Since our beginning in 2007 as a project to make a time-tracking tool to help a client – Tempo has expanded to become the #1 time management add-on for Jira, and we have developed and acquired a multitude of tools to become one of the most trusted names in the Atlassian ecosystem.

We want everyone to work better – but we also want to be a tech company with a heart. Join us as we continuously innovate our award-winning products, create new solutions, and help the world work smarter, not harder.

• Feedback Loop: Act as a critical link between the field and product engineering, feeding enterprise customer insights and AI feature requests back to product management to shape our roadmap.

• Scalable Engineering: Contribute to the creation of reusable demo environments, advanced integration patterns, and best-practice technical documentation.

• Community & Travel: Co-host technical workshops and industry events with partners and clients, with occasional travel for priority conferences and internal collaboration.

Who you are:

• Experience: 5+ years of Solutions Engineering (Pre-Sales) or enterprise consulting experience within enterprise B2B SaaS environments.

• Domain Expertise: Strong background in Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM), Project Portfolio Management (PPM), Resource Management, or Enterprise Agility frameworks.

• AI & Data Literacy: Familiarity with how AI, machine learning models, or predictive analytics can be leveraged within enterprise software to drive forecasting and data insights.

• Ecosystem Expertise: Deep knowledge of the Atlassian Cloud ecosystem, including Jira Software, Jira Service Management, Confluence, Jira Product Discovery, and Atlassian Access.

• Consultative Mindset: Exceptional ability to map complex, disjointed business processes to a unified, automated software solution.
