Senior Principal Software Engineer

Overview

We're hiring a Senior Principal Engineer to join Atlassian Team Enterprise, reporting to our Head of Engineering, Enterprise Data Center Products. We serve the world's largest and most demanding organisations. Our mission is to ship software that meets the needs of these enterprise-scale customers, so that they remain our greatest advocates.

In this position you will set the technical direction for the Enterprise Data Center business unit, influencing over 200 engineers. You will own the hardest cross-team technical problems, from strategy and prioritisation through design, architecture and coding.

The world's largest organisations trust Data Center to run their most critical work. You will make sure it stays secure and dependable for every one of them, while building the tools that help them move to Cloud when they are ready. Your work will span long-term security and maintainability, platform modernisation, Marketplace compatibility, migration readiness and AI-driven engineering efficiency.

A great day for you is one where you show our engineers, in practice, how to solve a particularly complex problem with an elegant solution. You will engage them with your research and your experience of tools, stacks, libraries, design patterns and code. Your best days are the ones when complete teams of engineers follow your lead in finding the best solutions, and are motivated to improve what we ship and how we ship it.
