Senior Principal Engineer

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.

• 12+ years in hands on technical leadership roles, with end to end ownership across the software development lifecycle.

• A track record of setting technical direction across a function or organization, not just one team, and bringing many engineers with you.

• Deep expertise building large scale systems in one or more of: distributed systems and cloud infrastructure, developer platforms, data and measurement systems, or applied AI.

• Genuine technical depth. You still write code, go deep into hard problems, and raise the quality bar for everyone around you.

• Strong judgment on cost, scale, and return on investment. You treat efficiency as a real engineering problem.

• Experience influencing decision makers and turning ambiguity into a clear plan.

• Real excitement for an open, unmapped space. Building software with AI is being invented now, and you want to help invent it.

Nice to have:

• Hands on experience with modern AI systems such as large language models, agents, or AI developer tools.

• Background in developer experience, developer productivity, or the tooling and infrastructure behind CI and CD.
