How We Work

Our software is Java-based, but many of our developers love other languages too. We actively debate best practice and push for improvements. Change is driven by individuals. We have 20% Time and quarterly hackfests that let you show off your creativity and passion.

Love Going to Work?

Imagine working in a place where you get to do what you love every day. We are a seven-year young software development company revolutionising the way software is sold and used by businesses world-wide. With a range of innovative software products, we have over 15,000 customers globally including NASA, Sony, the Apache Foundation and the United Nations. We are building a different kind of software company — one that listens to client needs, values innovation and solves customer problems with brilliant simplicity.

We are not your typical company and proud of it! If you start your career with Australia’s fastest growing global software company, you can expect a fast paced and exciting work environment which stays true to our entrepreneurial roots. You won’t get frustrated with bureaucracy and slow decision making, and we encourage creative thinking. We want to know your opinion — on everything we do!

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!
