Systems Administrator (Atlassian)
TLDR
Build Atlassian integrations, APIs, pipelines, and automations that sync engineering data across internal systems and AUV programs.
Summary
We're looking for an individual with deep experience in the Atlassian ecosystem (Jira, Confluence) to sit on our Systems Engineering, Integration & Test (SEIT) team and lead integration work connecting these tools with our internal systems. You'll design and build the pipelines, APIs, and automations that keep Jira and Confluence in sync with our internal tooling — helping us track and manage engineering data across our AUV programs and get more leverage out of our existing Atlassian investment.
What You'll Do
- Design and build integrations between Jira/Confluence and internal tools
- Facilitate data sync and workflow automation between Jira/Confluence and internal systems (e.g., issue tracking, reporting, provisioning, notifications)
- Work with stakeholders across engineering, systems engineering, program management, and ops to understand workflows and translate them into integration requirements
- Troubleshoot and maintain existing integrations; monitor for reliability and data integrity issues
- Maintain data integrity and traceability across integrated systems (requirements, test data, configuration data, etc.)
- Document integration architecture and decisions for the team
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of meaningful hands-on work in the Atlassian ecosystem (Jira, Confluence, and ideally Bitbucket)
- Experience building on Atlassian APIs (REST API, Jira Cloud/Server, Confluence Cloud/Server) and/or Atlassian Forge or Connect
- Strong communicator who can work directly with non-technical stakeholders to scope integration needs
- Must be a U.S. citizen
Nice to Have
- Experience with Jira Service Management, Atlassian Marketplace apps, or admin/scripting (e.g., ScriptRunner)
- Familiarity with Atlassian Data Center/Cloud migrations
- Experience working in a defense, aerospace, robotics, or hardware manufacturing environment
