INTRODUCTION
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.
We are looking for a senior infrastructure engineer who can own our platform end-to-end, from Terraform modules to Kubernetes clusters to scalable architecture. You'll work across our tech stack—including Rails and Postgres—but your focus will be on building and maintaining the infrastructure that makes our platform reliable, scalable, and secure.
We operate as a high-leverage, lean engineering team within Atlassian. We intentionally keep our headcount small so that every engineer owns a massive surface area and ships at high velocity. This means that each person on our team carries significant weight and responsibility, and must ship a lot. In return, we have great compensation, zero bureaucracy, little to no meetings, and the opportunity to immensely impact the business each day.
Our team is mostly based out of Salt Lake City, so candidates must have at least 5-hours of overlap with Mountain Time zone. This is a full time, remote role across USA.
Responsibilities
- You'll design and improve our systems architecture, build flexible deployment tooling, and build the self-service platforms that enable developers to ship confidently.
- At times, you'll work directly with customers in a forward-deployed capacity—helping deploy DX into their environments, architecting solutions for complex infrastructure requirements, and ensuring successful implementations across cloud platforms.
- When a customer has a tricky networking constraint or compliance requirement, you'll be the one figuring out how to make it work.
QUALIFICATIONS
- You think holistically about systems. When you see a problem, you don't stop at the infrastructure layer—you'll dig into application code, propose architectural changes, and lead cross-team efforts to solve it properly.
- You have strong experience with infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, and you've built and maintained production Kubernetes clusters (EKS, GKE, or AKS). You know how to design Helm charts that are flexible enough to support multiple environments without becoming unmaintainable.
- You have experience with deployment automation and GitOps practices—ideally with ArgoCD, but strong experience with similar tools works too. You care about making deployments boring and repeatable.
- You can manage high-availability database infrastructure, specifically focusing on PostgreSQL performance tuning, scaling, and automated failover strategies.
- You're comfortable working directly with customers when needed. You can translate technical constraints into clear language, run deployment calls, and write tactful emails when things go sideways.
- You understand security and compliance requirements. Experience with frameworks like SOC 2, FedRAMP, HIPAA, or ISO 27001 is a plus—you know how to implement controls without grinding development to a halt.
- You're a generalist with depth in infrastructure. You're comfortable across the stack, designing automated failover systems or optimizing CI/CD pipelines, tracing a networking issue, or reviewing application code.
- Your output and work ethic consistently exceed that of your peers, and you want to work on a team where others match your level.
- You're accustomed to carrying a lot of weight: proactively identifying and resolving systemic bottlenecks before they impact production, going the extra mile to ship something today instead of tomorrow, or proactively improving systems that aren't technically your responsibility.
COMPENSATION
At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable, explainable, and competitive compensation programs. To support this goal, the baseline of our range is higher than that of the typical market range, but in turn we expect to hire most candidates near this baseline. Base pay within the range is ultimately determined by a candidate's skills, expertise, or experience.
In the United States, we have three geographic pay zones. For this role, our current base pay ranges for new hires in each zone are:
- Zone A: $176,400 - $230,300
- Zone B: $159,300 - $207,975
- Zone C: $146,700 - $191,525
This role may also be eligible for benefits, bonuses, commissions, and equity.

Align your degree to the role
U.S. consular officers assess whether your qualification directly supports the specific job. A degree in computer science, software engineering, or information systems maps cleanly to infrastructure roles. An unrelated degree raises questions you'll need to answer with experience documentation.
Target employers with active LCA history
Search the DOL's public Labor Condition Application disclosure data to find companies that have filed LCAs for infrastructure or software engineering roles. Employers already familiar with the LCA process move faster and are less likely to stall at the offer stage.
Frame your role as a specialty occupation early
Infrastructure Software Engineer positions can sometimes be misread by hiring managers as general IT work. Before your final-round interview, confirm the role requires a specific bachelor's degree, not any degree, so the LCA and visa application won't face a specialty occupation challenge later.
Get your credentials assessed before applying
Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees for E-3 purposes. If your transcript shows a non-standard program structure, a credential evaluation from an approved U.S. assessment body removes ambiguity before a consular officer raises it.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the LCA
The LCA must be certified by the DOL before your visa interview, and errors in prevailing wage classification delay the whole timeline. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork so nothing stalls between your offer letter and your consulate appointment.
Book your consulate appointment immediately after LCA certification
Appointment availability at Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth fluctuates, and some employers set start-date expectations before checking wait times. As soon as your LCA is certified, log into the U.S. Visa Scheduling portal and book your slot so the employer's timeline doesn't get thrown off.
E-3 Visa Infrastructure Software Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Infrastructure Software Engineer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for U.S. roles that include E-3 sponsorship. Rather than filtering through generic job boards where sponsorship status is unclear, Migrate Mate surfaces Infrastructure Software Engineer positions at employers who are already open to the E-3 process, saving you the back-and-forth of asking mid-application.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does an Infrastructure Software Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field like computer science, software engineering, or information systems. Roles involving cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, or site reliability engineering consistently meet the specialty occupation standard. Where qualification can break down is when a job description accepts any bachelor's degree regardless of field, so review the employer's posted requirements carefully before applying.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Infrastructure Software Engineer roles?
The practical difference is significant. The H-1B visa has an annual cap of 65,000 visas with a lottery that accepted roughly one in four registrants in recent fiscal years, meaning you can have a job offer and still not get a visa. The E-3 has no lottery and a 10,500 annual allocation that has never been fully used. For infrastructure engineering roles with offers in hand, the E-3 removes the single biggest variable in the U.S. work visa process.
What documentation should I prepare before an employer files my E-3 LCA?
You'll need your academic transcripts, degree certificate, and a copy of your Australian passport. If your degree is from a three-year program, have it ready for a potential equivalency explanation. Your employer will also need a detailed job description that specifies the degree requirement, the work location, and the offered wage relative to the DOL's prevailing wage for the role in that metropolitan area.
