Atlassian Data Engineer jobs
A dedicated DE ladder and a real 2027 graduate path, against a March 2026 layoff backdrop.
The Senior Data Engineer role
Atlassian data engineers own end-to-end ELT/ETL pipelines, data models, quality frameworks and on-call for product, growth and go-to-market data, partnering with data science and product engineering. Postings stress Spark, Airflow and Databricks, metrics definition, logging instrumentation and data governance. The org is distributed-first, has a rare dedicated graduate DE program, and is adding AI-oriented data work such as an ‘AI context layer’ for agents.
Atlassian runs a dedicated Data Engineering function: DE reqs sit in the ‘Analytics & Data Science’ job family (the Product DE org reports to a Senior Data Engineering Manager), separate from the SWE-based Trusted Data Platform and Data Exchange Platform teams in Engineering; the stack is Spark, Airflow, Databricks and data lakes, and the ladder runs P30–P90.
