Senior Engineering Manager

Ecosystem Extensibility & Manageability organisation is looking for a seasoned Sr.Manager with expertise in backend tech stack to lead Auth & Permissions domain in Forge Platform.

Working at Atlassian

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.

In this role, you will:

• Inspire innovation and operational excellence

• Own the delivery of critical projects in a microservices environment

• Be the engineering voice in our quarterly planning process

• Build an open, trusting, operationally mature culture

• Participate in hiring planning and other budgeting exercises

• Collaborate in technical/architectural discussions, provide direction and drive decision-making

Your Background:

• You have experience leading a high-performing team of engineers, including managing and shipping cross-functional or multi-team projects.

• You enjoy collaborating with Product Management and UX Design on the product discovery & delivery lifecycle.

• You have a passion for understanding customers and their needs, and encourage engineers to do the same.

• You've done backend application development on a SaaS product with current tools & technologies (Java/NodeJS, GraphQL, Kotlin, etc). You're endlessly curious about the technologies your team works with and strive to keep your technical knowledge sharp — but you also feel comfortable knowing your greatest impact won't be as a technical contributor.

• You're able to spar with senior engineers on systems design, pulling from your background as a hands-on engineer.

• You place a tremendous value on good communication and appreciate async- and remote-friendly working practices. You know how to pick the right communication tool for the problem at hand (chat, video, email, etc.).

• You understand methodologies like Agile, XP, and Lean, and see their value, but don't believe there's only one right way to get work done.

• You are comfortable with the pace and trade offs of early product development. You know how to take care of yourself and your team, get your work done without working around the clock, prioritize ruthlessly, and tolerate a little uncertainty.

• You have a Bachelor or higher degree, or its equivalent, in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems Management or a closely related field of study.
