Overview

Join Our ScriptRunner Team as a Senior Software Engineer! We are seeking a dynamic Senior Software Engineer to join the ScriptRunner Cloud team. ScriptRunner is committed to delivering top-tier applications that empower over 20 million users of Atlassian tools worldwide. You will help build the platform that powers ScriptRunner Cloud and shape the core technology underpinning our products.

What You’ll Do

• Design and evolve the platform: set up build pipelines, select web/server technologies, design hosting architectures, and organise repositories for scale and clarity.
• Ship continuously: create automated build and deployment plans, contribute to CI/CD best practices, and pair program/review code in an Agile workflow.
• Build the right solutions: research and document approaches within Atlassian Connect and Forge constraints; design services and architectures to meet customer needs at scale.
• Go serverless where it fits: build and test serverless applications; define stacks with Terraform, AWS SAM, or CDK.
• Keep it reliable: run, monitor, and debug services; configure meaningful alerts; analyse logs/metrics for performance and behaviour; evaluate systems for operational reliability.
• Migrate without drama: move high-traffic systems to new designs with zero downtime.
• Own the ops: participate in on-call/incident response, lead post-incident learnings, and drive platform improvements.

How You’ll Work

• Agile ceremonies: standups, ticket estimations, retrospectives.
• Collaborative engineering: peer reviews and pair programming.
• Data-informed decisions: use metrics and customer signals to guide priorities.
• High impact: a visible role influencing engineering practices and platform direction.
