About The Position

We're seeking a detail-oriented and technically proficient Atlassian Systems Administrator to join our team. This role owns and evolves the company's Atlassian Cloud platform – Jira Cloud, Confluence Cloud, Atlassian Guard/Access, and the broader Atlassian Cloud ecosystem – as the foundation for how teams across Veracity, Insurance Canopy, and InsCipher plan, track, and execute work. This remote role serves as the organization's internal Atlassian Cloud expert, partnering with Engineering, Operations, Customer Support, Compliance, and business leaders to translate workflows into well-designed, scalable system solutions. The goal is to make the Atlassian Cloud platform a force multiplier for the organization – reducing manual work through automation, standardizing how teams operate, surfacing real-time visibility through dashboards, and enabling adjacent tools to integrate cleanly with Atlassian Cloud as the system of record.
