Wanted: VP of Engineering @ Atlassian
Hello blog readers. Quite some time eh? Nothing new there. Life’s been busy!
In the last 6 months I turned 30, travelled a few laps of the globe, got married to the most wonderful woman on the planet, took a long holiday for the first time since we started and now I’m back on deck in Sydney leading 250 awesome Atlassian’s… and 2010 has barely started.
Phew!
It’s going to be an absolutely huge year.
I’m hoping to write more this year, but like always – life seems to get in the way!
For now, we’re looking for people… lots of people – software engineers, QA engineers, UX designers, support engineers. If you want to work for Atlassian, or move to Sydney or SF – this is your chance. For details, see our 32 hiring campaign page for videos on all aspects of the job and life at Atlassian.
Specifically, we’re searching the world for an absolutely rockstar VP of Engineering to lead Atlassian’s team of engineers in Sydney and San Francisco.
If you think that’s you, see the job ad for details or watch Scott below talking about what the position will be like… oh, and you get to work for Scott and I! I guarantee it will be an experience you’ll never forget
If you know anyone suitable – or maybe you’re just an engineer whose boss is absolutely kick ass but you want him to move so you can get his job, please send them a link.
If you heard about the job on this blog and you send the right candidate, I’ll personally mail you a case of Aussie beer anywhere in the world.
Until next year blog readers, thanks for your loyalty

Good luck Mike – sounds like a great job for the right person.
Someone who has grown an engineering team from 200 head count to 500 head count… that’s definitely out of my league (and I’m glad it is seeing as I just got my company registration docs for going out and start my own thing after 5 years in a corporate environment).
I’m not sure threatening people with Aussie beer is the right thing to do …
I think that’s the first time I’ve ever seen you wearing a tie!
Oooh… a chance to get a case of VB! Congratulations Mike!
Congratulations to you and your beloved wife
