About The Position:
To serve as the strategic leader of our engineering operating system. You will own the health, configuration, and insights derived from the Jira and Jellyfish tools, ensuring our leadership has a crystal-clear view of engineering investment, velocity, and health across the entire organisation.

We expect this candidate to be an "AI-First" practitioner, using agentic tooling to automate the mundane and focus on high-leverage organizational improvements.

What You Will Do:

Tooling Architecture & Governance

  • Jira Cloud Expert: Design, build and maintain complex workflows, permission schemes, and automation rules at scale.
  • Jellyfish Orchestration: Map Jira "Signals" to Jellyfish allocation buckets. Ensure the data reflects the true "Investment Distribution" (e.g., separating KTLO/Maintenance from Innovation).
  • System Integrity: Standardize issue types and field usage across 20+ squads to ensure Jellyfish insights are statistically valid.

AI-Augmented Operations

  • Natural Language Querying: Use Atlassian Intelligence to translate plain-English requests into complex JQL for instant reporting.
  • AI Impact Analysis: Leverage Jellyfish AI Impact to measure how AI coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor) are actually shifting our "Time to Deliver" and code quality.
  • Workflow Automation: Integrate  AI Agents to handle "ticket hygiene"—automatically flagging stale issues, summarizing long comment threads for stakeholders, and triaging incoming requests.
  • Synthetic Insights: Use LLMs (Claude/ChatGPT) to synthesize monthly Jellyfish data into executive-level narratives that explain the "Why" behind the "What."

Strategic Delivery Insights

  • DORA & Flow Metrics: Monitor Cycle Time, Lead Time, and Deployment Frequency to identify systemic bottlenecks. Also identify improvement opportunities.
  • Capitalization Reporting: Partner with Finance to use Jellyfish data for R&D tax credit reporting and labor capitalization.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Work with stakeholders on triaging and aligning requirements in conjunction with tool administrators for a seamless rollout


What We Are Looking For:  

Minimum Requirements:

  • Experience: 
    • 5+ years in Engineering Operations (EngOps), Program Management, or a similar data-heavy engineering role.
  • Tooling Expertise: 
    • Jira Cloud: Expert-level administration skills.
    • Jellyfish: Power user proficiency.
  • Analytics & Metrics: 
    • Deep understanding of Agile metrics and Engineering Investment categories.
    • Strong knowledge of DORA metrics (Deployment Frequency, Lead Time for Changes, Change Failure Rate, and Time to Restore Service).
  • Technical Skills: 
    • Advanced proficiency in Jira Automation and JQL.
    • Foundational knowledge of the SDLC process, Scrum, and SAFe methodologies.
  • AI Proficiency: 
    • Comfortable leveraging AI agents and LLMs for data analysis and scripting tasks.

 Preferred Skills & Qualifications

  • Programming & Integration: Ability to write basic Python or JavaScript for API integrations.
  • Cloud & Version Control: Experience with GitHub and AWS is considered a significant bonus.
