Atlassian can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity, assuming candidates have eligible working rights and a sufficient timezone overlap with their team. As our offices re-open, Atlassians can choose to work remotely or return to an office, unless it’s necessary for the role to be performed in the office. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

We have an opportunity for an Engineering Manager to lead and develop a team of high performing developers for our Jira Scale & Performance team in Bengaluru.

Where you’ll make an impact

You will apply your inquisitive approach in a collaborative manner no matter the task, solving complex problems whether they touch the customer or simply compliment the work of your team. You will also be required to deeply understand technology landscapes, and evaluate the use of new technologies. You will be influential within your team and work with peers and senior leaders to define and revise the standards for operational excellence across Atlassian. You will consistently tackle abstract issues that span multiple functional areas and drive your team to push for improvements that can scale across other teams, services, and platforms.

You will be responsible for building an effective team, empowering them to achieve their goals and deliver value to our customers (both internal & external) and Atlassian.

Your greatest responsibility will be looking after the individuals reporting to you, mentoring, coaching and supporting them in their professional development, unlocking their potential, and challenge them to step outside their comfort zone to grow and excel.

You will work closely with product management to influence the direction of our new services and plan the steps to get there. You will collaborate with developers to ensure they build reliable, scalable services & strive for technical & operational perfection, while balancing the needs of our customers and the business. You will be working cross-geo with the Sydney team and other partners across the globe, with the potential for travel to help drive collaboration.
