Overview:

Working at Atlassian

Atlassians can choose where they work – whether in an office, from home, or a combination of the two. That way, Atlassians have more control over supporting their family, personal goals, and other priorities. We can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

Responsibilities:

Atlassian is looking for a Senior Principal Data Engineer to join our Go-To Market Data Engineering (GTM-DE) team which is responsible for building our data lake, maintaining our big data pipelines / services and facilitating the movement of billions of messages each day. We work directly with the business stakeholders and plenty of platform and engineering teams to enable growth and retention strategies at Atlassian. We are looking for an open-minded, structured thinker who is passionate about building services that scale.

On a typical day you will help our stakeholder teams ingest data faster into our data lake, you’ll find ways to make our data pipelines more efficient, or even come up ideas to help instigate self-serve data engineering within the company. Then you will move on to building micro-services, architecting, designing, and enabling self serve capabilities at scale to help Atlassian grow.

We are a team with little legacy in our tech stack and as a result you’ll spend less time paying off technical debt and more time identifying ways to make our data usable and improve our users experience.

Qualifications:

As a Senior Principal Data Engineer in the GTM-DE team, you will have the opportunity to apply your strong technical experience building highly reliable services on managing and orchestrating a multi-petabyte scale data lake. You enjoy working in a fast paced environment and you are able to take vague requirements and transform them into solid solutions. You are motivated by solving challenging problems, where creativity is as crucial as your ability to write code and test cases.

On your first day, we'll expect:

You have 18+ years of experience in a Data Engineer role as an individual contributor.
You have at least 7 years of experience as a tech lead for Data Engineering teams, and delivered complex, cross-team initiatives.
You have built durable relationships with executives/senior leaders across Sales, Marketing, Finance, Commerce and related organizations, and understand complexities of data in these organizations.
You are an engineer with a track record of driving and delivering large complex, multi-team efforts.
You are a great communicator and maintain many of the essential cross-team and cross-functional relationships necessary for the team's success.
Experience with building streaming pipelines with a micro-services architecture for low-latency analytics.
Experience working with varied forms of data infrastructure, including relational databases (e.g. SQL), Spark, dbt, and column stores (e.g. Redshift)
Experience building scalable data pipelines using Spark using Airflow scheduler/executor framework or similar scheduling tools.
Experience working in a technical environment with the latest technologies like AWS data services (Redshift, Athena, EMR) or similar Apache projects (Spark, Flink, Hive, or Kafka).
Understanding of Data Engineering tools/frameworks and standards to improve the productivity and quality of output for Data Engineers across the team.
Industry experience working with large-scale, high-performance data processing systems (batch and streaming) with a "Streaming First" mindset to drive Atlassian's business growth and improve the product experience.

We'd be super excited if you have

Experience implementing Master Data Management (MDM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions.
Built pipelines using Databricks and is well-versed with their APIs.
Contributed to open source projects
