Application Engineer - Legal Tech

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.

• Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues related to application performance, data integrity, and system interoperability
