About the role

Overview

The purpose of the Central AI organization within Atlassian is to accelerate AI innovation and development across Atlassian's products and platform.

The organization focuses on building horizontal AI capabilities and infrastructure that can be leveraged across various products.

Additionally, Central AI is responsible for developing centralized Search, Q&A, and Conversational AI across all Atlassian products which form the basis for Atlassian’s Rovo AI product offering, as well as exploring integration with AI products outside Atlassian

Central AI is structured around three main pillars:

Responsibilities

As we scale our AI-powered chat experiences for Atlassian Rovo we are looking to accelerate both the building of deep first-party (1P) agents across our products as well as enable our customers to build their own AI powered agents customised to their workflows.

The impact is broad and can range from resolving customer inquiries in Jira Service Management to automatically grooming a backlog in Jira through to our more cutting edge DevAI agents that automatically write and deploy code. Your role will be helping build the foundations that accelerate these teams to provide impact.
