Senior Machine Learning Engineering Manager

Working at Atlassian
Atlassians can choose where they work - whether in an office, from home, or a combination of the two. That way, Atlassians have more control over supporting their family, personal goals, and other priorities. We can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.
Atlassian is looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineering Manager to join our Core Machine Learning team. The Core Machine Learning team builds and deploys advanced AI/ML modeling solutions to drive revenue generation, expand our active user base, and provide sophisticated forecasting for company top-line metrics and revenue. This is accomplished by driving the complete end-to-end ML development cycle. This is a unique opportunity to work in a collaborative environment, implement the cutting edge machine learning techniques, especially forecasting modelings, and tackle challenging and distinctive problems.
Your future team
The Core Machine Learning team sits within the Data Technology Insights group in the Atlassian Corporate Engineering Organization. We work cross-functionally across stakeholders in Growth, GTM, Product, Finance and Sales organizations, providing machine learning infrastructure and modeling applications. Our team consists of ML engineers and system engineers, and provides many opportunities for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and individual growth. We are highly nimble, with a focus on velocity between conceptualization and initial output, and laser-focused on business impact.
