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.

With a sufficient timezone overlap with the team, we're able to hire eligible candidates for this role from any location in Australia and New Zealand. If this sparks your interest, apply today and chat with our friendly Recruitment team further.

Information is a powerful and essential element of the user experience. For developers, this is even more true – without great documentation, it is nearly impossible to build new apps, services, and products.

At Atlassian, we look at the way we communicate technical information to our internal and third-party developers as an end-to-end journey. This journey begins as developers get started with building on the Atlassian stack, and ends with a living set of reference materials that answer any question they may have as they build, launch, monitor, and support their work.

This is not a traditional technical writing role. As part of the Developer Experience team at Atlassian, you'll be empowered to experiment with a variety of approaches to creating information in the documentation, supporting materials, and anywhere else our developers experience information.

More about you

This job is for someone who thinks bigger than traditional software documentation. You can explain complex features and capabilities in ways that are useful for experienced audiences, but which are also helpful and approachable for more novice readers getting into the domain or learning a new API.

We are looking for candidates who love to work with teams to ensure they are providing a great information experience for developers. Someone who is ready to not only own the documentation for their domain, but also contribute to and help drive projects that benefit the larger developer experience community here at Atlassian.

What you'll have:

  • proficiency in technical writing skills
  • you'll be able to read, write, and verify code samples (e.g., JavaScript, Java, Python)
  • you will know standard web-based publishing tools (e.g., Markdown, HTML, CSS, XML)
  • also, you will know standard developer tools (e.g., Git, Bitbucket, Bamboo)
  • experience documenting APIs, writing code samples, tutorials, and other technical content related to building or extending products and apps

  • As a bonus, you will have:
  • a background in engineering/software development
  • able to creatively engaging with developer audiences
  • experience working on cross-product documentation
  • the ability to challenge yourself and others
  • experience in improving or building both information architectures and content strategies for documentation
  • experience with usability testing, card sorting, and other techniques to ensure that your work is not just accurate, but that it is also effective for your target audience

What you'll do:

  • work with a cross-functional team to define platform features
  • own end-to-end documentation processes and creation within your squad
  • work with other technical writers across the Ecosystem Platform org
  • help shape overall writing operations and standards


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.
