Apply for this job

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.


  • Regularly tackle the largest and most complex problems in the team, from technical design to launch.

  • Work closely with Product, Engineering and Design leads in Jira AI, and translate their requirements into solid engineering deliverables, delegating work to the teams.

  • Deliver solutions that are used by other teams and products.

  • Follow a Product Engineer mindset by building features that are data-driven and customer-centric, fostering that culture within the Jira AI group.

  • Routinely tackle complex architecture challenges and define architectural standards.

  • Actively contribute to the code delivery through leading code reviews & documentation, direct contribution and fixing complex bugs in high-risk surface areas.

  • Partner across engineering teams to take on company-wide initiatives spanning multiple projects.

  • Mentor junior members on the team.


On your first day, we’ll expect you to have:

  • Fluency in at least one modern object-oriented programming language (preferably Java/Kotlin and Python).

  • Understanding of Machine Learning project lifecycle and tools.

  • Experience in architecting and implementing high-performance RESTful microservices.

  • Experience building and operating large scale distributed systems using Amazon Web Services (S3, Kinesis, Cloud Formation, EKS, AWS Security and Networking).

  • Experience with Continuous Delivery and Continuous Integration.

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

  • Expert-level SQL knowledge, query tuning, schema design, and ETL processes.

  • Experience with Databricks or Apache Spark.

  • Experience with Amazon Sagemaker.

  • Experience with scaling and deploying Machine Learning models.

  • Experience with using LLMs.
