Senior Infrastructure Software Engineer | DX
About The Position
We are looking for a senior infrastructure engineer who can own our platform end-to-end, from Terraform modules to Kubernetes clusters to scalable architecture. You'll work across our tech stack—including Rails and Postgres—but your focus will be on building and maintaining the infrastructure that makes our platform reliable, scalable, and secure. We operate as a high-leverage, lean engineering team within Atlassian. We intentionally keep our headcount small so that every engineer owns a massive surface area and ships at high velocity. This means that each person on our team carries significant weight and responsibility, and must ship a lot. In return, we have great compensation, zero bureaucracy, little to no meetings, and the opportunity to immensely impact the business each day. Our team is mostly based out of Salt Lake City, so candidates must have at least 5-hours of overlap with Mountain Time zone. This is a full time, remote role across USA.
Requirements
- Think holistically about systems, digging into application code, proposing architectural changes, and leading cross-team efforts to solve problems
- Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code using Terraform
- Experience building and maintaining production Kubernetes clusters (EKS, GKE, or AKS)
- Experience designing Helm charts that are flexible enough to support multiple environments without becoming unmaintainable
- Experience with deployment automation and GitOps practices (ideally with ArgoCD, but strong experience with similar tools works too)
- Experience managing high-availability database infrastructure, specifically focusing on PostgreSQL performance tuning, scaling, and automated failover strategies
- Comfortable working directly with customers when needed, translating technical constraints into clear language, running deployment calls, and writing tactful emails when things go sideways
- Understanding of security and compliance requirements
- Generalist with depth in infrastructure, comfortable across the stack, designing automated failover systems or optimizing CI/CD pipelines, tracing a networking issue, or reviewing application code
- Consistently exceed the output and work ethic of peers
- Accustomed to carrying a lot of weight: proactively identifying and resolving systemic bottlenecks before they impact production, going the extra mile to ship something today instead of tomorrow, or proactively improving systems that aren't technically your responsibility
Nice To Haves
- Experience with frameworks like SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA, or ISO 27001
Responsibilities
- Design and improve our systems architecture
- Build flexible deployment tooling
- Build self-service platforms that enable developers to ship confidently
- Work directly with customers in a forward-deployed capacity—helping deploy DX into their environments, architecting solutions for complex infrastructure requirements, and ensuring successful implementations across cloud platforms
- Figure out how to make solutions work for customers with tricky networking constraints or compliance requirements
Benefits
- Health and wellbeing resources
- Paid volunteer days
