Compensation

Full Description

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. Responsibilities The Engineering Manager (EM) is accountable for outcomes, people, and technical health for the Comments domain—driving execution through empowered feature leads, ensuring long-term platform quality, and cultivating an inclusive, high-performance team culture. 1) People Leadership & Team Health Lead a team of software engineers (typically 8–12), setting clear expectations, coaching, and providing actionable feedback. Career growth and performance: run growth plans, calibrations, reviews, and compensation planning with clarity and fairness. Hiring and onboarding: partner with recruiting; raise the bar via structured interviews; accelerate ramp-up with clear onboarding plans. Culture and inclusion: foster psychological safety, inclusive practices, and healthy team rituals (retros, demos, knowledge-sharing). 2) Delivery, Planning, and Execution Own delivery outcomes: define scope and milestones with the triad; track progress, risks, and dependencies across frontend, backend, and platform workstreams. Empower Feature Leads (FLs): enable FLs to drive cycle execution; unblock ambiguity; arbitrate decisions when consensus stalls. Cross-team orchestration: coordinate with Editor, Notifications, Trust/Abuse, Data Platform (e.g., StreamHub/Kamino pipelines) to land integrated outcomes (e.g., deleted-comment events for data retention). Incident and operational leadership: drive “detect early, restore fast” practices; ensure PIR quality and action follow-through; improve on-call ergonomics. 3) Technical Stewardship & Platform Quality Technical vision: set a 6 month technical north star for comments (extensibility, performance, accessibility, moderation readiness, data lifecycle). Quality bar: champion automated testing, canary/gradual rollouts, observability (SLIs/SLOs), and error-budget-driven prioritization. Tech debt governance: maintain a visible improvements backlog; schedule debt paydown alongside roadmap; enforce “leave it better” principles. 4) Metrics, Reliability, and Operational Excellence Define metrics that matter: comment create/edit P50/P90 latency, client error rate, availability, notification delivery, spam/abuse false-positive/negative rates, and UX quality heuristics. Runbook maturity: ensure robust playbooks, alert hygiene, and clear ownership; “you build it, you run it.” Continuous improvement loops: weekly ops reviews, SLO breach follow-ups, PIR action tracking, and cost/performance reviews. 5) Product Collaboration and Customer Impact Triad partnership: co-shape the roadmap with PM and Design; validate feasibility, instrument experiments, and iterate quickly on insights. Experience quality: drive papercut backlog (e.g., edit reliability, draft safety, mention accuracy); reduce friction and elevate polish across devices and locales.
