Senior Site Reliability Engineer

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.
We are looking for a Senior engineer who is passionate about scaling Cloud services to join our growing SRE team. The SRE team owns the Caching infrastructure, tooling and automation that supports Atlassian's suite of Cloud products.
The ideal candidate is a technical leader who is aware of current industry trends (particularly those related to reliability). You have experience mentoring and growing team members and love to share your knowledge with others. We'd love it if you brought a deep understanding of modern Cloud infrastructure, programming expertise, operational experience and a desire to change the status quo. We're looking for an engineer who can analyze and help improve our services and processes to get us to an even higher level of reliability, performance, scalability, and cost efficiency.
On your first day, we'll expect you to have:

• 3+ years experience operating high-availability, fault-tolerant, scalable, distributed software in production: building monitoring, tweaking dashboards, defining alerts, writing runbooks, etc.
• 3+ years of hands on experience with public cloud offerings (AWS components like EC2, CloudFormation, RDS / Aurora, Caches, SQS - or equivalents, e.g. in GCP / Azure).
• Familiarity with Unix / Linux operating systems.
• Strong emphasis to debug, improve code, and automate routine tasks.
• Strong backend engineering experience in one or more prominent languages such as Java, Go or Python.
• Excellent communication skills in written and verbal forms, and an ability to communicate complex technical issues to a range of technical and non-technical audiences (management, peers, clients).
• An ability and desire to mentor and coach engineers.

It would be great, but not mandatory if you had:

• Expertise in caching solutions, strategies, and best practices.
• Experience in microservice architecture.
• Experience building web-services and clients using REST/GraphQL.

Compensation
At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable, explainable, and competitive compensation programs. To support this goal, the baseline of our range is higher than that of the typical market range, but in turn we expect to hire most candidates near this baseline. Base pay within the range is ultimately determined by a candidate's skills, expertise, or experience. In the United States, we have three geographic pay zones. For this role, our current base pay ranges for new hires in each zone are:
Zone A: $192,400 - $230,900
Zone B: $173,200 - $207,800
Zone C: $159,700 - $191,600
This role may also be eligible for benefits, bonuses, commissions, and equity.
