Atlassian is looking for a senior Data Scientist to join our Experimentation Data Science team. The Experimentation Data Science team partners with the experimentation engineering team to help unlock Atlassian’s experimentation capabilities. We help teams execute experiment successfully by delivering training, tools, and analyses to go from idea to decision as quickly as possible. This is a unique opportunity to work in a collaborative environment to create a culture of experimentation and tackle challenging problems as we scale.
Compensation
At Atlassian, we strive to design equitable, explainable, and competitive compensation programs. To support this goal, the baseline of our range is higher than that of the typical market range, but in turn we expect to hire most candidates near this baseline.
