Project Overview:
General tasks are to work as part of the migration team on a daily basis supporting migrations and operations / engineering tasks supporting the QIP and Bluecat environment through transition. Must work well in a team format. This resource will work with other supporting teams as well as business application owners as part of this work effort.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support migration, engineering, and operations work in the QIP and BlueCat environments throughout the transition.
- Run multi-pass migrations: export QIP data, write transformation scripts, and clean up orphaned records, inconsistent TTLs, overlapping IP blocks, and misconfigured DHCP options before import.
- Map QIP objects and custom properties to BlueCat’s object hierarchy and User-Defined Fields, then run bulk imports and validate the import logs.
- Manage DNS coexistence and query routing during the transition using BlueCat Edge or BIND forwarding rules, while keeping lookups to the legacy system working.
- Migrate DHCP scopes without IP conflicts by shortening legacy lease times before cutover and managing active lease hand-offs.
- Design and validate rollback and failback plans for each phased site cutover.
- Inventory custom QIP REST/SOAP integrations and rewrite them against BlueCat’s REST v2 API.
- Integrate BlueCat with Ansible, Terraform, and ServiceNow so automated provisioning keeps working after migration.
- Coordinate with supporting infrastructure teams and application owners.
Required Skills and Experience:
Mandatory:
- Senior-level DDI experience, with strong knowledge of QIP internals (objects, subnets, profiles, and its Sybase/Oracle database) and how it differs from native BIND.
- Strong knowledge of BlueCat Address Manager and BlueCat DNS/DHCP Server, including Configurations, Blocks, Subnets, Devices, and User-Defined Fields.
- Experience running stepped (multi-pass) data migrations, including data normalization and high-volume bulk imports.
- DNS coexistence and query routing during a dual-platform transition.
- DHCP lease migration strategy and rollback/failback planning.
- Advanced DNS: views, dynamic DNS across legacy and new servers, DNSSEC, and traffic monitoring.
- Scripting in Python, Bash, or PowerShell for data checks and delta merges.
- Linux appliance administration and BlueCat service deployment roles.
- Works well in a team and with application owners.
Nice to Have:
- API mapping from QIP to BlueCat: rewriting custom QIP REST/SOAP endpoints for BlueCat REST v2.
- DevOps and ITSM integration experience with Ansible, Terraform, and ServiceNow.
- Hybrid and multi-cloud DNS (AWS Route 53, Azure DNS), including avoiding IP overlap and forwarding sprawl.
- Prior large financial-services enterprise experience.
