Are you a front-end developer who has solid coding chops, but isn´t afraid to bust out Photoshop and show who´s who and what´s what?

Atlassian is the Australian software company who created Confluence and JIRA, among others.

Translate design comps into standards-based, SEO-friendly HTML and CSS code
Build and re-use CMS templates
Update our website, web-applications and develop new ones

Required Skills:

Extensive hands-on experience in standards-compliant efficient HTML & CSS
Excellent understanding of JavaScript and supporting libraries
Experience implementing designs across multiple platforms and browsers
Understanding of Java server technologies
Superior creativity and innovation-driven
Experience slicing and dicing Photoshop files into functional websites

Experience building dynamic Ajaxified interfaces
Keen to learn more about new languages and frameworks

Your Dream Job

With offices in Sydney, San Francisco, and Amsterdam we offer global opportunities and the chance to work with like-minds from different cultures. Each day you come to work at Atlassian, you will be coming to work in an open-plan office filled with lots of natural light. When you are not sitting in your comfy ergonomic Aeron chair, working on your large LCD monitors and the operating system of your choice, there will be plenty of decisions to make. Maybe you´d like to participate in a lunchtime card game? Would you rather play a Wii Sports game or be a guitar hero? If hunger strikes, head to the kitchen for drinks, fresh fruit, snacks and more. Your choice!

Atlassian prides itself in the less tangible good stuff as well. We offer excellent health benefits for employees and dependents, ample time off, 401(k), life insurance, huge referral bonuses, comfy work space, friendly coworkers, cavorting in-office pups, and a clear vision driven by pure intentions.

We will always consider outstanding individuals with the talent, ideas and passion to make a significant contribution to our team.

"The culture is so refreshing compared to my previous employment in large corporations. The openness of information, the willingness to use new technology (such as using wikis instead of Word documents), daily stand-up meetings to promote communication without the drudgery of long meetings, the honesty of the product offering---they make me love coming to work each day." John Rotenstein, internal systems

"Working for Atlassian honestly makes me wonder why other companies can´t get it right . . . this is how work should be." Michael Seager, sales team member
