Senior Front End Software Engineer, Confluence Cloud Developer Experience
Atlassian is continuing to hire with all interviewing and on-boarding done virtually due to COVID-19. All new and existing Atlassians will continue to work from home until it’s safe to return to our offices. When our offices re-open, we will provide the choice to work from home or return to work in an office unless a job requirement makes it necessary for a particular role to be performed at an Atlassian office.
Atlassian is looking for an experienced and dedicated Senior Front End Developer to join the Confluence Cloud Developer Experience team! As part of the broader Confluence Cloud team, we are multipliers enabling our team as a whole to efficiently, safely, and reliably deliver Confluence Cloud changes from the local development to production. We ensure more than 150 developers can do their jobs, from setting up the IDE locally to releasing their changes safely to production.
At a high level, we:
-build tools to improve the development experience, and to run and test Confluence
-ensure release quality and reliability by improving our CI pipeline and other tools to measure and decrease the risk of changes
-maintain the Confluence build scripts and shared libraries
-modernizing and simplifying the Confluence codebase to improve overall quality
-step in and assist with whatever is necessary for Confluence developers to get their jobs done!
On your first day, we'll expect you to have:
- Passion for improving quality and/or developer experiences
- An ability to learn quickly and an interest in learning a broad range of areas
- Orientation towards finding solutions for internal customers, and strong interpersonal and communication skills
- Specialization in JavaScript, HTML5, CSS
- Experience with at least one popular JavaScript framework (e.g. React, Vue, Angular JS).
- Experience with modern testing frameworks (e.g., Jest, Puppeteer, Cypress)
- Experience with large scale single-page web applications
- Familiarity with node.js
- Familiarity with a language and framework appropriate for local tooling, other than node.js (for example, Bash scripting or a modern scripting language such as Python, Ruby, or Perl)
- Familiarity with cloud architecture patterns, the SaaS/PaaS/IaaS industry, and with distributed systems
Our team would particularly like to hear from you if you have deep expertise in any of our focus areas:
- Frameworks for automated test of modern front-end applications
- Maintaining build/transpilation infrastructure for large SPA applications
- Building developer-experience tools, either internal or commercially
- Extracting front-end code from legacy mixed codebases
- Continuous delivery and infrastructure as code
- Building or modernizing CI or test frameworks for a large SaaS web application
It's great, but not required if you have:
- Experience with Apollo GraphQL, Redux, ImmutableJS
- Experience with TypeScript
- Experience with back-end development, especially with Java and the JVM platform
- Experience with large or very large codebases
- Expertise with additional tools or frameworks used for any of our areas - AWS, Docker, git, testing frameworks like Cypress/Selenium, CI tools like Bamboo or Jenkins, code analysis tools like SonarQube or SourceClear
- Experience in building, testing, deploying and maintaining microservices
- Practical knowledge of agile software development methodologies (e.g., XP, scrum)

More About the Team
We are always growing, learning, and adapting, in and out of the office. You'll be joining a team that is highly engaged and direct.

It's all about improving our user's experience no matter who or where it is.
