Senior Developer Advocate

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.
As a Senior Developer Advocate, you'll be the bridge between Atlassian and the developer community, leading efforts to drive engagement, education, and enablement across our ecosystem. You will represent the voice of developers both internally and externally, crafting content, building relationships, and creating programs that make it easier and more inspiring for developers to build with Atlassian tools. Your work will help developers understand the value of our ecosystem, expand their technical skills, and feel empowered to innovate on our platform.
