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, Golang, 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 capabilities as a developer, which is all we need to make an accurate assessment for this role.

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

Drive large, complex projects autonomously, from technical design to launch

Determine plans-of-attack on large projects

Tackle complex architecture challenges, apply architectural standards and start using them on new projects

Lead code reviews & documentation as well as take on complex bug fixes, especially on high-risk problems
