Senior or Principal Back End Engineer - Remote in Sydney NSW,Australia

As Atlassian and our Jira Service Desk product continue to grow, we’re focused on finding new ways to open opportunities for people to join our team—regardless of location. Heading into 2019, we are building a small, fully remote team of developers, designers, and product management that will own a key part of the customer experience for Atlassian’s fastest growing product. Being a part of the broader Jira Service Desk team, this particular remote team will have a defined scope of work and the autonomy needed to ship value to our customers.

As part of this team, you’ll work with modern technologies to continue advancing the accessibility of Jira Service Desk outside of IT teams as we pursue our mission to unleash the potential in every team.

With the majority of development for Jira Service Desk happening in our Sydney headquarters, our goal is to find people within a 6-hour timezone overlap of Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) to allow for virtual meetings as needed.

As we continue to grow and evolve, we plan to continue exploring ways to create opportunities outside of the metro areas where we have offices. Joining this team means you’ll help to define the future of remote working at Atlassian.

As a Senior or Principal Software Engineer on the Jira Projects & Platform team, you will evolve the back end that drives Jira - Atlassian’s flagship product that serves millions of our cloud users on a monthly basis. By collaborating with forward-thinking engineers in your organisation, you will craft the Jira platform for future success as we scale to serving 100 million monthly users.

Using your deep understanding of modern cloud architectures, you will build new opportunities for modernising Jira’s back end, optimising for performance and delivering customer value through continuous development. You’ll design, implement, and own features deployed across an array of microservices.

Your experience will help drive continuous improvement practises in a collaborative team environment. You’ll get to translate your deep technical skills to influence other developers, product managers and senior managers to ensure the team understands the Jira Engineering vision, is on-board with it, and is moving towards achieving the product’s ongoing goals.
