2 days ago
Overview
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.
About The Team
The Search Runtime team powers the intelligence behind Rovo search — Atlassian's next-generation AI assistant — delivering real-time, ML-powered search across Jira, Confluence, and all Atlassian cloud products. We build and operate the high-performance, low-latency systems that make Rovo's search fast, context-aware, and reliable for millions of users.
Responsibilities
What You'll Do
- Lead and grow a high-performing engineering team based in ANZ, building the core runtime for ML-powered search at Atlassian scale.
- Architect and optimize distributed systems for very low latency, high reliability, and cost efficiency.
- Accelerate developer and experiment loops for ML-driven search—enabling rapid iteration, A/B testing, and fast deployment of new ranking models and features.
- Collaborate closely with ML engineers, product, and AI teams to turn research into production quickly.
- Drive technical strategy and execution for search infrastructure, ensuring Rovo delivers instant, relevant answers across all enterprise knowledge.
- Foster a culture of engineering excellence, continuous learning, and innovation.
Qualifications
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience leading engineering teams (4+ years) running business-critical, distributed systems in search, information retrieval, or ML-powered platforms domains.
- Deep technical expertise in building and operating large-scale, low-latency systems.
- Track record of enabling fast, iterative delivery and experimentation for ML or search features.
- Passion for mentoring, developing talent, and building inclusive, high-performing teams. Experience cultivating teams where people love working together, exceed their own expectations and are able to transform the experience for their customers.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence across engineering, product, and AI research.
Why Join Us?
- Shape the future of AI-powered search and knowledge discovery at Atlassian.
- Work with world-class engineers on cutting-edge distributed systems and ML challenges.
- Make a direct impact on how teams everywhere find and use knowledge.
- Be at the heart of Atlassian's AI transformation, powering Rovo and the next wave of intelligent teamwork.
