📌 Role

Senior Atlassian Platform Architect (DevOps/Cloud)

🎯 About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Atlassian Platform Architect to join a strategic project in the energy sector, focused on building a cloud-native internal platform that enables development teams to efficiently create and deliver digital solutions.

This role will play a key part in defining the architecture of the Atlassian platform (Jira, Confluence, and JSM), ensuring scalability, security, and operational efficiency. The platform will be Kubernetes-based and integrated with identity, observability, and internal services, allowing teams to focus on product development rather than infrastructure.

🧠 Responsibilities

• Define the target architecture for the Atlassian platform (Jira, Confluence, JSM) on Kubernetes

• Design multi-tenancy models, high availability, and failover strategies

• Define system boundaries, interfaces, and ownership models

• Integrate the platform with IAM solutions (e.g., Keycloak) and define identity and access models

• Design secure access patterns for internal and external users

• Define integration architectures with systems such as monitoring, CMDB, notification services, and external tools

• Establish API and/or event-driven integration models

• Define SLAs, SLOs, and observability strategies (e.g., Prometheus)

• Design release, upgrade, and version management strategies (including Atlassian plugins)

• Ensure alignment with security standards, private cloud constraints, and architectural governance

• Collaborate with engineering teams and both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Document architectural decisions in a structured manner

✅ Mandatory Requirements

• Proven experience as an Atlassian Solutions Architect (Jira, Confluence, and/or JSM) in enterprise environments

• Strong architectural mindset with the ability to design scalable solutions

• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native platforms

• Experience with IAM and identity federation (e.g., Keycloak or equivalent)

• Experience designing multi-tenant platforms

• Solid understanding of security concepts (ingress, authentication, service exposure)

• Experience defining SLAs/SLOs and monitoring/alerting solutions (e.g., Prometheus)

• “Platform as a product” mindset

• Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

➕ Nice to Have

• Experience running Atlassian tools in private cloud or regulated environments

• Familiarity with compliance frameworks

• Experience integrating with CMDB, ticketing systems, and DevOps platforms (e.g., GitLab)

• Experience building self-service platforms

• Experience defining Atlassian plugin governance processes

• Experience designing external-facing platforms (customer/partner portals)

• Familiarity with observability and incident management practices
