Job description

About the Opportunity

We are seeking a Senior Atlassian Consultant to join our team at N26. This role is designed for an Atlassian technical expert who thrives in a high-growth, evolving FinTech landscape. You won't just be managing tools; you will be optimizing the way our entire organization collaborates.

We are looking for a professional who enjoys conceptual ownership. At N26, we value "first-principles" thinking—the ability to take high-level business goals and translate them into elegant, scalable technical architectures. If you enjoy a role where you have the autonomy to define the "how" and "why" behind a solution, this is the place for you.

In this role, you will:

• Translate Vision into Reality: Act as a key partner to stakeholders, taking broad business objectives and refining them into sophisticated, high-impact technical solutions within the Atlassian suite.
• Drive Independent Project Life-Cycles: Lead initiatives from discovery and requirements gathering through to design, build, and global rollout. You will have full ownership of the delivery process.
• Continuous Ecosystem Evolution: Proactively identify opportunities to modernize our setup. You will independently detect friction points and propose innovative ways to enhance organizational velocity.
• Engineer Advanced Customizations: Extend the standard capabilities of Jira and Confluence through custom scripting (Scriptrunner/Groovy) and high-level use of Atlassian APIs. You will build the "glue" that connects our processes.
• Architect Versatile Workflows: Design and implement custom Jira configurations that are robust enough for a regulated bank but flexible enough for an agile tech company.
• Data-Driven Storytelling: Utilize advanced reporting and analytics to provide leadership with clear visibility into operational health and project progress.
• Technical Mentorship: Act as a subject matter expert, coaching teams on best practices and ensuring our internal documentation is a "gold standard" resource.

What you need to be successful:

• Professional Seniority: 5+ years (minimum 3+) of hands‑on experience in Jira, JSM, and Confluence administration within enterprise environments.
• Conceptual Agility: You are comfortable working from high-level briefs and enjoy the process of "discovery"—asking the right questions to build a clear, structured path forward.
• Financial Services Context: Experience in a regulated environment is a strong plus, helping you balance innovation with compliance and security standards.
• The Technical Edge: * Core: Deep proficiency in JQL, Automations, Atlassian APIs, Assets and Scriptrunner (Groovy).
• Communication Mastery: You can navigate conversations with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring everyone is aligned on the solution. Fluent English is a must.
• Deep expertise: in Jira administration, workflow customization, stakeholder management, and best practices for scalable implementation across diverse teams
• Nice to have:
• Familiarity with Atlassian Analytics or the Forge framework.
• Knowledge about ITIL/ITSM
• Knowledge of product and software development lifecycle
• Coaching skills

What’s in it for you:

• Accelerate your career growth by joining one of Europe’s most talked about disruptors.
• Employee benefits that range from a competitive personal development budget, work from home budget, discounts to fitness & wellness memberships, language apps and public transportation.
• As an N26 employee you will have access to a Premium subscription on your personal N26 bank account. As well as subscriptions for friends and family members.
• Vacation days vary depending on your location of work. Additional day of annual leave for each year of service.
• A high degree of autonomy and access to cutting edge technologies - all while working with a friendly team of peers of diverse nationalities, life experiences and family statuses.
• A relocation package with visa support for those who need it.
