Job Description

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 looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead our APAC team of Site Reliability Engineers that work with products like Jira and Confluence. Your teams will be responsible for using software engineering principles to reliably scale the Cloud infrastructure that underpins some of our products and the products themselves.

You’re a leader of leaders, coaching engineering managers and architects that report to you, supporting them in their professional development to unlock their potential, and encouraging them to step outside their comfort-zone to grow and excel. You’ll also play a critical role in the org’s leadership team, working with other engineering managers, architects, product managers and program managers to steer the organisation by contributing to the strategy and helping determine the right problems for the teams to invest in solving.

On your first day, we’ll expect you to have:

• Experience managing & growing engineering managers and technical leaders
• A drive for operational excellence and experience with teams responsible for running mission-critical production services
• A passion for driving cultural change in technical excellence, quality and efficiency
• Familiarity with Agile software development methodologies

Your background:

• 5+ years of experience implementing reliability & scale principles and practices
• Experience influencing teams outside your own organisation with data and insights
• Foster an innovation culture in your teams
• Experience with large scale distributed systems and microservices
• Experience developing and implementing a long term strategy for a team of teams

Our perks & benefits

To support you at work and play, our perks and benefits include ample time off, an annual education budget, paid volunteer days, and so much more.
