Enterprise experience strongly preferred. Key Responsibilities - Migrate a defined portfolio of existing service accounts to GitLab native service accounts, one account at a time. - Rotate or replace credentials and tokens as each automation identity is cut over. - Securely decommission old credentials and access after successful validation. - Update permissions and group/project access for migrated automation identities. - Diagnose and resolve CI/CD or automation failures caused by credential, token, permission, or identity changes. - Coordinate migration timing, validation, and follow-up with the teams that own the affected automation. - Support secure, reliable completion of a time-bounded access-remediation initiative.

Nice-to-Have Skills - Experience with identity and access migrations. - Experience with secrets hygiene or credential-exposure remediation. - Experience executing repetitive operational work accurately across many similar accounts or tickets. - Prior service-account migrations, permission replication, or token cutovers in GitLab or a similar source-control platform. - Ability to untangle unclear ownership and drive follow-up across multiple teams.
