Software Architect, Bitbucket Cloud

Job Description

As a Software Architect for Bitbucket Cloud, you will join an engineering-led company and the award-winning leader in software development and collaboration tools. 

This Architect will work with a talented team of Product Managers, Designers, and Developers to reinvent how professional software teams collaborate on code. You'll have a seat at the table to drive innovation by coming up with new and creative ideas to address future challenges. In addition, you'll collaborate with other architects to look for opportunities to improve the architecture of Atlassian's products on the cloud. The primary focus of your role will be to act as a technical leader to direct the future architecture of Bitbucket. This will involve setting the technical direction for multiple teams and working on some of the most difficult challenges we face, including:

  • Leading our transformation from monolith to micro-services and from a data center to public cloud infrastructure
  • Guiding the technical direction for the next generation of Bitbucket's storage infrastructure
  • Helping us make the right trade-offs that balance operational costs with growth & market capture
  • Integrating Bitbucket more deeply with other Atlassian platform microservices

You'll not only be working in but will actively shape our maturing and fast-paced SaaS environment. Our architects also help to champion the engineering culture that directly informs how we build our products. You will be answering: what does the painted picture for the future of cloud development look like and how do we get there? You will help guide developers in understanding what things we worry about when designing a new service, and anything that we shouldn't. You will also collaborate across Atlassian to ensure project dependencies all move in the same direction at the same time.

This is a high-profile, deeply technical role where you'll have a seat at the table with Atlassian's decision makers. It's also a "career-making" role where you'll work on a service used by millions of developers and hundreds of thousands of professional software teams. This will be an incredibly fun and challenging role where you'll be designing distributed systems that operate at enormous scale, with a high growth rate.

This role will benefit from your deep understanding of the latest build, test, deployment, and configuration tools. To succeed, you'll need real-world experience building high-performance, large-scale services (and the scars to prove it). Being passionate about the customer experience, having the ability to ask the tough questions, and being a natural at working across functional areas are traits that will serve you well along with an ability to communicate ideas with developers, stakeholders and the public in both written and spoken form.

More about you

On your first day, we'll expect you to have: (Required skills)

  • Natural acumen around building resilient, scalable systems that use dozens of microservices
  • You are hands-on and have achieved mastery of your craft
  • Deep understanding of application security, web applications, and modern techniques for building software
  • You have engineering discipline to produce software with quality
  • Great communication to build and articulate a technical vision for the product
  • Strong organizational and mentoring skills with experience in leading large projects
  • Proven track record of translating product goals into engineering reality
  • Experience dealing with competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
