Responsibilities
Administer and continuously improve our Jira and Confluence environments — including project configuration, permission schemes, workflows, issue types, space architecture, license management, and user provisioning
Build and maintain dashboards, filters, and reporting to give stakeholders visibility into project status and team capacity
Partner closely with stakeholders across the company — including MarComm, Engineering, Operations, and more — to design Jira projects and Confluence spaces that reflect how each team works
Develop and enforce governance standards for space ownership, page templates, project naming conventions, and data hygiene
Serve as the primary point of contact for Atlassian platform requests — triaging and fulfilling tickets from users while maintaining runbooks and end-user documentation
Proactively identify opportunities to improve how teams work — whether through a new integration, add-on, or better use of existing features — and drive awareness and adoption company-wide
Play a key role in our planned Data Center to Cloud migration — assessing app compatibility, coordinating cutover planning, and ensuring continuity for users throughout the transition
Manage other platforms including Airtable and DocuSign
Requirements
3+ years of hands-on Jira and Confluence administration experience in a production environment, including Jira/Confluence Data Center
Deep familiarity with Jira project types (classic and next-gen/team-managed), workflow customization, permission schemes, and automation rules
Experience designing and governing Confluence space architecture, templates, and permissions at scale
Hands-on ScriptRunner experience — writing Groovy scripts to extend Jira workflows, automate transitions, and implement custom behaviors that native automation can't handle
Practical experience with the Jira and Confluence REST APIs: building integrations, scripting bulk operations, and connecting Atlassian tools to other platforms
Track record of working directly with non-technical stakeholders to scope and deliver platform solutions
Comfortable managing competing priorities across multiple teams with different working styles and maturity levels
Strong written communication skills — you can explain a complex workflow to an engineer and a non-technical executive equally well
Preferred Skills & Experience
Experience with Jira Service Management or ITSM workflows
Exposure to compliance-adjacent environments (GovCloud, FedRAMP, CMMC, or similar)
Atlassian certification (ACP-100 or equivalent) a plus, not a requirement
What We Do
Hermeus is a high-speed aircraft manufacturer focused on the rapid design, build, and test of high-Mach and hypersonic aircraft for the national interest. Working directly with the Department of Defense, Hermeus delivers capabilities that will ensure that our nation, and our allies, maintain an asymmetric advantage over any and all potential adversaries. Utilizing an integrated, hardware-rich, iterative development approach to aircraft design and build, Hermeus aims to deliver advanced air power at a pace not seen in the U.S. since the 1950s. Hermeus’ current Quarterhorse Program is actively unlocking unmanned high-speed flight. One program, four aircraft – each purpose-built to unlock a specific technical challenge, advance learnings, and incrementally de-risk critical technology in the pursuit of hypersonic aircraft. Today, Hermeus is building its second Quarterhorse vehicle, Mk 2, after having designed, built, and flight tested its predecessor, Mk 1, in 18 months. Capable of reaching speeds of Mach 3+, Quarterhorse Mk 2 will be the fastest uncrewed military aircraft in service for national defense. The final iteration of Quarterhorse, Mk 4, will be capable of transitioning from turbofan to ramjet mode utilizing a Hermeus-developed turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) propulsion system to achieve sustained speeds of Mach 5+. Hermeus' approach of build-fly-build lays the groundwork for unlocking hypersonic flight at a pace and cost previously deemed impossible. America needs fast planes fast – and Hermeus is delivering them.
Why Work With Us
We prioritize hardware and people. Cutting-edge technology is only made possible by bringing together a world-class team. At Hermeus, you will be challenged – but also empowered. We encourage calculated risks taking and learning from our mistakes. Iteration is the name of the game.
