Software Engineer

Atlassian is a company focused on unleashing the potential of every team through their software products. They are seeking a Software Engineer with strong backend engineering experience and a focus on data-heavy platforms and distributed systems, responsible for optimizing systems at scale and collaborating with team members to deliver high-quality solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Strong backend engineering experience with JVM-based languages (Java, Kotlin preferred)
• Experience with data-heavy platforms and streaming architectures – Hands-on work with technologies like Kafka, Kinesis, SQS, Flink or similar event streaming systems. You should understand patterns like change data capture (CDC), backpressure management, delivery semantics, and how to build resilient data pipelines that maintain consistency across distributed systems
• Proven ability to operate and optimize systems at scale – Experience designing for high throughput and low latency complex distributed workflows
• Multi-cloud or cloud-native infrastructure experience (AWS, GCP, or both) – Familiarity with deploying and operating services across cloud providers, understanding cloud primitives (S3, object storage, message queues), infrastructure-as-code, and building platform capabilities that enable self-service for internal teams
• Ownership and delivery – You handle complex tasks and small projects autonomously, ensuring high quality and maintaining proactive communication throughout the process. You follow through on your commitments, taking ownership of your work, ensuring timely delivery and alignment with team goals
• Technical proficiency – You're skilled at writing high-quality code that is well-structured, appropriately flexible, reusable, efficient, and adaptable to changing requirements. You're proficient in the team's codebase and its associated languages, tools, libraries, idioms, and patterns. Your code reviews contribute and apply the high quality standard of the team
• Collaboration and influence – You embrace change, navigate ambiguity, and adapt quickly to it. You collaborate with your team and others to navigate complex and ambiguous situations. You actively contribute to decisions that impact the team and use data to measure the impact of features you deliver
