Working at Atlassian
Atlassian can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity. Assuming you have eligible working rights and a sufficient time zone overlap with your team, you can choose to work remotely or return to an office as they reopen (unless it's necessary for your role to be performed in the office). Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.
Job Summary
You are a Principal Software Engineer on the Solutions Engineering Technologies team focused on building our SaaS demo product. Our product overlays demos on top of Atlassian's products you know and love (Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, etc...) at scale. We are the cherry on top of the Atlassian sundae. You'll report to the Senior Engineering Manager of the team.
Developer
You are a hands-on keyboard backend Software Developer, building microservices to support our product. You'll focus on four areas:
1. New product features
2. Integration of demo data into our platform
3. Tech debt
4. Core functionality changes as microservices we rely upon evolve and deprecate
Our key technologies are:
- REST API
- Python
- JSON
- Our Micros platform
- Some native AWS services (batch, lambda)
This is 70% of the job.
Operations
In addition to being a developer, you'll also be responsible for Operations...A DevOps Engineer if you will. For the most part, you won't need to worry about the infrastructure that's automagically handled by our Micros platform. However, we rely upon other microservices, so we often partner with other teams to understand what happens when something breaks.
Responsibilities include:
- Monitor and resolve high priority incidents and outages
- Monitor SLAs/SLOs
- Navigate the organization to find the downstream microservice/team that's experiencing the issues
This is 30% of the job.
When you join the team, you'd be expected to have:
And ideally, we'd hope you'd have:
