Senior Java Developers

at Atlassian in Sydney

Please submit your application through our website. Please do not use the apply button below.

Do you have a passion for developing great software? Do you love to solve hard problems? Do you know how to write robust and reliable systems? Can you ensure performance, quality and security aspects while delivering a product that delivers an awesome user experience? Do you enjoy learning about new technology, discussing innovative ideas with your peers, coming up with great product solutions and passing on your knowledge to others frequently? We should get in touch!

As a Java Developer at Atlassian, you will be working in a small team with talented UI developers and designers, with product managers who have a good feeling for what customers want, and with performance engineers and quality analysts who give your creations a good beating before they are released to thousands of customers worldwide. You will be involved in all the technical discussions, drive new innovative ideas of designing software systems, and make calls on what is feasible and what is not.

We require everyone to be well-rounded and continuously learn new things. One of the many things you could do is for example to pick up good CSS/HTML and JQuery skills over time. But this role also allows you to deep-dive into hard backend-issues frequently. So when gnarly performance problems and architectural challenges are looming, you’ll be the one who delivers the solution!

What You’ll Do

• Engage with other developers, front-end designers, product managers and performance engineers
• Liaise with the technical leads and architects to promote great software design and quality
• Drive innovation by coming up with new and surprising ideas for our products and processes
• Develop awesome new features front to back as part of a team

• Point out issues with the existing architecture and code, and clean it up

Required Skills

• Excellent understanding of J2SE
• Deep architectural understanding of Java web applications and application servers
• Good knowledge in some back end technologies like Spring, Hibernate, Lucene, SQL or others
• Superior creative and innovative problem-solving skills

• Initiative and the ability to work independently and in a team

Preferred Skills

• Knowledge in some of the standard front end technologies like CSS, JavaScript (we use JQuery), REST, JSON
• Knowledge of Open Source libraries, tools and frameworks, e.g. for logging, wiring, testing, building. The more the merrier!
• Excitement for the latest trends in application design
• Experience with agile software development methodologies like XP and Scrum

• Interest to learn more about new languages and frameworks

Senior Developer Super Powers

As you see, the senior developer role has all the requirements of the regular developer role. On top of that, you’ll need some Senior developer superpowers:

• Broad knowledge and understanding of the industry
• Wide experience of successful and failed projects
• Ability to slice and dice problems so they can be worked on by several people
• Desire and ability to mentor junior developers

• Relaxed yet enthusiastic attitude

Typical Experience

• 5 to 10 years (or more) in a professional Java development role

Your Dream Job

With offices in Sydney, San Fransisco, Amsterdam and Gdansk we offer global opportunities and the chance to work with like-minds from different cultures. Each day you come to work at Atlassian, you will be coming to work in an open plan office filled with lots of natural light. When you are not sitting in your comfy ergonomic Aeron chair, working on your large LCD monitors and the operating system of your choice, there will be plenty of decisions to make. Maybe you’d like to participate in a lunchtime card game? Would you rather play a Wii Sports game or be a guitar hero? If hunger strikes, head to the kitchen for drinks, fresh fruit, snacks and more. Your choice!
