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.

About the role

We’re looking for a senior full‑stack engineer to support our DX team at Atlassian. Someone who’s as comfortable diving into a Ruby on Rails codebase and raw SQL as they are crafting thoughtful, accessible UI in React and TailwindCSS. You’ll work end‑to‑end on features: from shaping vague problem statements with product and design, to shipping high‑quality code, to measuring impact and iterating quickly.

Responsibilities

What you’ll do

• Build and ship features and capabilities daily in a highly scalable, cross-geo distributed environment.

• Focus on backend-heavy fullstack development, building robust REST APIs while contributing to customer-facing React components.

• Review code with best practices of readability, testing patterns, documentation, reliability, security, and performance considerations in mind.

• Collaborate with other engineers, designers, and product managers to understand user pain points and iterate on great solutions.

• Ensure full visibility, error reporting, and monitoring of high-performing backend services.

• Participate in Agile software development including daily stand‑ups, sprint planning, and team retrospectives.

• Write performant raw SQL to power complex queries, reports, and data workflows.

• Collaborate closely with product and design to shape problem statements, refine requirements, and propose pragmatic technical solutions when specs are incomplete or ambiguous.

• Own projects end‑to‑end: architecture, implementation, self‑QA, rollout, monitoring, and iteration based on customer and stakeholder feedback.

• Hold a high bar for quality: write clear, maintainable code, comprehensive tests, and robust monitoring/alerting where appropriate.

• Contribute to improving our engineering practices, tooling, and standards, especially around data correctness, reporting, and reliability.

Qualifications

Your Background:

• 5+ years of industry experience building and developing backend applications with a lean towards fullstack capabilities.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree (preferably a Computer Science degree or equivalent experience).

• Proficiency in any modern object‑oriented programming language (e.g., Java, Kotlin, Go, Scala, Python).

• Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and supporting libraries (e.g., React, Node).

• Experience crafting and implementing highly scalable and performant RESTful micro‑services.

• Fluency in at least one database technology (e.g., RDBMS like Postgres and/or NoSQL like DynamoDB).

• Familiarity with cloud architecture patterns and hands‑on experience with public cloud offerings (AWS preferred).

• A passion for collaboration and strong interpersonal and communication skills.
