Atlassian Developer

Role Description

We are seeking an Atlassian Developer to support a high-end Digital Engineering Solutions team delivering capabilities to a Space Systems Command customer. This role focuses on designing, developing, and implementing customized solutions across the Atlassian suite, with an emphasis on Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management (JSM).

The Atlassian Developer will translate user and system requirements into scalable, automated workflows and integrations. You will be responsible for building and maintaining custom Jira workflows, automation rules, integrations, and Confluence dashboards to support program execution and operational visibility. This role requires close collaboration with technical teams and stakeholders to implement solutions that improve process efficiency and data-driven decision-making.

A strong development mindset is key—this role emphasizes configuration-as-code, API integrations, and extensibility of Atlassian tools, rather than purely administrative oversight.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain custom Jira workflows, automations, and configurations
• Build and manage Confluence dashboards and dynamic reporting solutions
• Develop and support integrations using REST APIs across Jira, Confluence, and external systems
• Implement Jira Service Management (JSM) solutions for workflow and asset management
• Write and optimize JQL and SQL queries for reporting and data analysis
• Extend Atlassian functionality through scripting and custom development
• Collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into technical solutions
• Support CI/CD practices, version control, and deployment processes using Git or similar tools
• Contribute to Agile/SAFe environments, helping align Jira configurations with best practices
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to Atlassian tools, workflows, and integrations

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience developing and supporting Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence, JSM)
• Strong hands-on experience with:
  • Workflow customization, automation, and scripting
  • REST API integrations
  • JQL and SQL
• Experience with JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and familiarity with Java or Python
• Experience using Git or other version control systems
• Ability to build scalable solutions that extend base Atlassian functionality
• Experience working in Agile or SAFe environments
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a technical setting
• Excellent communication skills with experience collaborating across technical teams

Desired Experience

• Experience developing Atlassian plugins or custom apps
• Familiarity with DoD environments or government programs (especially acquisition processes)
• Experience with front-end frameworks (e.g., Angular) is a plus
• Understanding of system integration and enterprise architecture concepts
• Certified Atlassian Developer (preferred)

Requirements

• U.S. Citizenship required
• Ability to obtain a Secret clearance (with potential upgrade to TS)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to telework effectively
• Ability to travel up to 25%

Core Skills

• Jira, Confluence, Jira Service Management
• Atlassian Suite Development
• JQL, SQL
• REST APIs
• JavaScript, HTML, CSS
• Git / Version Control
• Workflow Automation & Customization
