About this role
Atlassian is a company focused on unleashing the potential of every team through their software products. They are seeking a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to own their platform end-to-end, focusing on building and maintaining reliable, scalable, and secure infrastructure while working across various technologies.
Responsibilities:
- You'll design and improve our systems architecture, build flexible deployment tooling, and ensure we can ship confidently
- At times, you'll work directly with customers in a forward-deployed capacity—helping deploy DX into their environments, architecting solutions for complex infrastructure requirements, and ensuring successful implementations across cloud platforms
- When a customer has a tricky networking constraint or compliance requirement, you'll be the one figuring out how to make it work
Requirements:
- Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code using Terraform
- Built and maintained production Kubernetes clusters (EKS, GKE, or AKS)
- Experience designing Helm charts that are flexible enough to support multiple environments without becoming unmaintainable
- Experience with deployment automation and GitOps practices—ideally with ArgoCD, but strong experience with similar tools works too
- Comfortable working directly with customers when needed
- Ability to translate technical constraints into clear language, run deployment calls, and write tactful emails when things go sideways
- Understanding of security and compliance requirements
- Experience with frameworks like SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA, or ISO 27001 is a plus
- Generalist with depth in infrastructure
- Comfortable across the stack, whether that's debugging a database query, tracing a networking issue, or reviewing application code
- Output and work ethic consistently exceed that of peers
- Accustomed to carrying a lot of weight: being the first to jump on a production issue, going the extra mile to ship something today instead of tomorrow, or proactively improving systems that aren't technically your responsibility
