You take pride in being someone who more junior members look up to and sharing your expertise with others... That's why we're placing a heavy emphasis on leaning on your expertise to take on a high level of responsibility while being a role model and mentor to others on the team.

    Wait, I don't have Java experience and you still want to interview me? That's right! At Atlassian, we hire engineers that can demonstrate their ability to learn and keep up with new and emerging technologies. It's true that Atlassian's stack is primarily written in Java and in the role you'll be coding primarily in Java, but we do believe in using the right tools for the job rather than being tied to the tool (e.g. Java). We happen to have a variety of languages within our stack including Kotlin, Python, and Ruby. For the interview process, we want to see you at your best. This means that during the interview, we want you to code in whatever language you feel you're best at. This will give us a sense of your skills as a developer, which is all we need to make a proper assessment for this role.

    In this role, you'll get the chance to:

    • Regularly tackle the largest and most complex problems on the team, from technical design to launch

    • Deliver solutions that are used by other teams and products

    • Determine plans-of-attack on large projects

    • Routinely tackle complex architecture challenges and apply architectural standards and start using them on new projects

    • Lead code reviews & documentation as well as take on complex bug fixes, especially on high-risk problems

    • Set the standard for thorough, meaningful code reviews

    • Partner across engineering teams to take on company-wide initiatives spanning multiple projects

    • Transfer your depth of knowledge from your current language to excel as a Software Engineer

    • Mentor more junior members

    Sound like an exciting opportunity? We think so too... In order to set you up for impact on day one, we'll expect you to have this on your first day:

    • Bachelors, Masters, or PhD in Computer science in a related technical field or similar experience

    • You are not required to know a specific programming language, however expert-level experience with one or more prominent languages such as Java, Python, C#, C/C++, or Ruby is crucial.

    • An expert in at least one technical topic/domain

    • Passion for collaborating with and mentoring junior members of the team

    • A real appetite for helping others learn and grow

    • Considers the customer impact when making technical decisions
