Solutions Engineer, Customer Support Services
Atlassian can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity, assuming candidates have eligible working rights and a sufficient timezone overlap with their team. As our offices re-open, Atlassians can choose to work remotely or return to an office, unless it's necessary for the role to be performed in the office. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.
As a Senior Customer Support Services Solutions Engineer, you will increase the effectiveness of customer-facing teams by keeping critical support systems healthy, facilitating change, and representing the service perspective within development and program delivery teams. Solutions Engineers are assigned to specific programs within CSS to become subject matter experts and provide guidance to multiple stakeholder groups. You will be a key translator between development and operations, and use your sharp technical skills to configure existing platforms and tools for front-line staff. You will troubleshoot and problem-solve to accelerate program delivery and keep CSS teams running smoothly, and create documentation, scripts, reports, patches, and anything else that is needed to get the job done.
There are five key responsibility areas for the role:
- System integration, troubleshooting, administration, and configuration including Atlassian products (Jira, Confluence, etc.), processing bugs and change requests, and building solutions in additional systems as needed (e.g. Workato, LaunchDarkly, AWS)
- User documentation, including documentation for Jira workflows, release notes, and post-launch documentation for new features
- Feature definition and requirements, including producing design artifacts and refining requirements to implementation level for development
- Subject matter expertise in support systems and operations, including guidance and feedback for major organization-level programs and initiatives; organizing and conducting UAT; and designing and executing experiments
- Triage of change requests and issues that are IT-dependent.
About you:
- You value high-quality work with attention to detail and have a track record of delivering both. You combine curiosity, judgment, and drive, and like asking "why" to unravel a seemingly complex problem and get to the root cause. You engender a collaborative environment where teams work together to solve problems.
- When you encounter a problem you come up with multiple solutions, weigh the tradeoffs and efforts, identify the best path forward, and exercise good judgment to drive ahead. You have experience in change management and turning information and questions into action. You're comfortable interacting with people across all levels of an organization and can field questions during a presentation like a pro.
- You can quickly learn and be impactful in new areas to keep pace with our rapid growth and evolution. You can take an ambiguous assignment and deliver value quickly. You employ multiple tools, methods, and techniques to get things done.
On your first day, we'll expect you to have:
- 5 years of experience gathering, consulting, and writing technical requirements and/or user documentation
- 5 years of software system administration experience (e.g. Atlassian products, Salesforce, NetSuite)
- 2 years of experience in a technical support or similar role
- Experience with the software development lifecycle and writing code in Bash, Python, JavaScript, or other modern scripting/programming languages; writing and running database queries; troubleshooting complex software systems
- Total 7 + years of related experience
