Overview

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.

Your future team: Trello Platform
The Trello Platform team is dedicated to making life better for Trello engineers so they, in turn, can make life better for Trello users. We focus on code health, developer experience and tooling, build and deploy pipelines, and much more! We also own several of the horizontal capabilities within the Trello app itself, like Routing, reusable business logic, and global styles.  Our work is a mix of self-directed investments (like strengthening our code quality posture and modernizing our frameworks and tooling) and cross-team initiatives around security, compliance, and platform alignment. If you enjoy leveling up systems, smoothing rough edges, and building tools that help other engineers move faster with confidence, Trello Platform is a collaborative, welcoming place to do exactly that.
