We are looking for an infrastructure engineer who can own our platform end-to-end, from Terraform modules to Kubernetes clusters to production reliability. You'll work across our tech stack—including Rails and Postgres—but your focus will be on building and maintaining the infrastructure that makes our platform reliable, scalable, and secure.

We operate as a high-leverage, lean engineering team within Atlassian. We intentionally keep our headcount small so that every engineer owns a massive surface area and ships at high velocity. This means that each person on our team carries significant weight and responsibility, and must ship a lot. In return, we have great compensation, zero bureaucracy, little to no meetings, and the opportunity to immensely impact the business each day.

Our team is mostly based out of Salt Lake City, so candidates must have at least 5-hours of overlap with Mountain Time zone. We also appreciate candidates who live in Utah or are interested in relocating (most of our team members are transplants).

You'll design and improve our systems architecture, build flexible deployment tooling, and ensure we can ship confidently. At times, you'll work directly with customers in a forward-deployed capacity—helping deploy DX into their environments, architecting solutions for complex infrastructure requirements, and ensuring successful implementations across cloud platforms. When a customer has a tricky networking constraint or compliance requirement, you'll be the one figuring out how to make it work.

• You think holistically about systems. When you see a problem, you don't stop at the infrastructure layer—you'll dig into application code, propose architectural changes, and lead cross-team efforts to solve it properly.

• You have strong experience with infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, and you've built and maintained production Kubernetes clusters (EKS, GKE, or AKS). You know how to design Helm charts that are flexible enough to support multiple environments without becoming unmaintainable.

• You have experience with deployment automation and GitOps practices—ideally with ArgoCD, but strong experience with similar tools works too. You care about making deployments boring and repeatable.

• You're comfortable working directly with customers when needed. You can translate technical constraints into clear language, run deployment calls, and write tactful emails when things go sideways.

• You understand security and compliance requirements. Experience with frameworks like SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA, or ISO 27001 is a plus—you know how to implement controls without grinding development to a halt.

• You're a generalist with depth in infrastructure. You're comfortable across the stack, whether that's debugging a database query, tracing a networking issue, or reviewing application code.

• Your output and work ethic consistently exceed that of your peers, and you want to work on a team where others match your level.

• You're accustomed to carrying a lot of weight: being the first to jump on a production issue, going the extra mile to ship something today instead of tomorrow, or proactively improving systems that aren't technically your responsibility.
