Are you ready to shape the future of Atlassian’s encryption services?
The Encryption department is seeking a Senior Principal Architect or Engineer (P70) to spearhead the architecture of our next-generation encryption services.

Why Join Us?

• Impact: Your work will define the foundation for secure, scalable, and flexible encryption services used by millions.

• Collaboration: Work alongside some of Atlassian’s top technical leaders and present at industry events.

• Growth: Opportunity to influence the technical roadmap and mentor the next generation of engineering talent.

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.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the architecture for cloud-agnostic and self-hosted storage and search infrastructure in the encryption space.

• Design and build Kubernetes-native services that meet the evolving needs of Atlassian’s cloud and on-prem customers.

• Drive technical direction for a critical pillar, collaborating with senior engineers and stakeholders across the company.

• Mentor and influence engineering teams, setting standards for security, scalability, and operational excellence.

What We’re Looking For

• 14+ years of experience designing and building enterprise-grade solutions using microservices (Java, Kotlin, C++, Golang, etc.).

• Proven track record in large-scale web software and transformational architecture projects.

• Experience with Kubernetes-native architectures and cloud-agnostic design patterns.

• Ability to provide clarity and direction in ambiguous environments, and drive long-term product planning.

• Strong leadership in cross-team technical initiatives and mentoring senior engineers.

Compensation

At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable, explainable, and competitive compensation programs. To support this goal, the baseline of our range is higher than that of the typical market range, but in turn we expect to hire most candidates near this baseline.

For this role, our current base pay ranges for new hires in each zone are:

Zone A: $239,400 - $312,550

Zone B: $216,000 - $282,000

This role may also be eligible for benefits, bonuses, commissions, and equity.
