As a Client Architect you’ll be the technical authority on products that are revolutionizing the software industry and helping teams collaborate and create that magic in delivering their best work. Think Nasa launching the Roveron Mars or Cochlear gifting children born deaf with the ability to hear, your work directly impacts the products they use to advance humanity. The primary focus of your role will be to own the broad technical direction of HipChat's clients and ensure they are evolving and sustainable for the long term. You'll need a strong technical prowess with incredible coding ability across a diverse set of languages and technologies, a deep understanding of architecture and a ability to foresee and plan for changes, and be a great communicator. You need to be able to translate your deep technical skills to influence other developers, product managers and senior managers to ensure the team understands the vision, is onboard with it, and is moving towards achieving the product’s ongoing goals. With the rapidly changing software industry, you’ll be constantly learning and improving your own skills and knowledge, which will ultimately help to grow our products and advance humanity through the power of software.

 

More about you

Typical questions include inquiries on time sheets and vacation balances (non-exempt employees), taxes and direct deposit. The Payroll Manager will also count on you to help with special projects which may include system upgrades or enhancements, quarterly or year-end audits and process improvements.

Location: Austin
Job Code: QHP-675
# of openings: 1

Description

Love staying ahead of the growth curve and experimenting with new software and environments? Get on board as an Atlassian Systems Engineer. As part of a project team, you’ll be testing and deciding on technologies to use, proof of concepts, along with production roll-outs and implementations. You’ll design and build solutions to solve technical problems--small and large--from BAU, fault finding/fixing and hardware issues to application trouble shooting. Some projects might include: implementing hardware or virtualized delivery systems, automation (like provisioning systems), monitoring and data collection network design and connectivity web and proxy services, email routing, DNS, and configuration management (we use fab, puppet, FAI).

The best person for this role is someone that is an objective decision-maker with a collaborative spirit. And in our world, it’s not about being a hero and having all the answers, it’s about sometimes saying "I don't know" and working on finding solutions rather than starting with an assumption. This role would be a great fit for someone that likes to see concrete results from their work as you will be developing and delivering solutions that operate at scale - seeing your own technology efforts grow and evolve, from a proof of concept to hosting 50,000+ VMs running in production.

We also maintain a sensible eye on the current state, providing training, flexible work hours and a healthy work life balance for the team. In fact, today we are off to a Melbourne Cup lunch at 12. The vision includes moving to ever more automated systems, and more analytics and focus on metrics to both feedback to us whats happening in the production and delivery pipelines, as well us drive decisions about where our pain points are and how we need to adapt. We also live the 'Play, as a team' value by having a strong focus on sharing learning experiences from the front line with the development teams. So, the options for people in the team are vast. If you like mastering a domain and going deep, we need you. If you can juggle three tasks and coordinate multiple people in the heat of an incident, we need you. If you love the benefits of process and methodical improvement, you will love it here. If you want to keep your head down, headphones on and bash out code to support the team, we have a spot for you too. Most of all if you want to have fun, be challenged, and learn, send us your CV.

Our offices are open, highly collaborative and yes, fun!

[Atlassian] Technical Writer


Technical Writer

Location: Austin
Job Code: QHP-1143
# of openings: 1

Description

Words. Anyone can write them. We're looking for someone that can wield them. At Atlassian, we look at things differently, and that includes the way we communicate technical information to our customers. We know that good writing and software documentation are often not synonymous and are on a mission to change that. We’re on the hunt for a Technical Writer that is passionate about crafting clear, relevant communications that resonate with and respect the user. You’ll deliver a great experience for customers as they discover, use, and retain our product information. This role actively collaborates with marketing, development, training and support teams to make sure that all of our technical communications have a holistic approach. A big part of your job will be designing both a stellar content strategy and information architecture and then developing it to scale on various related projects. You’ll also be testing and validating our existing content and finding ways to improve it. We’re serious about changing documentation: We also will look to you to recruit and train like-minded writers that also want to improve the state of documentation.

More about you

This job is for someone who thinks bigger than traditional software documentation. You can explain complex features within tiny amounts of product real estate and communicate value in a compelling, clear and effective way. If you have the following traits you will be a great fit: a knack for creatively engaging with audiences (no “me too” stuff), a need to work in a fast-paced environment, excellent project management skills, an ability to challenge yourself and others, and a love of using data to create better results. You will be delivering a great customer experience, finding, discovering and retaining information. Design the content strategy and information architecture that allows the production of great content to scale and engage with marketing, development, training, design, development and support teams to collaborate on a holistic information experience for our customers. This is not all expected to be intuitive, in fact we want you to test and validate existing content continually experiment and find new ways to improve it and ensure that we are striving to improve upon our current state. You're a good fit if you have a passion for communicating information and frustrated with the state of software help and knowledge. With the ability to engage an audience through creativity and relish working in a fast-paced agile environment you will ideally have experience collecting and understanding analytics and want to make a difference.

More about our team

We understand that the right words, delivered in the right way, can change minds, spark ideas, solve problems, open doors, avoid trouble, form bonds, create joy, rescue, reassure and unlock tremendous potential. As such you have the ability to work with the majority of the Atlassian family!

More about the perks

Our offices are open, highly collaborative and yes, fun! To support you at work (and play) we offer some killer perks: ample time off to relax and recharge, five paid volunteer days a year for your favorite cause, plenty of food and drinks (including beer and bubbly), ergonomic workstations with Aeron chairs, 20% work time for your passion projects, unique ShipIt days, a company paid trip after five years, generous employer-paid insurance coverage for you and your family, 401k matching and more.
