[Atlassian] Developer Evangelist


Developer Evangelist

Location: San Francisco
Job Code: QHP-678
# of openings: 1

Description

Atlassian's development tools, like JIRA, Bitbucket and HipChat, help teams write code faster, smarter and more reliably. We want to bring that advantage to every development team in the world. We're improving the whole software industry, one team at a time.

Atlassian's tools are already used by millions of developers around the world. So if you want to improve the way software development gets done, there's no better way to do it than with the Atlassian Platform.

Our partners have made millions of dollars through our Marketplace. As an Atlassian Developer Evangelist, you'll build the platform that these developers will be building on for the next ten years and you'll promote that platform to developers around the world.

We're embarking on ambitious new project to completely re-build the Atlassian add-on platform for modern web services. It's called Atlassian Connect, and you can read more about it in the docs

You'll work side-by-side with our team of platform developers to ensure that we're creating an API that you'll love to work with. Help us build a modern, web-native, API-focused platform from the ground up. Craft the developer experience that will wow every developer who wants to build on our platform.

Platforms are pointless if no one builds on them, so this is not simply a developer role. Your team is responsible for building and growing the platform. You'll succeed with the developer experience you help build as well as the success of the developers who come through that experience. 

What you'll do:

  • Spend half of your time building and half of your time writing and talking about what you did.
  • Build cool shit and showcase what's possible by example.
  • Craft a developer experience for your platform that is smooth and elegant.
  • Get out there – attend and present to technical conferences and meetups around the world.
  • Recruit and nurture new developers for the Atlassian platform.
  • Cultivate relationships with developers in our ecosystem and represent their needs.
  • Help structure, organize and run Atlassian's global developer events.

You're a good fit:

  • Motivated, no-bullshit self-starter. Enthusiastic, creative, and pragmatic.
  • Code chops: at least two years development experience in a software company. Java experience helpful.
  • Passionate about the web as a platform.
  • First-hand understanding of Agile development methods.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Bonus points if you've spoken and written publicly (e.g., conference speaker, blogger, etc.).
  • Ideally focused on developer or technical team oriented technologies and products.
  • Excellent prioritization skills to identify and deliver the most important things first.
  • BS/BA degree, CS desired or equivalent work experience.
  • Willingness to travel (one week/month).

Show us something:

  • Bitbucket or GitHub repository
  • Slides or videos of a talk you gave
  • Tech-related Twitter account
  • Blog post on a technical topic
  • Documentation you created
  • API you designed, or just one you think is really good
