Atlassian

Lead Principal Software Engineer, Growth

Mountain View, CA / Remote

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.

This is a remote position. To help our teams work together, you will be located in the Pacific, Mountain, or Central time zones in the US/Canada, or in Australia.

Your future team

Our Central Growth team is comprised of people with backgrounds in Engineering, Product, and Data Science. We manage every stage of the growth funnel, from land (a new user landing on the Atlassian website), to cross-flow (introducing a second product to a customer who's already engaged with one of Atlassian's products), to team expansion (a customer adding more team members onto their plan), to churn (a customer leaving Atlassian.)
