  • Ship well-tested, secure, reliable, and maintainable code while keeping our customers best interests in mind

  • Contribute to code reviews, documentation, and complex bug fixes with security, performance and reliability in mind

  • Mentor and level up the skills of your teammates by sharing your expertise

  • Improve the growth engineering team through mentoring

  • Identify blockers to ensure software engineering excellence (design principles and patterns, unit testing, performance engineering, best practices for security and privacy)

At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable, explainable, and competitive compensation programs. We follow consistent hiring practices and account for each candidate's skills, knowledge, and experience when setting base pay within the range.
