Senior Security Engineer - Red Team

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. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

Atlassian is looking for a Senior Red Team Operator to join our internal Red Team. Our mission is to continuously increase the resilience of Atlassian against sophisticated attacks. Acting from a hostile perspective, we uncover technical, physical and social vulnerabilities to challenge our teams ability to react under real conditions. This approach helps Atlassian evaluate threats, protect our assets and respond appropriately to real attacks.
