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.

The bottom line is that you are a true owner of your area and the buck stops with you.
