Senior Backend Software Engineer

Atlassian's Connector Platform organization powers how third-party data and applications connect into our products. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help lead the team that owns the front door for all third-party traffic entering the platform: request admission, authentication, connector lifecycle, and the developer SDK that takes a third-party integration from spec to production. You'll help drive down the time it takes to bring a new integration to production, while raising the bar on reliability and security for a system that sits on the public edge of our platform. 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. In this role, you will: Design and build components across a system spanning API gateway, developer SDK/tooling, authentication, and integration lifecycle management. Contribute to the declarative SDK and compiler/codegen pipeline that lets partners build integrations with less custom code. Help build a common gateway for authentication and request admission across all third-party integrations, decoupling platform scaling from product release cycles. Partner with adjacent engineering teams to keep shared identity and tenancy contracts stable as usage grows. Own reliability for your area of the system, including on-call and incident response. Mentor junior engineers and contribute to raising the bar on code and design review. Your background: 7+ years hands-on software engineering experience, with end-to-end ownership through design, build, and operate for platform or infrastructure systems. Experience with or exposure to SDKs, schema/compiler systems, or declarative configuration engines. Experience building or operating gateway/edge systems handling authentication, traffic admission, and third-party integrations at scale. Comfortable owning a service or component end to end, from design through production. Comfortable with a contract-first, public-facing surface mindset. Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
