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.

About Team

The Product Security team at Atlassian is committed to ensuring the delivery of secure products. These teams are geographically distributed, with a presence in the USA, Australia, and India. Each team is structured uniformly to provide comprehensive product security services tailored to their respective time zones. These services include security consulting, risk identification, and mitigation consulting for all products within their purview.

Recognising the critical importance of product security as a customer necessity and a competitive edge, our team holds a pivotal position within the organisation. With Atlassian's strong engineering focus and emphasis on autonomous teams, maturing the security of this complex environment stands as our core duty. Our tasks encompass identifying potential security threats in our products, devising suitable mitigation strategies, and evaluating their effectiveness on a large scale. It is imperative to execute these responsibilities in a scalable manner, allowing us to adapt to the evolving landscape shaped by changes in our business, global dynamics, adversarial strategies, customer requirements, technological advancements, and other factors.
