Join the Jira SRE team to enhance Cloud service reliability and performance through analysis, automation, and backend engineering expertise.
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.
We are looking for an engineer who is passionate about scaling Cloud services to join our growing Jira SRE team.

We're looking for an engineer who can analyze and help improve our services and processes to get us to an even higher level of reliability, performance, scalability, and cost efficiency.
