Engineering Manager

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 return to an office as they reopen (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.

 

Atlassian is looking for a seasoned Engineering Manager to lead one of Jira Cloud Ecosystem development teams in Gdansk.

The Atlassian Ecosystem has been wildly successful: we surpassed $1 billion in lifetime revenue on the Atlassian Marketplace and over 60% of Jira Software and Confluence customers use at least one Marketplace app.

Now, the teams powering the platform behind this Ecosystem have a huge role to play in enabling our customers’ journey to the Cloud. Together, we are enabling customers to confidently extend their Atlassian Cloud products, without trading off on security or reliability.

As a manager of Jira Cloud Ecosystem team you’ll envision, build and operate services and APIs that empower third party app development on Jira Cloud.

Our goal is to make Jira a powerful and easy to use extensibility platform for third party app development. On top of that we focus on making the platform cater for needs of Enterprise customers with security and compliance standards – we will make sure they feel safe building own apps and installing 3rd party apps. Together, we will make sure every team, big or small, can safely customise Jira to their needs.

In this role, you will collaborate closely not only with your immediate team, but also with engineers across a wide range of Atlassian product and platform teams, as well as with product managers and 3rd party vendors.

 

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

  • Background in leading a development team (complete lifecycle) using agile principles and practices
  • Experience in people management, including but not limited to the ability to mentor and motivate engineers
  • A practical understanding of modern programming platforms (working knowledge of JavaScript or Java would be added benefit)
  • The ability to effectively delegate tasks and monitor the progress of a team
  • A passion for driving a cultural change in technical excellence, quality, and efficiency
  • Excellent communication skills meaning that you are able to not only put your thoughts across in a(clear, concise and focused manner, but you’re also a good listener)
  • Creativity, innovation and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent interpersonal skills with proficient English (both spoken and written)
  • Flexibility to be part of the on-call roster for Major Incident Managers
  • Excellent interpersonal skills with proficient English (both spoken and written)

 

It’s great – but not required – for you to have

  • Experience with building product extensibility via APIs or related technologies
  • A demonstrated ability to foster an innovation culture in your teams
  • Relaxed yet hardworking demeanour
