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.
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.
You can explain complex features and capabilities in ways that are useful for experienced audiences, but which are also helpful 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. 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 documentation community here at Atlassian.
