As a Senior Software Engineer, you will build AI-powered solutions, develop reusable components, mentor teammates, and ensure the performance of backend services.
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.
About the team
The Cloud Access & Intelligence (CAI) org at Atlassian focuses on AI-first solutions that simplify admin experiences, automate workflows, and enhance customer support through intelligent agents. We're pushing the boundaries of LLM-based features, prompt engineering, and AI-driven automation to tackle complex customer and admin challenges. We're a tight-knit team of ~10 engineers across Sydney and India.
