Atlassian is continuing to hire with all interviewing and on-boarding done virtually due to COVID-19. All new and existing Atlassians will continue to work from home until it’s safe to return to our offices. When our offices re-open, every Atlassian will have the choice to work from an office or from home.
We, Quality Engineers, in Atlassian’s Team Enterprise provide quality assistance, define and improve processes, identify and mitigate risks & implement tooling and automation solutions to multiple teams. Instead of performing manual tests and writing automated tests, we look at the bigger picture and find the best solutions to improve the quality of our products while helping improve development speed.
As a Quality Engineer, you'll be working with development teams to deliver features in Atlassian’s Enterprise offerings. You are key in the improvement of quality, speeding up development time, and shipping better products more consistently. In an Agile development environment, you are working directly with developers on innovative projects and outstanding products, whilst collaborating with product managers, designers and support engineers.
You'll lead the efforts in assessing and mitigating risks, solving quality challenges and implementing changes to improve engineering efficiency with the backing of data. You will also train and coach developers on quality assurance, and improve processes across the wider Enterprise team together with the rest of the highly-talented and supportive QEs.
What kind of things do QEs do? Well, here is a shortlist of our accomplishments:
Creating services that monitor for risky coding patterns, and providing insights to the developer before merging their work to master
Convincing a team to architect their code in a different way to make it more testable
Pairing with developers to train them on efficient testing techniques (including exploratory testing)
Augmenting a team's build pipeline with the right environment to test platform changes
Analysing incidents to identify the optimal point to prevent reoccurrences in the future
Building a heat map of the complete picture of performance testing results against certain product offerings
Analysing automation coverage to find the most valuable area to focus on
You're a great fit for this position if you want to help ship awesome software, not just prevent poor software from being released! We understand that shipping awesome software requires more than just testing. It involves improvements to processes, tools and testing approaches. It involves collaborating with and training developers, analysing data and innovating constantly.
If you're someone who actively advocates and implements change, someone who continually develops and balances both technical and soft skills, someone who understands that making great software requires the prevention of problems and not just finding them, then this position was made for you!
We are looking for someone who is not only a champion of product quality but also understands risks related to people and process. The outcomes of this role include:
