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.
  • Building and Scaling APIs: Designing and building the APIs and microservices that power core customer experiences across Atlassian's product suite.
  • Build and architect distributed systems
  • Owning the Lifecycle: Driving complex projects autonomously, taking them all the way from initial technical design and architecture to launch and post-launch maintenance.
  • Architecture & Problem Solving: Solving complex architectural challenges, defining architectural standards, and evaluating trade-offs between performance, robustness, and space/time complexity.
  • Infrastructure & Reliability: Configuring monitoring and telemetry for backend services, building CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring that features are built with high reliability and fault tolerance in mind.
  • Code Quality & Maintenance: Leading thorough, meaningful code reviews, writing detailed documentation, and tackling complex bug fixes-especially those posing a high risk to the system.
  • Cross-Team Collaboration: Partnering with other engineering, product, and platform teams to handle company-wide initiatives that span multiple projects and codebases.
  • Mentorship: Setting standards for best practices and actively mentoring more junior members of the engineering team.
