More about us

We are the Mobile Foundations team. Atlassian is looking for a Senior Mobile Engineer to design and maintain our mobile libraries and tools, especially with a strong focus on Android & React Native expertise, that enable our product teams to deliver great user experiences.

Your daily work will help our fellow Atlassian engineers (our primary customers) work more productively and deliver effortlessly. Your decisions will directly improve Atlassian's overall product quality and developer experience by building platform capabilities and productivity tools, not just product features.

We're looking for passionate engineers interested in building core mobile app systems, components, and tooling. Someone who cares about customer feedback (our customers are Atlassian engineers) and strives for the best developer experience.

• Build and maintain tools that hundreds of Atlassian mobile engineers rely on daily to ship high-quality work, with a strong focus on Native Android development alongside the React Native ecosystem.
• Contribute to a core piece of the Atlassian developer experience, touching every aspect of the development lifecycle: faster development environments, code integrations, CI/CD pipelines, improving developer productivity, ensuring high code quality, and more.
• Play a crucial role in Atlassian's platform and developer productivity strategy by building guidelines, setting standards, and developing tooling to be applied to mobile code and changes at scale.
• Collaborate closely with internal Atlassian engineers to understand their needs and deliver solutions that enhance their productivity.

• Proficient with React Native and its ecosystem.
• Experience with Kotlin and Java programming languages, and Android UI design principles, patterns, and best practices.
• Experience with Android Studio, Gradle, Git, and other development tools.
• Strong background in CI/CD pipelines, developer productivity tooling, and automation.
• Experience with testing frameworks such as JUnit, Espresso, and Robolectric.
• Experience debugging problems across systems/repositories and designing solutions that scale and span the whole stack.
• Deep understanding of multithreading and concurrency.
• System mindset that considers edge cases, observability, error handling, and integration across external systems.
• Empathy for internal engineer customers and a service mindset for solving fellow engineers' problems.
• Ability to work independently and in a team environment.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work with cross-functional and geographically distributed teams to drive outcomes.
• 6+ years of experience building large-scale mobile applications.

• Experience working on platform teams.
• Advanced CI/CD and automation experience.
• Familiarity with package managers and relevant tooling.
• Bash/shell script experience.
• Knowledge of open-source libraries and frameworks (e.g., for logging, wiring, testing, and building).
• Some industry experience with public cloud offerings (e.g., AWS, GAE, Azure).
