Atlassian can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity, assuming candidates have eligible working rights and a sufficient timezone overlap with their team. As our offices re-open, Atlassians can choose to work remotely or return to an office, unless it’s necessary for the role to be performed in the office. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

Job description

Atlassian is looking for a Software Engineer to join our data platform services team in IT which is responsible for building our real-time data ingestion system, maintaining our big data technologies and facilitating the movement of billions of messages each day. We are looking for an open-minded, structured thinker who is passionate about building services that scale.

On a typical day you will help our engineering teams ingest data faster into our data lake, you’ll find ways to make our data pipelines more efficient, or even come up with ideas to help instigate self-serve data engineering within the company. Then you will move on to architecting, designing, and building a platform at a scale that very few other people have had to work with.

You’ll get the opportunity to work on APIs that multiple people depend on both internally and externally to Atlassian and an AWS based platform which uses technologies such as ElasticSearch and DynamoDB. We are a team with very little legacy in our tech stack and as a result you’ll spend less time paying off technical debt and more time identifying ways to make our platform better and improve our users experience.

More About You

As a software engineer in the data platform team, you will have the opportunity to apply your strong technical experience building highly reliable services. You enjoy working in a fast-paced environment and you are able to take vague requirements and transform them into solid solutions. You are motivated by solving challenging problems, where creativity is as crucial as your ability to write code.

On your first day, we'll expect you to have:

• At least 4 years of professional experience as a software engineer
• Experienced building platforms and microservices
• Familiarity with cloud architecture patterns and an engineering discipline to produce software with quality
• Proficiency in Java (Streams, Functions and Reactor modules), Spring Boot
• Fluency in any one data technology (e.g. ElasticSearch and/or NoSQL like DynamoDB or Cassandra)

It's preferred, but not technically required, that you have:

• Experience writing GraphQL, structuring data, and data storage practices
• Experience building self-service tooling and platforms
• Experience working on Amazon Web Services (in particular using S3, SQS, and the like)
• Proficiency in another modern object-oriented programming language (Python, and Node.js preferred)
• A passion for devops

More about our team

Data is a BIG deal at Atlassian. We ingest over 180 billion events each month into our real-time platform and we have dozens of teams across the company depending on the speed and data the platform provides.

You’ll be joining a strong team that is spread out among multiple Atlassian locations. We value when people ask hard questions and challenge each other to constantly improve our work. We are independent but love highly collaborative team environments, so you'll get the opportunity to work with lots of other awesome people just like you.
