Systems Engineer

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.

If you are an experienced systems engineer interested in developing your cybersecurity expertise, this role is a rare opportunity to do just that!
In this role, you will:

• Architect deployment of platforms to enhance availability, performance and stability of both custom-built and third-party security platforms, and automating away repetitive work
• Manage relationship with third-party cybersecurity vendors and act as a platform owner to ensure they are fit-for-purpose and meeting our goals
• Work on non-production and production environments: monitoring, data collection and configuration management, as well as disaster recovery planning, capacity engineering, reliability improvement, and platform automation
• Respond to internal support requests, pages and alerts to investigate issues in our services to challenge your technical abilities
• Participate in a paid 24x7 on-call rotation to support our platforms
• Partner with internal stakeholders and cross-functional teams to accomplish Trust and Security initiatives and objectives through deployment of custom and third-party tools

On your first day, we will expect you to have:

• 1+ year of experience building, automating, and maintaining cloud infrastructure in AWS using EC2, RDS/Aurora, IAM, S3, VPC or other cloud providers' equivalent services
• 1+ year experience engineering or development of custom tooling using one or more programming languages (e.g. Python, Go, or similar)
• 1+ years of experience with Kubernetes and/or Docker
• Knowledge of how to deploy and manage services using Configuration/Infrastructure-as-code projects and tooling (e.g. Ansible, Terraform, Packer)
• Built and maintained continuous integration and delivery pipelines (e.g. Bitbucket Pipelines, Bamboo, Argo Workflows, GitHub Actions)
• Hands-on experience with observability tools (e.g. Splunk, SignalFX, Datadog, ELK) and methodologies (e.g. logging, metrics, tracing) for highly available web services
• Experience responding to alerts, incidents, and requests for production services requiring 99.9% SLA
• Experience managing 3rd party software systems that require vendor engagement

It would be awesome, but not required if you have:

• Hands-on experience as a Jira Administrator and working knowledge of Jira Assets and Jira Analytics
• Experience building automation and reusable golden configuration/builds/images other teams can benefit from
• Experience managing engineering projects end to end, from requirements gathering, analysis, design, development and all the way through project delivery and transition from "build" to "run/operate" stage
• Experience using data and metrics to evaluate new technologies and technical direction
• Familiarity with analytics platforms, such as Databricks, or SQL knowledge, would be a plus
• Experience with third-party cybersecurity solutions - CNAPP, IDS, SCA, MDR/EDR, Vulnerability Assessment, SOAR, Threat Intelligence Platforms - would be a huge bonus
• Experience enhancing security by using AI
