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.

Atlassian is looking for a Software Engineer to join our data platform team in IT which is responsible for building our real-time data ingestion system, maintaining our big data technologies and facilitating the movement of billions of messages each day. We are looking for an open-minded, structured thinker who is passionate about building services that scale.

On a typical day you will help our engineering teams ingest data faster into our data lake, you’ll find ways to make our data pipelines more efficient, or even come up with ideas to help instigate self-serve data engineering within the company. Then you will move on to architecting, designing, and building a platform at a scale that very few other people have had to work with.

You’ll get the opportunity to work on APIs that multiple people depend on both internally and externally to Atlassian and an AWS based platform which uses technologies such as ElasticSearch and DynamoDB. We are a team with very little legacy in our tech stack and as a result you’ll spend less time paying off technical debt and more time identifying ways to make our platform better and improve our users experience.

As a software engineer in the data platform team, you will have the opportunity to apply your strong technical experience building highly reliable services. You enjoy working in a fast paced environment and you are able to take vague requirements and transform them into solid solutions. You are motivated by solving challenging problems, where creativity is as crucial as your ability to write code.

Data is a BIG deal at Atlassian. We ingest over 180 billion events each month into our real-time platform and we have dozens of teams across the company depending on the speed and data the platform provides.

You’ll be joining a strong team that is spread out among multiple Atlassian locations. We value when people ask hard questions and challenge each other to constantly improve our work. We are independent but love highly collaborative team environments, so you'll get the opportunity to work with lots of other awesome people just like you.

Whether you work in an office or a distributed team, Atlassian is highly collaborative and yes, fun! To support you at work (and play) we offer some fantastic perks: ample time off to relax and recharge, flexible working options, five paid volunteer days a year for your favourite cause, an annual allowance to support your learning & growth, unique ShipIt days, a company paid trip after five years and lots more.

Creating software that empowers everyone from small startups to the who’s who of tech is why we’re here. We build tools like Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and Trello to help teams across the world become more nimble, creative, and aligned—collaboration is the heart of every product we dream of at Atlassian. From Amsterdam and Austin, to Sydney and San Francisco, we’re looking for people who want to write the future and who believe that we can accomplish so much more together than apart. At Atlassian, we’re committed to an environment where everyone has the autonomy and freedom to thrive, as well as the support of like-minded colleagues who are motivated by a common goal to: Unleash the potential of every team.

We believe that the unique contributions of all Atlassians is the driver of our success. To make sure that our products and culture continue to incorporate everyone's perspectives and experience we never discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, or marital, veteran, or disability status.
