About this role
Working at Atlassian
Atlassians can choose where they work – whether in an office, from home, or a combination of the two. That way, Atlassians have more control over supporting their family, personal goals, and other priorities. We can hire people in any country where we have a legal entity.
About Loom
Loom is Atlassian’s async video product — a fast, human way for teams to communicate without another meeting. Instead of typing a long message or scheduling a call, you record a quick video walkthrough, update, or training and share it as a link, and your teammates watch on their own time. Now part of Atlassian, Loom integrates directly into the tools teams already use, syncing into Confluence and powering AI-generated transcripts and summaries through Rovo so no one misses the context. Millions of people already rely on Loom to work together across time zones, and the product is entering an exciting new phase — expanding how async video helps people and AI agents collaborate. Joining the Loom Analytics team means shaping the direction of a product people genuinely love, at the intersection of product strategy, customer insight, and experimentation.
