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.

Are you interested in contributing significantly to the overall success of the company, helping build out a globally scalable procurement group, establishing sourcing strategies, and leading change?
