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.

• You are a great communicator and maintain many of the essential cross-team and cross-functional relationships necessary for the team's success.

• Industry experience working with large-scale, high-performance data processing systems (batch and streaming) with a "Streaming First" mindset to drive Atlassian's business growth and improve the product experience.

• You have stellar people management skills and experience leading agile data or related software teams.

• You can drive technical excellence, pushing for innovation and quality.

• Experience working with public cloud offerings such as Amazon Web Services, DynamoDB, ElasticSearch, S3, Databricks, Spark/Spark-Streaming, and Databricks.

We'd be super excited if you have

• Experience with at least one high-level programming language, such as Python
