Atlassian can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity, assuming candidates have eligible working rights and a sufficient timezone overlap with their team. As our offices re-open, Atlassians can choose to work remotely or return to an office, unless it's necessary for the role to be performed in the office. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.
With a sufficient timezone overlap with the team, we're able to hire eligible candidates for this role from the west coast of the USA and Canada, as well as Australia or New Zealand. If this sparks your interest, apply today and chat with our friendly Recruitment team further.

Our products are revolutionising the software industry and helping teams collaborate and craft the magic that delivers their best work.

Do you want to be accountable for the technical painted picture for cross-product end user and admin experiences? As the Lead Principal Architect for Experience Platform (XP), you'll contribute to and enforce / review Cloud-wide architecture patterns in XP teams. This is a chance to mentor other architects across Cloud Platform. Our products share many common experiences for end-users and administrators. These shared screens, interactions, and interfaces unify our products, providing a consistent surface area for the benefit of our customers.

Some examples of cross-product experiences whose technical evolution you will drive:

• Identity Platform - All of our products have (or will soon have) a common account system for end-users. This is known as the "Atlassian account". Our customers use their Atlassian account to access our products with one set of credentials and under one authentication session.
• Access Management - This is how permissions are applied to grant or deny access to our products, APIs, and services. Our access management practices are applied across our account management system and permissions service to control permissions.
• Cross product search - Our cross-product search surfaces results including pages, tickets, and instances from across our products. It delivers a personalized search experience, by using contextual information about what spaces users work in, to provide the most relevant document(s) specific to each user.

On your first day, we'll expect you to have:

• Extensive experience as a platform architect within an enterprise SaaS company
• Expertise in SaaS architecture on AWS
• Deeper knowledge in Identity Platform, Data Visualisation and Workflow & Automation
• Experience with product and platform strategy in order to help prioritise projects, look for partnership opportunities and identify missing capabilities
• Experience in making platform capabilities easy to discover and adopt for internal and external developers.
