Atlassian is a team of 5000+ Atlassians supporting an international group of 170,000+ customers. They build tools like Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and Trello to help teams across the world become more nimble, creative, and aligned.
Why Atlassian says you should help them build tools for teams:
"Atlassians choose every single day where they want to work – whether it’s in one of our offices, from home, or a combination of the two. We call this Team Anywhere.
"So how does it work? You can work in any country where we have a legal business entity and there's a sufficient timezone overlap with your team. Want to work from a different place this summer? Go for it! You can stay and work outside your designated “work location” for up to 90 days a year. And our digital-first culture means we default to virtual meetings and place greater emphasis on async communications.
"This levels the playing field so you never feel like your flexible lifestyle holds you back."
