Site Reliability Engineer

Engineering | Full-Time



Overview

We are looking for an engineer who is passionate about scaling Cloud services to join our growing SRE team. The SRE team owns the infrastructure, tooling and automation that Jira, Confluence and Bitbucket Clouds run on, and has a deep understanding of how Atlassian products leverage cloud infrastructure to meet customer reliability expectations.

We'd love it if you had an understanding of modern Cloud infrastructure, programming expertise, operational experience and a desire to change the status quo. We're looking for an engineer who can analyse and help improve our services and processes to get us to an even higher level of reliability, performance, scalability, and cost efficiency.

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

• 1+ years experience operating high-availability, fault-tolerant, scalable, distributed software in production: building monitoring, tweaking dashboards, defining alerts, writing runbooks, etc.
• 1+ years of hands on experience with public cloud offerings.
• Familiarity with Unix / Linux operating systems.
• Strong emphasis to debug, improve code, and automate routine tasks.
• Backend engineering experience in one or more prominent languages such as Java, Go or Python.
• Strong communication skills in written and verbal forms, and an ability to communicate complex technical issues to a range of technical and non-technical audiences (management, peers, clients).

It would be great, but not mandatory if you had:

• Experience in EC2, ASG, Caches, SQS or equivalent in GCP / Azure.
• Experience in datastores (RDBMS, time-series-database, NoSql, search, analytics).
• Experience in microservice architecture.
• Experience building web-services and clients using REST/GraphQL.
• Expertise in JVM, Garbage Collection, and Performance Tuning.

At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable, explainable, and competitive compensation programs. We follow consistent hiring practices and account for each candidate's skills, knowledge, and experience when setting base pay within the range.
