We are not sure how the AB 109 will factor in on your transfer success. The basic idea behind realignment AB 109 is to punish low-level felony offenders with local jail or out-of-custody "mandatory supervision" instead of prison. Because jails and probation departments are run at the county level, the law thus shifts from the state to the local level responsibility for dealing with certain felons.
Having a job that is verified and legitimate is one of the prevailing factors (above all in some cases). We would suggest that you start by getting the employment offer in writing and notify the person giving the job they might need to be available when called by a probation officer. The other angle is family. If you can document a strong family support group as the reason to move, suggest that the move to a "safe haven" will give you the best chance of never going back to prison.
