Senior Engineering Manager (Remote)

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.

Responsibilities:

Role

You’ll work closely with our design and product management as well as architecture teams to influence the direction of the product and plan the steps to get there. You’ll be responsible for building effective teams, empowering them to achieve their goals, and putting those goals into broader context. Your greatest responsibility will be looking after the individuals reporting to you – coaching and supporting them in their professional development, unlocking their potential, and challenging them to step outside their comfort zone to grow and excel. As a hands on engineering leader, you will also contribute to the engineering and operational practices and bring in a continuous improvement mindset.

Team Scope

As a senior engineering manager, you will bring in your rich technical and leadership experience in driving a team of 2-3 scrum teams. The overall span of the team would be 10-20 and would be the front line manager role, to start with. As a senior leader, you will work closely with multiple principal engineers, mentor and coach engineers. You will not only drive impactful business outcomes, but also take part actively in driving the technical architecture. As a seasoned leader, you will bring in world class engineering excellence and operational excellence. You’ll also thrive in a challenging and growing business environment that has ambiguity, multiple global dependency footprint and diverse stakeholders.
