About The Position

We are seeking an Atlassian Developer to support a high-end Digital Engineering Solutions team delivering capabilities to a Space Systems Command customer. This role focuses on designing, developing, and implementing customized solutions across the Atlassian suite, with an emphasis on Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management (JSM). The Atlassian Developer will translate user and system requirements into scalable, automated workflows and integrations. You will be responsible for building and maintaining custom Jira workflows, automation rules, integrations, and Confluence dashboards to support program execution and operational visibility. This role requires close collaboration with technical teams and stakeholders to implement solutions that improve process efficiency and data-driven decision-making. A strong development mindset is key—this role emphasizes configuration-as-code, API integrations, and extensibility of Atlassian tools, rather than purely administrative oversight.
