Working at Atlassian
Atlassian can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity. Assuming you have eligible working rights and a sufficient time zone overlap with your team, you can choose to work remotely or from an office (unless it’s necessary for your role to be performed in the office). Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.
We're hiring a Distinguished Engineer to join Team Enterprise, reporting into our Head of Engineering, Enterprise Platform.

In this role, you will be working on projects spanning: security (data leak protection, thread detection, data privacy, access security, BYOK, encryption), compliance (FedRAMP, HIIPA, SOC2, etc.), cell-based architecture, scale and performance, and tenant management.
In this role, you will:
- Define and articulate a compelling vision and roadmap for multiple pillars/projects across Team Enterprise
- Partner across engineering teams to take on company-wide projects

- Hands-on experience with coding and fluency in at least one of the following languages, Java, Kotlin, C, C++
- Bias for action and influence by doing the technical work and leading by example
It's great, but not required if you have:
- 10+ years of industry experience
- Bachelors, Masters, or PhD in Computer Science
- In-depth knowledge of public cloud (we're on AWS, but we also believe skills with other cloud providers are transferrable)
