You will use Jira Service Management to manage workflows and asset management. The Atlassian SME must have an expert understanding of Atlassian products including Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management. You should be a skilled user of the Microsoft Office suite with special focus on MS Word, MS Excel and MS PowerPoint. In this position you will work closely with highly technical operations and maintenance personnel and will decipher requirements based on their input. You will use coding skills such as JQL, SQL, and HTML to build custom products. Experience building Atlassian plug-ins/applications is a plus. The ability to work with Java and Java Script will be helpful. A background in the DoD, especially acquisition, is highly desired. The Atlassian SME will require excellent interpersonal skills to work with team members, work through varying opinions on the way to create complex workflows and dashboards and support the iterative evolution of products.
