Overview

Join the Agentic Search team at Atlassian to build and ship intelligent search experiences that power Rovo Chat and AI-driven workflows across the Atlassian platform.

• Develop and maintain production ML pipelines for search relevance, leveraging techniques such as reranking, embedding models, and reinforcement learning
• Drive end-to-end experimentation — from offline evaluation to online A/B testing — to measure and improve search quality metrics
• Collaborate with product, platform, and applied science partners to translate user needs into scalable ML solutions
• Contribute to the team's evaluation infrastructure and data tooling to accelerate iteration

What We're Looking For

• Strong software engineering fundamentals with experience building ML systems at scale
• Familiarity with search/IR, NLP, or LLM-based systems
• Ability to operate independently, drive technical decisions, and deliver impact in a fast-moving environment
