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.

You take pride in others looking up to, but you're still eager grow and hone in on skills as a Senior Engineer... We place 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 capabilities as a developer, which is all we need to make an accurate assessment for this role.

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

• Drive large, complex projects autonomously, from technical design to launch

• Determine plans-of-attack on large projects

• Tackle complex architecture challenges, 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

• Be an example for thorough, meaningful code reviews

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

• Transfer your depth of knowledge from your current language to excel as a Java developer.

• 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:

• 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 required.

• Highly-trusted knowledge in at least one domain and working knowledge in multiple tech domains

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

• Considers the customer impact when making technical decisions
