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.

We're looking for a Principal Business Intelligence Engineer to join a high-performing team passionate about solving business problems with advanced analytics. You will translate raw data into valuable business insights, guide initiatives to measure the health of Cloud Migrations, build dashboards and support key performance indicators. The ideal candidate has a background in data engineering, proficiency in SQL, proven data visualization skills, and experience engaging with executive audiences. The candidate will be comfortable with ambiguity in a fast-paced environment, displaying big-picturing thinking while paying careful attention to detail.
