Job Summary:

We are seeking a Jira and Confluence Engineer to join the Dev Sec Ops  Collaboration and Enablement team, with accountability for the architecture, governance, and evolution of our Jira, Jira Service Management, and Confluence platforms.

This role is both strategic and hands-on, with end-to-end responsibility for operating and modernizing our Atlassian ecosystem, including the enterprise migration from Atlassian Data Center to Atlassian Cloud. You will function as the system owner for Jira and Confluence, setting standards, managing risk, and ensuring the platform scales securely and reliably across the organization.

You will partner closely with engineering, security, IAM, compliance, and business stakeholders to balance competing priorities while delivering high-performance, compliant, and cost-effective collaboration solutions. This role requires deep platform expertise, strong judgment, and the ability to translate enterprise needs into durable system design and governance.

• Gather and analyze business and delivery workflow requirements, and translate them into effective Jira configurations, including workflows, schemes, permissions, fields, automation, and app usage.
• Partner with platform owners and stakeholders to support the Atlassian roadmap, backlog execution, vendor coordination, and feature adoption.
• Coordinate with Identity and Access Management, Third-Party Management, and Enterprise Security teams to implement and maintain access models, security controls, and compliance requirements.
• Create, maintain, and evolve standardized ("golden") Jira configurations, including project schemes, issue hierarchies, dashboards, reports, and planning views.
• Build and maintain integrations with external systems such as Git Hub Enterprise, Service Now, and other SDLC or ITSM tools using supported integration patterns and APIs.
• Assess current Atlassian configurations and usage patterns, and recommend practical improvements to scalability, maintainability, and cost efficiency.
• Document and promote platform usage standards, tips, and best practices to improve consistency and reduce administrative overhead.
• Develop and deliver training and enablement for administrators and end users, including documentation and knowledge sharing.
• Monitor and support system performance, availability, and stability, participating in troubleshooting, capacity planning, and operational improvements.
• Design and maintain custom automations and scripts using Adaptavist Script Runner and Groovy to streamline workflows and reduce manual effort
