Principal Software Engineer, Cloud Storage Engineering

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.
Our office is in Bengaluru, but we offer flexibility for eligible candidates to work remotely across India. Whatever your preference-working from home, an office, or in between- you can choose the place that's best for your work and your lifestyle.

This ambitious project will support hundreds of millions of databases around the globe with high availability and performance.
