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.


We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to partner with our AI teams. We’re seeking someone with strong business instincts, creativity, analytics mastery, and experience working alongside cross-functional teams; someone who is passionate about applying these skills to drive smarter product decisions and ultimately, delight our customers.

Your responsibilities include:

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify high-impact opportunities for analysis and align analytics priorities with the AI roadmap and strategy.

  • Quantify the impact of AI features on our business and customers.

  • Understand insightful trends and employ behavioural data and insights to intelligently improve user journeys and customer value.

  • Envision, scope, and execute projects by collaborating with product managers, engineers, designers, researchers, data engineers, and other data scientists

  • Share your high-quality insights and recommendations to various levels of leadership to drive critical business decisions

  • Foster a world-class analytics culture, leading by example, through education and the creation of self-service tools, to make a lasting change in how your partners use data to make decisions.

Qualification:

  • Proven experience applying your analytics skills to projects that have had a positive impact on strategic and product roadmap decisions

  • Expertise in SQL and proficiency in another data science programming language (eg Python, R)

  • An agile development mindset, appreciating the benefit of constant iteration and improvement

  • A very high bar for output quality, while balancing “having something now" vs. "perfection in the future"

  • Strong ability to communicate, explain complex concepts to diverse audiences, and crafting compelling stories

  • Project management and prioritisation experience; preferably with product management, design and software engineering teams

  • Experience in using statistics as part of your role (e.g. regressions, A/B tests, forecasting)

  • Proficiency in at least one visualisation tool (e.g. Tableau, R-Shiny, Microstrategy, SAP Business Objects).

  • A degree in a quantitative field (e.g. statistics, mathematics, physics, engineering, econometrics, computer science etc)

It's a bonus, but not required, if you have:

  • Previously worked in global teams and high-growth companies

  • An understanding of AI or SaaS development, business models and metrics

  • Experience providing insight into how product changes impact user happiness and engagement

  • Experience building ETL pipelines using any tools or scripting languages

  • Are an active member of the broader analytics and data science community

  • Advanced degree in Computer Science, Math or Statistics
