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. Interviews and onboarding are conducted virtually, a part of being a distributed-first company.

At Atlassian, we’re on a mission to unleash the potential of every team. As part of that mission, we're investing deeply in Generative AI — pioneering advanced modeling and rapid innovations that accelerate how teams work, discover, and create.

We’re seeking a Machine Learning Engineer (P40) to join our new GenAI Modeling & Innovation Forge in Singapore. You’ll work with a small, high-impact team focused on advanced GenAI modeling, rapid prototyping, and applied research—building the foundations of the next generation of AI-powered innovations across Atlassian.

What You'll Do

🧠 Contribute to Advanced GenAI Models

• Implement and fine-tune LLMs and embeddings under guidance from senior engineers and scientists.

• Build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and hybrid retrieval pipelines.

• Apply modern frameworks and best practices to support team experiments and prototypes.

⚡ Prototype and Experiment

• Help build proof-of-concept systems for GenAI-powered assistants and agentic workflows.

• Run experiments, collect data, and iterate quickly to improve models and features.

• Contribute to evaluation pipelines for groundedness, quality, and reliability.

🤝 Collaborate and Learn

• Work closely with ML engineers, applied scientists, and product teams to deliver end-to-end prototypes.

• Learn and apply best practices in ML engineering, experimentation, and deployment.

• Share results and insights to help drive the Forge’s mission of rapid innovation.

• Hands-on experience with at least one area: LLMs, NLP, embeddings, search/retrieval, or ML pipelines.

• Exposure to building or deploying ML-powered features or prototypes.

💡 Skills

• Proficiency with ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face).

• Familiarity with modern GenAI tools (LangChain, LlamaIndex) and vector databases (Weaviate, Pinecone, FAISS).

• Solid coding skills in Python and ability to write clean, maintainable code.

• Curiosity, adaptability, and eagerness to learn in a fast-paced environment.

📚 Education

• Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or related field—or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to Have

• Experience with data pipelines, backend engineering, or cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).

• Familiarity with search evaluation metrics (e.g., NDCG, precision@k).

• Contributions to open-source ML/GenAI projects.

• Strong interest in applied research and rapid prototyping.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of the founding team of Atlassian’s Singapore-based GenAI Modeling & Innovation Forge.

• Work on cutting-edge applied GenAI projects with global visibility and impact.

• Learn from experienced engineers and scientists while contributing to meaningful prototypes.

• Join a mission-driven, remote-first company where innovation and growth are celebrated.
