Job description

Overview

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.

The Role:

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer for the Internal Data Platform team, reporting to the team’s Senior Engineering Manager. This role suits candidates with experience building data platforms at scale and a passion for solving complex analytical problems with modern technologies.

The successful candidate will have extensive experience in software development, distributed systems, cloud technologies and infrastructure, and ideally in data platforms. Data engineering skills are valuable, but this is primarily a software engineering role.

As part of our team, you will help develop and maintain solutions for Atlassian's data platform, focusing on reliability, scalability and performance. You will have the chance to build a petabyte-scale data lake using vendor, open-source and custom-built technologies. You will collaborate with a diverse team of backend engineers to serve stakeholders ranging from data engineers and data scientists to product managers and senior leadership.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop and own the delivery of high-quality data platform and software services to support a petabyte-scale data lake.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, senior engineers and architects across multiple disciplines to discuss, design and ship new features.
• Help maintain high code quality through peer reviews and by defining and establishing coding standards, guidelines and best practices within the team.
• Drive improvements in operational excellence, including security, reliability, availability, performance, procedures and processes.
• Use a data-driven approach to inform decisions and design technical solutions.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in a software engineering role, preferably in the data platform domain.
• A bachelor's or master's degree in computer science or a related discipline.
• Expertise in solving complex distributed systems problems.
• Experience building applications in one or more of the following languages: Kotlin, Scala, Java or Python.
• Strong knowledge of AWS or GCP services.
• Familiarity with cloud architecture patterns and the engineering practices needed to build high-quality, performant, scalable, reliable and highly available software.
• Experience with data processing frameworks and technologies such as Spark, Flink, StarRocks, Databricks, dbt or Airflow.
