Your Future Team

Site Reliability is a rapidly growing group within the organisation. We are in the process of building our teams, tools, and systems as part of Atlassian's mission to build the best SaaS services in the world. Site Reliability Engineering is at the core of learning for the company, enabling Atlassian to go fast by providing real time feedback on production systems.

This is a truly exciting team to join - we are currently or are planning to be involved with every technical team across Atlassian!

• Investigate and really sink your teeth into why something didn't work out the way it should! From gaining deep technical knowledge to working on automation, monitoring, and virtualised delivery systems, your opportunities for work and play at Atlassian are endless. We guarantee you'll never be bored!
• Some of the technologies you'll get to work with are Apache, Nginx, Bash, Linux, AWS, virtualisation technologies, Nagios, Python, Java, Puppet, and yes, Atlassian products too.
