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. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

We are looking for an experienced software engineer/architect to join the Identity group within Atlassian. Atlassian’s Identity and Access Management (IAM) system is a comprehensive framework that is designed to facilitate authentication, authorization, and user management across all Atlassian cloud products thereby enabling user-centric collaboration scenarios in a highly secure manner. We're looking for an engineer who can help evolve the Identity platform to better meet the needs of large enterprise customers as well as understand the evolving security landscape in the context of Agentic AI. The role will report directly to the Head of Engineering for Identity. This is a remote-friendly opportunity.

Qualifications:

  • 12+ years of experience building software, with 4+ years in an architect/principal role working across teams

  • Expert-level proficiency with 5+ years experience in Identity and Access Management systems

  • Broad experience architecting, designing, building large-scale systems (for enterprises) with multiple dependencies

  • Passion for building quality solutions and up-keeping quality standards.

  • Success with building, expressing, and pitching a technical vision to stakeholders.

  • Experience with collaboration with an ecosystem of teams

  • Success with leading the long-term strategy for software architecture

  • Experience with building and operating large scale, high availability, high reliability services

  • Experience in operational requirements and common challenges of software systems

  • Experience working on security and compliance-related features

  • A desire to influence the company's technical direction

  • An ability and desire to mentor and coach engineers.

  • Proficiency in spoken and written English

Compensation

At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable, explainable, and competitive compensation programs. To support this goal, the baseline of our range is higher than that of the typical market range, but in turn we expect to hire most candidates near this baseline. Base pay within the range is ultimately determined by a candidate's skills, expertise, or experience. In the United States, we have three geographic pay zones. For this role, our current base pay ranges for new hires in each zone are:

Zone A: $239,400 - $312,550

Zone B: $216,000 - $282,000

Zone C: $198,900 - $259,675

This role may also be eligible for benefits, bonuses, commissions, and equity.

Please visit go.atlassian.com/payzones for more information on which locations are included in each of our geographic pay zones. However, please confirm the zone for your specific location with your recruiter.
