Job Description

Working at The Adaptavist Group
The Adaptavist Group is a global family of companies with a common goal. We combine the best of teamwork, technology, and processes, helping all kinds of businesses be better today and tomorrow.
We are experts at delivering enterprise software, tailored solutions, and quality services across some of the world’s most trusted technology ecosystems, including Atlassian, AWS, Slack, GitLab, Monday.com and Aha!
We make change happen. From anywhere.
Our flexible, remote-first way of working means that work can fit around your life, rather than your life fitting around work.
About the role
As a Software Engineer you will be involved in building and maintaining ScriptRunner Cloud products. You will contribute to engineering best practices within the team to guarantee the reliability and scalability of our product. We practice continuous integration and delivery, which means you will also be responsible for seeing new functionality through to our production environment with monitoring and metrics in place.
In addition, you will work closely with product teams to support, investigate and resolve issues in production to maintain our service level guarantees.

What you'll be doing

  • Build and maintain our microservices built in AWS that our Atlassian Cloud apps are built on
  • Investigate and resolve issues in production for our shared services by working with other Cloud teams at Adaptavist
  • Contribute to engineering best practices within the team to guarantee the reliability and scalability of our shared services for product teams
  • Deliver new functionality all the way through, from design, implementation, testing, deploying and monitoring in production, whilst following continuous delivery practices

What we're looking for

  • Experience in at least one backend language (Java, Python, PHP, etc.) and one front end javascript / typescript framework (react, angular, vue)
  • Good written and verbal communication skills
  • Can work effectively with people across time zones and be proactive about asking for help when required but can also work independently on tasks
  • Experience with using CI/CD to deliver software
  • Experience working in an Agile team
  • Experience working with and building services in AWS (other cloud providers can be considered)

A few nice to haves

  • Previous experience building and maintaining infrastructure in the Cloud using Infrastructure as code
  • Atlassian Ecosystem experience
  • Experience building high-scale distributed systems
