Working at Atlassian
Atlassian can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity. Assuming you have eligible working rights and a sufficient time zone overlap with your team, you can choose to work remotely or return to an office as they reopen (unless it’s necessary for your role to be performed in the office). Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.
We have an office in Bengaluru but as we continue to expand our footprint in India, we can hire eligible candidates remotely anywhere in India.Atlassian Creates software that empowers everyone from small start-ups to large enterprises.

You enjoy working in a fast paced environment and you are able to take vague requirements and transform them into solid solutions.

• An open mind to try solutions that may seem crazy at first
