The role in plain terms

Internal-tools administration is leverage work: Jira is where the company's plans and workflows live, so the person running it shapes how thousands of engineers work. The listing's framing around AI changing the leverage available to teams suggests this role will also explore AI-assisted workflows on top of the Atlassian stack. At 3+ years this is an accessible specialist role with company-wide visibility.

The team and the work

Per the listing, the scope covers Jira Software and Jira Service Management on the cloud platform - configuration, workflows, automation and the governance that keeps a large organisation's instance usable.

What the employer asks for

These requirements are quoted from the employer's listing, kept in their exact words so eligibility details are not distorted:

BE/B.Tech or relevant technical degree
3+ years of hands-on Atlassian administration experience, including Jira Software and Jira Service Management (Jira Cloud) in enterprise environments
Solid working knowledge of Jira workflow design, including post functions, validators, and conditions; strong command of JQL for filters, subscriptions, dashboards, and board configuration
Hands-on experience contributing to Jira migrations (Data Center to Cloud), including project configuration migration and data integrity validation
Experience configuring Jira Cloud native tooling for reporting and planning
Flexible to work in USA overlapping work hours
Hands-on experience with the Jira REST API using tools like Postman (GET/PUT/POST) for data extraction, integration, and reporting; maintaining integration touchpoints with AtlassianCloud through service...
Familiarity with integrating Atlassian tools with identity providers such as Okta and LDAP, and with user lifecycle and license management practices

Who this role suits

Atlassian administrators with 3+ years of hands-on Jira Cloud and JSM experience who want ownership of a large instance. Not for generalist IT engineers without deep Jira administration - the requirement is specific.

Practical notes

For Atlassian admin roles, expect questions on workflow design, permission schemes, automation rules and migration experience. A story about cleaning up a messy instance or scaling governance will resonate.
