Backend Software Engineer

Description:

Atlassian

To help unleash the potential of every team

G’day, we’re Atlassian. We make tools like Jira and Trello that are used by thousands of teams worldwide. And we’re serious about creating amazing products, practices, and open work for all teams.

Wait, I don't have Java experience and you still want to interview me? That's right! At Atlassian, we hire engineers that can demonstrate their ability to learn and keep up with new and emerging technologies. It's true that Atlassian's stack is primarily written in Java and in the role you'll be coding primarily in Java, but we do believe in using the right tools for the job rather than being tied to the tool (e.g. Java). We happen to have a variety of languages within our stack including Kotlin, Python, and Ruby.For the interview process, we want to see you at your best. This means that during the interview, we want you to code in whatever language you feel you're best at. This will give us a sense of your skills as a developer, which is all we need to make a proper assessment for this role.

In this role, you'll get the chance to:

• Drive projects independently, from technical design to launch
• Apply architectural standards and start using them on new projects
• Contribute to code reviews & documentation as well as take on complex bug fixes
• Begin writing useful technical documentation - Learn and code in Java
• Mentor more junior members

Sound like an exciting opportunity? We think so too... In order to set you up for impact on day one, we'll expect you to have this on your first day:

• You will not be required to know a specific programming language, however experience with a prominent language such as Java, Python, C#, C/C++, or Ruby is crucial.
• Deep understanding of data structures, in particular, how they are implemented and how to apply them to solve problems
• Passion for collaborating, tackling hard problems and not being afraid to ask questions
• A real appetite for learning and growing, both as a developer and teammate.
