Integration & Platform Expertise

• Integrate Jira Cloud with external SaaS platforms and internal services using the Jira REST APIs and secure outbound connections via Forge.
• Develop custom business logic, validation rules, and workflow extensions that precisely meet specific organizational requirements.
• Provide advanced technical support and performance tuning for custom Jira Cloud applications, configurations, and integrations.

Collaboration & Delivery

• Collaborate closely with Product Owners, Business Analysts, and cross-functional teams to gather requirements, define technical solutions, and ensure alignment with strategic business objectives.
• Document technical designs, deployment procedures, and testing plans for all custom solutions.

Required Technical Expertise

• Forge Mastery: Proven, hands-on experience in architecting and deploying multiple Jira Cloud applications using the Atlassian Forge framework.
• Core Languages: Strong proficiency in JavaScript (ES6+) and TypeScript.
• Frontend: Deep experience building interfaces using React (Custom UI) or the Forge UI Kit.
• Platform Knowledge: Comprehensive understanding of the Jira Cloud platform, including the configuration layer (Issue Types, Screens, Field Contexts, Workflow Schemes, and advanced Permissions).
• APIs & Data: Strong familiarity with the Jira Cloud REST APIs and leveraging data effectively within Forge applications.
• Architecture: Solid knowledge of Forge authentication mechanisms, asynchronous processing, and event handling within the Atlassian platform ecosystem.
• Quality: Ability to design, implement, and test performant, maintainable, and reusable code solutions.

Preferred Attributes (Nice to Have)

• Experience with legacy scripting in Server/Data Center (e.g., Groovy/ScriptRunner, Power Scripts/SIL) to support migration or comparative analysis.
• Familiarity with Jira Expressions for dynamic condition and validation logic.
• Working knowledge of SQL for understanding data structures and supporting external reporting efforts.
• Familiarity with modern deployment practices (CI/CD, version control via Git).

Cultural Fit

• Self-Starter: A highly proactive individual with a passion for innovation and continuous skill development in a rapidly evolving platform.
• Communication: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to translate complex business needs into clear, actionable technical specifications and vice-versa.
• Delivery Focus: Proven track record of delivering high-quality, stable, and user-centric Jira customizations in a large-scale enterprise environment.
