As a Tools Programmer you will...
  • Own the architecture, configuration, and governance of the Atlassian ecosystem (Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence, Automations, Assets, Compass), ensuring studio-level consistency while supporting project-level flexibility.
  • Design and implement standardized workflows, permission models, and role-based access controls that reduce over-permissioning and prevent configuration drift.
  • Identify high-leverage workflow bottlenecks and replace manual, error-prone processes with automation and orchestration using Atlassian Automation, APIs, and custom services.
  • Help build and maintain integrations between Atlassian tools and external systems, including build systems, CI/CD pipelines, HR systems, cloud infrastructure, and monitoring platforms.
  • Develop internal tools and scripts to improve reporting, visibility, and operational efficiency across the studio using technologies such as python, excel, visual basic, SQL, and shell scripting.
  • Clean and normalize workflows before building automated reporting, dashboards, and scheduled report delivery.
  • Implement monitoring, alerting, and self-healing patterns where possible to shift teams from reactive to proactive operations.
  • Partner with technical writers and stakeholders to document systems, standards, and procedures in Confluence so automation and AI systems have stable, trusted inputs.
  • Implement change control and configuration management practices that enable safe automation at scale, including automated communication of approved changes.
  • Act as a technical partner to Studio teams, providing practical solutions that improve day-to-day execution.
Qualifications
What Makes You S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
  • You have proven experience owning, administering, and extending Atlassian platforms at scale in a complex, multi-team environment.
  • You have extensive experience designing and implementing automation
  • You have the demonstrated ability to build internal tools or workflows that reduce manual effort, cycle time, or error rates.
  • You have working knowledge of CI/CD concepts, monitoring, alerting, and infrastructure-adjacent workflows.
  • You can balance standardization with usability and governance with delivery velocity.
  • You are a strong communicator and are comfortable working with both technical and non-technical partners.
Preferred Skills
Bonus Skills
  • You have experience supporting game development, live operations, or large-scale production environments.
