Atlassian Platform Architect

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential healthcare technology organization in their search for an Atlassian Platform Architect. This senior, hands-on role combines enterprise architecture with deep technical delivery, owning the strategic direction and evolution of the Atlassian ecosystem across a complex, scaling environment.

You will define target architecture, establish governance standards, remediate technical debt, and personally design and implement sophisticated automations, integrations, and service management solutions. This position requires both strategic vision and the technical expertise to execute complex implementations while serving as the senior technical partner to platform administration teams.

Responsibilities

• Define and maintain target architecture, technical strategy, and prioritized roadmap for Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence, and the broader Atlassian ecosystem
• Establish enterprise standards for data models, workflows, schemes, fields, permissions, automation, integrations, reporting, and naming conventions
• Take ownership of platform health and lead remediation of configuration sprawl, technical debt, duplicate objects, and inconsistent platform patterns
• Design and implement complex solutions using Jira Automation, Rovo, ScriptRunner, REST APIs, webhooks, and Marketplace applications
• Define JSM and ITSM architecture supporting service requests, incidents, problems, changes, knowledge, and asset management
• Establish integration standards covering APIs, identity systems, authentication, data ownership, monitoring, error handling, and recovery
• Define security, privacy, availability, recoverability, performance, data-retention, and audit requirements
• Introduce architecture reviews, change controls, and lifecycle-management processes that protect the platform while supporting delivery
• Lead major platform remediation, consolidation, migration, redesign, and integration initiatives
• Evaluate Marketplace applications and emerging Atlassian capabilities, including Atlassian Intelligence and Rovo, based on security, privacy, cost, and maintainability
• Partner with IT, Security, Privacy, Compliance, Enterprise Systems, Product, and Engineering to translate requirements into sustainable technical solutions
• Provide technical leadership to Jira administrators by reviewing complex changes, establishing reusable patterns, mentoring the team, and taking ownership of high-risk work
• Act as senior escalation point for architectural issues, significant platform risks, and complex technical decisions
• Support licensing, application rationalization, vendor decisions, and platform investment planning

What We're Looking For

• 6-8 years of experience leading Jira and the Atlassian ecosystem within a large or complex organization
• Deep hands-on Jira Cloud and JSM expertise across workflows, schemes, custom fields, permissions, automation, security, and project configuration
• Strong technical experience with Forge, REST APIs, webhooks, workflow extensions, and enterprise integrations
• Experience defining enterprise architecture, platform governance, configuration standards, technical roadmaps, and reusable design patterns
• Experience designing JSM and ITSM solutions aligned with ITIL practices and an enterprise IT operating model
• Strong knowledge of Atlassian Cloud identity and security, including Atlassian Guard, SAML, SSO, SCIM, provisioning, and access controls
• Direct experience working with both HIPAA and FedRAMP requirements and translating them into practical platform controls
• Experience assessing platform health and leading remediation, migration, consolidation, or transformation initiatives
• Experience evaluating and governing Marketplace applications and other Atlassian extensions
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to move confidently between strategy, technical design, hands-on delivery, and team mentoring
• A willingness to take ownership of a challenging environment, make clear technical decisions, and drive issues through to resolution
