Atlassian is continuing to hire for all open roles with all interviewing and on-boarding done virtually due to COVID-19. Everyone new to the team, along with our current staff, will temporarily work from home until it is safe to return to our offices.

Want to build the future of code collaboration at a company built by developers for developers?

Does working on a project that serves millions of end users float your boat?

Are you an experienced software developer who’s passionate about building, debugging, and optimizing SaaS software running at scale?

Come join us at Atlassian and work on bitbucket.org, our source code hosting site! You will be working in a fast-paced SaaS environment where every line of code you write will be appreciated by a developer community of millions. You will be responsible for designing, implementing, monitoring, scaling and optimizing the code that powers Bitbucket. The company and our products are scaling rapidly and this is the team with the most to gain.

On your first day, we'll expect you to have experience with:

  • Leading the technical design and development of new software applications, features, and distributed services that support a high-scale web application
  • Designing, building, and maintaining RESTful APIs
  • Troubleshooting issues with existing architecture and code
  • Experience with performance tuning, profiling and debugging applications and services serving millions of requests per day.
  • Contributing to each step of the product development process, (ideation, implementation, and release)
  • Programming in Java, Golang, or Python (experience with Django is a plus)
  • Schema-based data storage (SQL)

  • Highly desirable:
  • A solid understanding of distributed version control internals including data structures and experience running DVCS servers.
  • It's great if you have knowledge of and/or professional experience with:

  • Agile development methodologies like XP and Scrum
  • Operating systems (POSIX UNIX)
  • Networking (IP, routing, RPC)
  • Encryption and authentication protocols (OAuth, SSL)


  • More about our benefits

    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.
