However the focus here is that the candidate's experience and knowledge is on the Front End, especially when it comes to the Cloud Migration cause that entire infrastructure would be owned by Atlassian.

Experience with Custom Charts and/or Xray plugins would be a bonus.

Experience migrating from a Data Center to the Cloud (Atlassian Cloud is the future, and they do have a path to the Cloud in the next year or so, so they want to make sure that this individual, if they have experience with true migration to the cloud, that is knowledge they don't presently have on the team and it would be good to have that.
