Extend and customize Atlassian applications (Jira, Confluence) through plugins, REST APIs, and automation frameworks to meet studio‑specific needs.
Work across distributed systems, investigating issues, optimizing performance, and ensuring reliability of our internal tools ecosystem.
Design and maintain databases (relational, document, and cache stores) that support internal tools and analytics.
Collaborate with multiple departments to translate their workflows into maintainable, scalable, and systemic solutions.
Manage and prioritize multiple projects and their respective tasks independently while contributing to long‑term architectural planning.
Share knowledge with teammates in tool development, infrastructure best practices, and debugging complex integrations.

What We're Looking For

Experience managing Jira administration, workflows, permissions, and automation.
Proven ability writing plugins, extensions, and integrations for Atlassian products like Jira and Confluence.
Ability to prototype and quickly iterate on front‑end web tools leveraging modern web frameworks like Vue and Tailwind.
Advanced proficiency with server‑side development across various interpreted languages (Javascript/Typescript, Python, or PHP) and practical knowledge of REST API design.
Solid understanding of distributed systems, including performance optimization, fault tolerance, and observability.
Experience administering, optimizing, and migrating databases (MySQL, MongoDB, Redis) and understanding when it makes sense to use one over another.
Familiarity managing and developing both cloud and on‑prem infrastructures leveraging containerization, infrastructure as code (Terraform/Ansible), and observability tools.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills necessary for working across our various departments and disciplines to improve their quality of life.
