Head of Engineering, Enterprise Trust

Posted Jun 4

Working at Atlassian

Atlassian can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity. Assuming you have eligible working rights and a sufficient time zone overlap with your team, you can choose to work remotely or from an office (unless it’s necessary for your role to be performed in the office). Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

Atlassian is a leading provider of collaboration, development, and issue-tracking software for teams. With over 100,000 global customers (including 85 of the Fortune 100), we’re advancing the power of collaboration with products including Jira, ITSM, Confluence, Bitbucket, Trello, Stride, and more. Driven by honest values, an amazing culture, and consistent revenue growth, we’re out to unleash the potential of every team.

As a senior member of the Enterprise Trust R&D leadership team, you'll be responsible for leading Engineering teams to deliver key new features for enterprise customers, and to expand the depth of existing features. You will be leading a rapidly growing team, building a team culture of quality, innovation, efficiency, and initiative, with a relentless focus on customer needs. You will partner with product and design leadership to take full ownership of business outcomes. Your 80+ strong team will be responsible to develop features specific to regulated industries (FedRAMP, HIPAA, etc), policy-driven controls, and change management amongst others.

You’ll be fully engaged and challenged, merging your real-world business instincts and understanding with technical skills to innovate and impact the company. You are comfortable working across multiple disciplines within a dynamic, fast-growing company to deliver awesome outcomes. You'll bring order and focus while leaving room for flexibility and innovation.

The ideal candidate has led highly effective development teams of managers, engineers, and architects in the cloud software space. You'll benefit from extensive technical prowess in the cloud-native space, with experience operating at scale across a diverse set of technologies. The role will also require exceptional written and verbal communication in the pursuit of driving the mission forward.

On Your First Day, We'll Expect You to Have:

  • Extensive engineering management experience, following Agile development processes with history shipping cloud services, preferably in a platform
  • Experience as an engineering leader driving outcomes through influence on other teams, some of which are not co-located.
  • Experience managing managers, and a track record of successfully scaling organizations
  • Experience building and nurturing cultures of operational excellence, shipping high quality products to enterprise customers
  • Experience in building new teams from scratch
  • Ability to define and effectively communicate technical vision, and inspire the organization around a shared vision for success
  • Ability to communicate directly and clearly, with a strong emphasis on careful listening.
  • Previous exposure to making business-level tradeoffs, balancing the needs of our customers with those of our business and clearly communicating the rationale behind your decisions.
  • Good instincts matched with deep analytical thinking. You're comfortable defining and tracking key business and usage success metrics, but also recognize that metrics never tell the whole story.
  • Real passion to understand customer needs and a strong motivation to solve their problems rather than focussing on technology as an end in itself.
  • U.S. Bachelor or higher degree, or its equivalent, in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems Management or a closely related field of study.
  • 15+ years of experience working in software engineering organizations.
  • 8+ years of Engineering leadership, including hiring and leading leaders.
