Security Incident Response Analyst

Overview

Do you live and breathe information security? Want to battle bad guys every day? Need to work on important problems, your way? Atlassian has an opportunity for you! We're expanding our security intelligence capability and looking for smart, technical people to help us build and run new monitoring/analytics systems. As a Security Intelligence Analyst you'll be watching over our corporate environment and Atlassian cloud services, hunting for signs of compromise and implementing high‑fidelity alerts.

More than that, you'll be building new systems, developing automation and crushing security problems you care about. The team is small, so everyone's contribution is vital.

We would love for you to be a great developer, but more importantly, you must be bright, motivated and love security. You should be comfortable writing code to get things done and not depend on third‑party products to do your job. You must have a solid understanding of network, system and application security and should be considered great in at least one by your peers.

At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable, explainable, and competitive compensation programs. To support this goal, the baseline of our range is higher than that of the typical market range, but in turn we expect to hire most candidates near this baseline. Base pay within the range is ultimately determined by a candidate's skills, expertise, or experience.

In the United States, we have three geographic pay zones. For this role, our current base pay ranges for new hires in each zone are:

• Zone A: $154,500 - $206,000
• Zone B: $139,000 - $185,400
• Zone C: $128,200 - $171,000

This role may also be eligible for benefits, bonuses, commissions, and equity. Please visit  for more information on which locations are included in each of our geographic pay zones. However, please confirm the zone for your specific location with your recruiter.
