Senior Security & Identity Architect

San Francisco, CA / Remote

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.

We're looking for an experienced, strategic and innovative Senior Security & Identity Architect to be based within the ANZ region. You'll lead the expansion of the company's use of identity services and drive improvements across our workplace security posture.
You'll act as a trusted partner between IT and business (Engineering, Security, Compliance and Risk to name a few) teams to deliver enterprise-level solutions that delight internal customers and maintain technical consistency across the organiaation.

As a Senior Security & Identity Architect in our Workplace Technology team, you will work as part of a growing global team to deliver world-class technology and drive our security and identity governance journey. We are looking for an experienced Architect, to help guide the design, adoption and development of highly scalable business application solutions across Atlassian and our identity & access management tooling.

More about you:

We love people with a healthy balance of technical ability and a passion for helping users. You research and play with new technologies in your spare time, and you know how to translate complex technical ideas for non-technical people. You don't take things at face value because "that's the way they are done," but rather seek to understand the reasons and then take steps to improve. You are tenacious in pursuit of understanding, getting to the bottom of an issue to prevent it from recurring and help the team by documenting your journey and successes.

  • You are well-versed in architectural disciplines and have designed high-performance, large and scalable enterprise systems
  • You are a passionate technologist who stays updated across industry trends, competition and innovation
  • You are a self-starter with a mindset for innovation and taking calculated risks
  • You foster a culture of trust and collaboration between disparate teams to work together to achieve a common goal

On your first day, we'll expect you to have:

  • 8+ years of professional Security & Identity experience with 5+ years as an Architect
  • Ability to translate business needs into requirements, design documents and technical solutions
  • Experience designing security and identity experience for 10,000+ headcount organisations
  • Understanding of IAM and PAM architectures including familiarity with Sailpoint IdentityNow and Cyberark Privileged Cloud
  • Deep understanding of Zero Trust, SD WAN and SASE approaches and platforms
  • Knowledge about API design standards, patterns and best-practices.
  • Experience with AWS infrastructure and/or Microservices
  • Experience with LDAP platforms such as Active Directory
  • Ability to convey ideas effectively through verbal and written communication
  • Well-developed interpersonal, written and verbal communication
  • Experience working with information security, compliance and audit teams

It is great, but not required, if you have experience with:

  • Experience managing and operating identity access platforms like Okta or CyberArk
  • Experience designing integrations between SaaS platforms and Atlassian products
