• Hire engineers for the team and maintain a high bar for technical talent
• Evaluate and develop engineers through regular feedback, coaching, and growth planning
• Coach the team to work effectively and responsibly with AI agents
• Uphold engineering principles across the full software lifecycle, including design, development, testing, release, and operations
• Apply documented verification protocols appropriate to each artifact type, including code, tests, documentation, and infrastructure
• Run evaluations prior to merge and retain human-controlled approval and merge authority for production branches
• Maintain strong automated test coverage across unit, integration, and end-to-end testing
• Track and report key engineering metrics, including required reporting to Atlassian Compass
• Facilitate bi-weekly demonstrations from the cloud environment, showcasing both product capabilities and agent-assisted workflows
• Partner closely with the dedicated production support organization, which owns frontline product operations
• Reduce operational toil through automation, including agent-assisted workflows where appropriate
• Implement explicit guardrails, blast-radius controls, and audit trails for all production-impacting automation
• Maintain an up-to-date inventory of WIZ Critical and Major findings and ensure timely remediation within established SLAs
