Sr. Site Reliability Engineer (Confluence)
Atlassian is continuing to hire with all interviewing and on-boarding done virtually due to COVID-19. Everyone new to the team, along with our current staff, will temporarily work from home until it is safe to return to our offices.
At Atlassian, we're changing the way we manage our hosted services. Site Reliability Engineering is the approach we are taking to deliver on our World Class SaaS promise to our customers.
As a Senior Site Reliability Engineer in the team for Confluence, you’ll build solutions to enhance the availability, performance and stability of Atlassian's Confluence Cloud offering as well as automating away repetitive work. You will work very closely with the product architects and developers and be expected to contribute to the product development efforts. You'll also respond to alerts, pings, pages, queries and problems that you can investigate and really sink your teeth into. You'll be working on non-production and production environments, monitoring, data collection and configuration management, as well as disaster recovery planning, capacity engineering, reliability improvement initiatives and platform automation. The best person for this role is someone that has a collaborative spirit - in our world, it’s not about being a hero and having all the answers, it’s about sometimes saying "I don't know" and working on finding solutions rather than starting with an assumption. The team needs someone who can collaborate with other teams, ask questions, learn from others and turn chaos into order.
This role would be a great fit for someone with creative and innovative problem solving skills. You will not only identify problems, but also develop and implement solutions that operate at scale - seeing your own technology efforts directly improve the reliability of our products. Our teams are empowered and expected to improve our products to truly deliver a reliable experience to customers. You will own development efforts in each and every sprint from planning to delivery to realise this goal and collaborate with different teams to review code.
One thing we promise: you’ll never be bored.
On your first day, we'll expect you to have:
- Software development experience with Java.
- Experience in automation - we don't want you doing repetitive work! Python is ideal.
- Deep understanding of Linux systems.
- Serious troubleshooting skills across different levels of the stack.
- Hands-on experience with AWS.
- Deep expertise in Monitoring distributed systems application architectures.
- Diagnosing and resolving problems in high-throughput web applications and network services.
- Solid communication skills with team members near and far.
It's great, but not required, if you have:
- Experience with container management and microservices architectures such as Docker.
- Building, automating, and maintaining infrastructure in Amazon Web Services.
- Experience monitoring cloud services with DataDog.
- Understanding of incident management process.
- Awareness and insight into industry trends (technology, methods and tooling).
- Experience working with Atlassian products such as Jira and Confluence.
- Management and troubleshooting of a continuous integration pipeline.
- Experience leading teams of engineers in service outage situations.
