Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.
Atlassian is looking for an Associate Machine Learning Scientist to join our Core Machine Learning team based in Mountain View, CA. The Core Machine Learning team builds production machine learning infrastructure and modeling solutions through the end-to-end ML development cycle to produce revenue and MAU improvements across several departments. We offer a unique opportunity to work in a collaborative environment, implementing the latest machine learning techniques, including NLP modeling, to solve tough, yet unique problems in the marketing space.
Your future teamYou'll be a member of the Core Machine Learning team, partnering with the Search Engine Optimization and Content teams to build and ship production machine learning and data science solutions using natural language processing to boost the search engine ranking of Atlassian's websites, boost web traffic, and guide creation and enhancement of marketing content. Your work will help millions of web visitors across a broad range of Atlassian web properties find the content they're looking for.

What you'll do

• Work with our large volume of analytics data to understand insightful trends and behaviors
• Craft machine learning and predictive models to automatically identify web content enhancement opportunities that boost SEO standing of pages and increase web traffic
• Apply and refine NLP techniques to power content creation and automatic content cross-linking using textual data

• Experience in Python, familiarity with SQL, knowledge of Spark and cloud data environments (e.g. AWS, Databricks)
• Explain data science and machine learning concepts to diverse audiences and create a compelling story
