The posting

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.

We are looking for an experienced Head of Engineering to lead a departmental engineering organization. In this role, you will lead a distributed team of 40–80+ engineers across multiple teams, managing both Engineering Managers and Senior Staff/Principal ICs.

Operating at a department-level scope, you will partner closely with your Triad peers (Product Management and Product Design) and cross-functional partners to set multi-year technical and organizational strategy, deliver complex multi-quarter OKRs, and ensure operational excellence across high-scale distributed systems.

Responsibilities: What You’ll Do

  • Strategic & Triad Leadership: Partner with Product, Design, and program leaders to define the vision, strategic roadmap, and funded execution plans for your department.
  • Organizational Design & Scale: Build, structure, and evolve high-performing engineering teams; recruit, mentor, and coach Engineering Managers and senior technical leaders.
  • Delivery & OKR Ownership: Drive accountability for significant company-level and department-level OKRs, balancing feature delivery, technical debt, platform stability, and enterprise scale.
  • Technical Stewardship & Architecture: Guide long-term architectural decisions, reliability, and security standards across multiple services and systems in a modern cloud environment.
  • Cross-Organizational Influence: Navigate high-level cross-team dependencies, driving alignment across platform, product, and infrastructure organizations to find win/win trade-offs.
  • Culture & Operational Excellence: Foster an inclusive, high-trust engineering culture with a strong bias for action, continuous improvement, and rigorous operational and on-call hygiene.

Qualifications: On Your First Day, We'll Expect You to Have

  • 10+ years of software development and engineering management experience.
  • 3+ years of experience as a manager-of-managers, with a proven track record of scaling organizations of 50+ engineers.
  • 5+ years of experience building and operating large-scale SaaS/PaaS/cloud platforms in complex, distributed environments.
  • Strategic Execution: Demonstrated experience defining and delivering on multi-quarter roadmaps and translating high-level business ambiguity into clear, funded execution plans.
  • Triad & Stakeholder Collaboration: Proven ability to build influential relationships with Product, Design, and executive leadership.
  • Communication: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to both technical and executive audiences.
  • Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

Great If You Have (Preferred Qualifications)

  • Experience leading globally distributed teams across multiple time zones and geographies.
  • Background in modern data/ML platforms, enterprise readiness, developer experience, or core platform infrastructure.
  • Track record of driving continuous delivery, observability, and modern DevOps/SRE best practices at scale.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
