Working at Atlassian

Atlassians can choose where they work – whether in an office, from home, or a combination of the two. That way, Atlassians have more control over supporting their family, personal goals, and other priorities. We can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

To help our teams work together effectively, this role is fully remote, but requires you to be located in (GMT+10) AEST.

Atlassian is looking for a Senior Systems Engineer who is passionate about building scalable cloud platforms. You will be joining a high-impact team tasked with building infrastructure and services that manage and scale our Kubernetes platform.

• Contribute to the continuous improvement of infrastructure-as-code practices and CI/CD pipelines.

Your background:

• 5+ years experience building and developing infrastructure and systems
