Atlassian Graduate Programs & Internships

Armed with a credit card and a dream, university friends Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar set out to create Atlassian in 2002. 

Now, we’re a team of 8,000+ supporting an international group of 180,000+ customers. 

We build tools like Jira, Confluence and Trello to help teams across the world become more nimble, creative, and aligned.

Using those tools, our customers and teams have helped put the Mars Curiosity Rover into space, develop the cochlear implant, and built thousands of products launched to millions of customers around the world.

Our mission is to unleash the potential of every team. 

Our Graduate program is designed to provide new graduates with real-world experiences to help you achieve professional goals and personal dreams.

Most companies have a set of values they use to help inform how they operate and how they view and treat their customers and employees.

So when you ask an Atlassian what themes are at the core of their experience, almost without question, they’ll start by talking about the importance of our values.

Atlassian’s five values are:

1. Open Company, No bullsh*t 
2. Build with heart and balance 
3. Don’t #@!% the customer 
4. Play, as a team 
5. Be the change you seek

Each value plays a distinct role in guiding our culture.

Our Student Internship program is a 12-week immersive program into everyday operations & responsibilities. Solve real-world challenges and work alongside cross-functional teams

SOFTWARE ENGINEER

I started working at Atlassian from New Zealand, house sitting in Taranaki. I then moved to Sydney just before lockdown. Atlassian was very flexible and helped me set-up my home workspace. My team stayed connected during lockdown with plenty of virtual social events - “secret santa” style lunches and online puzzles.

I was an intern during the rise of distributed working. Atlassian gives you the freedom to get work done, as you do it best. It’s empowering to know I’m supported wherever I choose to work.

Get an inside look at what life is like for Atlassians around the world.

Foundation

Atlassian encourages all employees to take 5 paid days each financial year to volunteer at their favorite charity. And for every $1 you donate, up to $1k, Atlassian will match that contribution.

Atlassian believes the future of work is distributed. So by giving people options, they’re empowered to spend more quality time with family and friends, being outdoors, and enjoying what matters most to them.

Work-life balance also means something different to everyone. For some of us, it’s being in office, directly collaborating with teammates. For others, it’s the freedom to work from home, the open road, or somewhere in between. 

Distributed work means we hire people in any country where we have a legal entity as long as they have eligible work rights and sufficient team time zone overlap (think New York to London) so you work to what best suits your lifestyle and needs.

Atlassian offers a variety of other perks and benefits to support you.

• Paid time off: Atlassian encourages employees to step away from work to relax, recharge, and spend time solo or with family and friends! In addition, tap into leave for Foundation time, unpaid or bereavement leave — for moments that matter in life.
• Flexible working: We understand that life happens outside of work. That's why we don't expect a typical 9 AM - 5 PM schedule to work for everyone—we offer flexibility for you to do your best work in a way that works for you.
• Distributed working allowance: No matter where you're working from, we want to ensure you're set up for success. We provide tools and generous financial support to complete an ideal workspace.
• Modern Health: create a personalised care plan to maintain your mental wellbeing through the Modern Health platform.
• Education & resources: access to education, training, and resources is critical to achieving goals and moving forward! We offer a learning budget and a library of online courses to support you to reach your personal and professional goals. 
• Bike repair: As part of our stipend program through Twic Wellness, Atlassian will reimburse bike repairs, accessories, and rentals up to the provided annual limit.
