## Description

As Datavant scales, Jira and the broader Atlassian ecosystem increasingly underpin how teams coordinate work, manage services, connect systems, and provide visibility across the organization. As our Atlassian Platform Architect , you will own the technical direction, architecture, health, and evolution of Jira, Jira Service Management, Confluence, and the broader Atlassian ecosystem.

This is a senior, hands-on role combining enterprise architecture with deep technical delivery. You will define the target architecture, roadmap, governance, data and integration standards, while personally designing and implementing complex automations, integrations, workflows, reporting, and service management solutions.

You will lead platform remediation and transformation, reduce technical debt, and ensure the environment remains secure, resilient, scalable, and maintainable. You will also serve as the senior technical partner to our Jira administration team, setting the standards they work to and taking ownership of changes requiring deeper architecture or engineering expertise.

What You Will Do

 * Define and maintain the target architecture, technical strategy and prioritized roadmap for Jira, JSM, Confluence and the wider Atlassian ecosystem.
 * Establish enterprise standards for data models, workflows, schemes, fields, permissions, automation, integrations, reporting and naming conventions.
 * Take ownership of platform health and lead the remediation of configuration sprawl, technical debt, duplicate objects and inconsistent platform patterns.
 * Design and implement complex solutions using Jira Automation, Rovo, ScriptRunner, REST APIs, webhooks and Marketplace applications.
 * Define JSM and ITSM architecture supporting service requests, incidents, problems, changes, knowledge and asset management.
 * Establish integration standards covering APIs, identity systems, authentication, data ownership, monitoring, error handling and recovery.
 * Define security, privacy, availability, recoverability, performance, data-retention and audit requirements.
 * Introduce architecture reviews, change controls and lifecycle-management processes that protect the platform while supporting delivery.
 * Lead major platform remediation, consolidation, migration, redesign and integration initiatives.
 * Evaluate Marketplace applications and emerging Atlassian capabilities, including Atlassian Intelligence and Rovo, based on security, privacy, cost and maintainability.
 * Partner with IT, Security, Privacy, Compliance, Enterprise Systems, Product and Engineering to translate requirements into sustainable technical solutions.
 * Provide technical leadership to Jira administrators by reviewing complex changes, establishing reusable patterns, mentoring the team and taking ownership of high-risk work.
 * Act as the senior escalation point for architectural issues, significant platform risks and complex technical decisions.
 * Support licensing, application rationalization, vendor decisions and platform investment planning.
