Software Engineer - Data Integration and Backend Development

Software Engineer, Datacloud

Overview

Working at Atlassian

Atlassians can choose where they work – whether in an office, from home, or a combination of the two. That way, Atlassians have more control over supporting their family, personal goals, and other priorities. We can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity.

DX builds a developer experience platform that helps engineering leaders understand productivity, tool adoption, and team health. DX combines survey-based insights with tool integration data to give teams a complete picture of their developer experience. One critical piece of that, Datacloud, is a data ingestion backend that pulls, normalizes, and stores engineering data from dozens of third-party services.
We're looking for a mid-level software engineer to help grow our connector ecosystem, with a focus on our expanding suite of AI coding tool integrations.

Responsibilities

What You'll Do
You'll work closely with a small team focused on how DX ingests data from the tools developers use:

• Build new connectors alongside your teammates, including API clients, import pipelines, database schemas, and connection verification logic for new tools we support

• Maintain and improve AI tool connectors like Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, CodeRabbit, Devin, Windsurf, and Amazon Q. Keep them reliable as upstream APIs evolve and expanding the metrics we collect

• Triage and fix connector incidents when third-party APIs change, syncs fail, or data quality issues surface

• Contribute to database migrations in our multi-tenant architecture, where every schema change must be safe to re-run across hundreds of customer databases

• Collaborate with product and customers to scope new integrations and validate that the data we're importing is accurate and useful

Qualifications

What We're Looking For

• 3–6 years of professional software engineering experience

• Comfortable with Ruby and Rails, or a strong background in a similar language

• Experience integrating with third-party REST APIs and dealing with the different problems each one has around pagination, rate limits, OAuth, API keys, and handling flaky external dependencies

• Solid PostgreSQL fundamentals. We write a lot of SQL. You be comfortable with indexes, upserts, schema design, and query performance

• Familiarity with background job processing systems. We use Sidekiq heavily

• Strong self-QA instincts. We don't have a dedicated QA team, so you need to be confident your code is correct before it ships. Data errors are hard to detect and hard to recover from. Customers rely on this data to make decisions, so the data needs to be right.

Nice to Have

• Experience with multi-tenant SaaS or per-customer database patterns

• Familiarity with OpenTelemetry or observability tooling

• Prior work at a developer tools company or with platforms like GitHub or Jira

• You use AI coding tools yourself

Why This Role
The codebase has strong conventions, so you can move fast and learn quickly, but there's real complexity in the data modeling, sync reliability, and API quirks that keep the work interesting. And as AI coding tools continue to proliferate, this area of the product is only going to grow.
