Working at Atlassian

Atlassians can choose where they work â 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. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

To help our teams work together effectively, this role is fully remote but requires you to be located in Turkiye.

About the Role

We are looking for a Principal Engineer experienced in the ML/AI domain to drive the vision, development, and launch of AI-powered products and platforms at Atlassian. You will lead initiatives across two key areas:

• NextGen AI - Exploring cutting-edge AI applications (for example, chatbot experiences, generative AI features) to shape the future of our products.

  
  
  

This role requires strong technical leadership, balancing hands-on engineering, strategic decision-making, and cross-functional collaboration to ensure the successful end-to-end delivery of AI solutions.

Joining Atlassian is an opportunity to be at the forefront of industry transformation.

Responsibilities

• Define the technical vision and roadmap for AI Foundation and NextGen.

  
  
  

• End-to-end ownership - from prototyping and development to production.

• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Data Science, and UX to align on priorities and deliver measurable impact.

  
  
  

• Facilitate product and technical decisions, ensuring alignment with business goals.

  
  
  

• Drive platformization of AI/ML systems to improve scalability, reliability, and adoption across teams.

  
  
  

• Partner with customer teams to understand needs, build relationships, and expand the scope of AI adoption.

  
  
  

• Explore and apply state-of-the-art AI/ML techniques to solve novel product challenges.

  
  
  

• Evaluate in-house model development vs. third-party APIs for ML/AI solutions.

  
  
  

• Establish best practices for AI development, quality measurement, monitoring, and scalability.

  
  
  

Must-Have:

• 7+ years of experience in Machine Learning engineering, including hands-on work with training/inference pipelines, prompt engineering, and ML systems, demonstrating deep expertise in applied ML.

  
  
  

• Proven track record of tech-leading AI/ML products from conception to launch.

  
  
  

• Strong platform mindset - experience building reusable tools/infras to accelerate AI development.

  
  
  

• Strong programming skills in any OOO programming language - weâre open to candidates from different tech backgrounds.

  
  
  

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

  
  
  

Nice-to-Have:

• PhD or MS in a relevant field.
