and repository organization for optimized post-migration workflows.
• Collaborate with development teams to determine migration points and finalize migration strategies.
• Troubleshoot issues related to file sizes, Python compatibility, network connectivity, or permissions during migration.

Required Qualifications:

• Strong knowledge of Git/GitHub and preferably Perforce (Helix Core) — understanding of differences, workflows, and integrations.
• Hands-on experience with P4-Fusion.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Proficiency in migration tools such as git-p4 fusion — installation, configuration, and troubleshooting.
• Ability to identify and manage large files using Git LFS to meet GitHub repository size limits.
• Strong scripting skills in Python and Shell for automating migration and restructuring tasks.
• Experience in planning and executing source control migrations — defining scope, branch mapping, history retention, and permission translation.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipeline integration to validate workflows post-migration.
• Understanding of source code management (SCM) best practices, including version history and repository organization in GitHub.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills for cross-team coordination and migration planning.
• Proven practical experience in repository migration, large file management, and history preservation during Perforce to GitHub transitions.
