Application Developer Atlassian

Application Developer - Atlassian

At Uber, we don't just use tools; we build the engines that power global movement. As an Application Developer for Work Management, you are at the heart of our productivity. You'll design and build the Atlassian-based systems that keep thousands of Uber employees aligned and moving fast.

This isn't just about managing Jira tickets-it's about engineering intelligent, integrated ecosystems. The pace here is intense, and the systems are massive. You will face high stakes and complex technical debt, and you'll often need to build solutions for problems that don't have a playbook. We need someone with the grit to dive into the messiness of enterprise-scale configurations and the curiosity to leverage GenAI and Rovo Agents to redefine what's possible. If you are a systems thinker who stays calm under pressure and cares about building tools that actually work at scale, this is where you'll grow.

What You'll Do

• Build and Scale: Design and optimize Jira and Confluence environments that support how our teams move in the real world-where performance and scale are non-negotiable.
• Navigate Complexity: Solve messy, high-impact problems across the Atlassian toolchain (Structure, JEMH, EazyBI, ScriptRunner), often without a clear starting point.
• Automate the Future: Build and maintain AI-powered applications and Atlassian Rovo Agents to automate workflows and turn manual friction into seamless productivity.
• Integrate Deeply: Develop robust integrations using Atlassian REST and GraphQL APIs, ensuring data flows smoothly across our global tech stack.
• Own the Outcome: Own your work end-to-end, from the first requirement gathering session with stakeholders to debugging production issues when the stakes are high.
• Unblock Teams: Work through technical debt and shifting priorities to champion engineering best practices, even when time is tight.
• Collaborate and Influence: Partner across disciplines-Product, Engineering, and Operations-to navigate tension, influence without authority, and ship practical solutions at speed.

Basic Qualifications

• 5+ years of hands-on experience administering and developing solutions on Atlassian platforms (Jira and Confluence Cloud/Data Center).
• Proficiency in Jira workflows, custom fields, schemes, permissions, and advanced configurations.
• Experience with ScriptRunner for automation and workflow enhancement.
• Experience working with Atlassian REST and GraphQL APIs for third-party integrations.
• Experience with Atlassian marketplace apps (Structure, JEMH, EazyBI).
• Demonstrated use of AI-powered developer tools in a daily engineering workflow (e.g., AI-assisted coding or debugging).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing AI-enabled solutions using Atlassian Rovo Agents and LLM integrations.
• Expertise in prompt engineering and agent actions within enterprise workflows.
• Proven ability to design enterprise-scale dashboards and analytics using EazyBI.
• Experience supporting large, complex organizations with rigorous governance requirements.
• Strong systems thinking and the ability to thrive in high-ambiguity environments.
