About the role

Airbnb's Tech Foundations work is centered on the Atlassian platforms that support how teams across the company operate, set against a broader push to embed AI into day-to-day systems and workflows. The team is running a Jira Data Center deprecation and transition program to Jira Cloud, using native Jira Cloud tooling, Forge applications, and Rovo AI agents. This role is a hands-on Systems Engineer who configures, maintains, and improves Airbnb's Atlassian environment and owns end-to-end delivery of migration and configuration workstreams within that program.

What you will do

  • Administer Jira Cloud Software (JSW), Jira Cloud Service Management (JSM), and associated Atlassian tooling; take ownership of assigned parts of the environment to improve reliability and quality, following established configuration standards and governance
  • Design and implement Jira configurations including custom workflows, issue type hierarchies, permission schemes, notification schemes, screens, and field configurations aligned with Atlassian best practices, contributing independently to designs and seeking senior review where needed
  • Deliver end-to-end migration workstreams within the Jira Data Center to Cloud program, such as migrating a set of projects or a configuration domain, coordinating with stakeholders on cutover readiness
  • Configure Jira Service Management projects including SLAs, custom queues, JSM Forms, approval workflows, and security schemes to support internal service delivery teams
  • Build and maintain dashboards and reporting using native Jira Cloud tooling; Airbnb has elected to avoid Atlassian Marketplace products for information security, privacy, and legal reasons. Support and maintain Airbnb's custom Forge applications in partnership with supporting systems engineering teams
  • Support Atlassian access management, user lifecycle management, and license hygiene, and contribute to security posture improvements
  • Partner with business stakeholders in requirements-gathering sessions, translate needs into configuration and automation solutions, and proactively highlight issues or risks in the work
  • Configure Atlassian Rovo AI agents and automation rules; evaluate trade-offs between delivery speed and long-term sustainability, and apply AI responsibly and in context
  • Write and maintain automation rules using Jira's native Automation engine and JavaScript; use the Jira REST API for integrations, data imports, and custom reporting
  • Support testing cycles for platform changes and migrations; write and run test scripts, track defects, and ensure a rollback plan is in place before changes ship
  • Participate in Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, retrospectives, standups) for platform-focused workstreams
  • Keep system configurations, runbooks, and knowledge base articles up to date to support operational continuity and self-service
  • Participate in the on-call rotation, respond to Atlassian platform incidents, and contribute to post-incident reviews
  • Identify and reduce technical debt over time; provide constructive input in design and configuration reviews, and help teammates learn through specific examples and timely feedback
  • Participate in hiring and onboarding, delivering clear and timely feedback on candidates
