We're hiring the Lead Principal Technical Program Manager for Foundations.
This is the most senior Individual Contributor TPM role at Atlassian covering wide and most foundational parts of our technical stack (Compute, Network, Data Platform, Identity, Security, Reliability, to name a few).
In this role you will bring leadership necessary to transform and drive some of the most critical company-wide initiatives.
In this role, you will demonstrate innovative thinking, collaborative problem-solving skills, as well as a passion for working in a highly cross-functional environment. This is a unique opportunity to influence and make some of the most critical technical decisions across the company. You will be working with world-class engineering teams and experts evolving the most foundational aspects of Atlassian's technical stack while breaking down technical barriers and strengthening existing systems.

  • Streamline the execution of the articulated roadmap. Evangelize adoption/usage of the platform and tools across Atlassian executives and product teams.
  • While this list highlights the most common responsibilities, I want to emphasize the importance of the sense of ownership that you will have for your platforms and products, programs. This means that you will need to proactively identify any inhibitors, issues or opportunities, and proactively address them yourself or find the right owners to do so. The bottom line is that you are a true owner of your area and the buck stops with you.
  • As a senior member of the Foundations org, you will be driving some of the most complex, cross-divisional projects/initiatives. This will likely include managing complex dependencies and projects with a broad scope across the company
