Job description

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.

Overview

Jira is the beating heart of Atlassian’s System of Work, evolving from a system that helps teams manage work into an intelligent partner for how modern work gets done. Unifying organizational context, capabilities, and agentic workflows - and enriched by the Teamwork Graph and powered by Rovo, 1P, and 3P agents - Jira turns everyday collaboration into a blend of human creativity, enterprise-grade reliability and agent-driven execution.
