Hey!

I have an offer from Atlassian for a P50 role! ( Not a software engineer or tech role ) I am fairly happy with the base salary but from other offers I have seen the stock / RSU options seem low. Ive been offered 90k over 4 years but have seen others with offers of 90k per year. My shares would work out around 22k per year in shares which doesnt seem in line with other p50 offers who have comparably more.
Is there anyone who can share insights on what their share offers have been for this level?

Thanks!

Happy to answer any q’s

Hi all,

For a while I’ve been building atlcli, a tool for working with Jira and Confluence without living in the browser. It’s open source (Apache-2.0) and I’d love some outside eyes on it.

Repo: https://github.com/BjoernSchotte/atlcli · Docs: https://atlcli.sh

What it does

Scripting (new). Write Jira/Confluence automation in a few lines of TypeScript, with no imports and no boilerplate; atlcli.* is just there:

for await {const issue of atlcli.jira.search("project = TEAM AND updated < -180d")) {
await atlcli.jira.comment(issue.key, "Closing as stale");
await atlcli.jira.transition(issue.key, "Won't Do");
}

Scripts run in a QuickJS sandbox without file system or network access.

Every write is planned first: atlcli script run shows exactly what would change, and --plan-out plan.json saves the plan so it can be reviewed in a PR and applied later in CI.

On apply, atlcli checks that nothing changed in the meantime and writes nothing if it did. Re-running a script whose work is already done plans nothing.

Scripts can cover issues (create, update, transition, comment, link, assign, labels, attachments), sprints, pages (create, upsert, move, delete to trash, labels, comments, attachments) and PDF/DOCX exports.

Optional meta.permissionsrestricts a shared or AI-generated script to the projects and spaces it names.

PDF and Word export. Real, structured documents rather than a printed web page: a single page, a page tree or a whole space. Tables, panels, status badges, Jira macros, Draw.io/Gliffy and Mermaid diagrams keep their meaning. Output is tagged PDF (Typst engine) and native Word with your own templates. Anything that can’t render falls back visibly instead of disappearing silently.

DOCX and PDF import. Turn Word files and digital PDFs into native, editable Confluence pages. You always review first, and nothing is published without an explicit --confirm. PDF import is still experimental.

Bidirectional wiki sync. Pull a space into Markdown, edit it with your usual tools and Git, and push it back with conflict detection. Hierarchy, attachments and labels survive the round trip. Common macros become readable Markdown, third-party macros are preserved as raw XML, and round trips keep them intact.

Confluence as a virtual filesystem. Spaces are directories and pages are files, so ls, cat, grep and sed just work, in a shell or as a mounted volume. That also makes it handy for coding agents: no MCP server needed.

TUI. A fullscreen terminal UI for Jira and Confluence: boards, sprints, issues and pages, with a diff before every change.

Browser extension. Export the Confluence Cloud page you’re looking at to PDF or Word from a Chrome side panel, using the session you’re already signed in with. The PDF engine runs locally in the extension; content never goes to an external rendering service.

Cloud and Data Center

Both are supported. To be transparent: Confluence/Jira Cloud is my primary test path and gets live-tested for every feature. Data Center is covered by contract tests, but I’d especially appreciate reports from DC users.

Try it

brew install bjoernschotte/tap/atlcli    # or: curl -fsSL https://atlcli.sh/install.sh | bash
atlcli auth init
atlcli tui

Prebuilt binaries for macOS, Linux and Windows (extensively tested it on MacOS and Linux as I'm mainly working on these platforms).

Feedback very welcome

I’d really love to hear what you think: here in the comments, as a GitHub issue (bugs, missing features, this was confusing), or as a PR. And if you find it useful, a ⭐ on the repo helps a lot with visibility.

What would you automate first in Jira or Confluence?

Interviewed for P50 at Atlassian last month. Round-wise feedback:

DSA: Strong Hire

AI Coding: Weak Hire

System Design: Strong Hire/Hire (not sure, but its positive)

Values: Strong Hire/Hire (I don't know but its positive)

Manager: Downlevel to P40

Question for Atlassian folks who’ve been on hiring committees or seen this play out: with this feedback mix, what’s the likely outcome? Does the HC usually go with the manager’s downlevel call, or can a Strong Hire in DSA/System design balance things out? Do they ever offer an extra round to settle the level?

Not looking at P40 at 11 YoE, as its a reject itself.

YoE: 11

TC: 66L

Does anyone here use both Salesforce and Confluence in their daily workflow?

As an Atlassian Marketplace Partner, I spend my days living and breathing apps. But for over a decade, I was on the other side: a user just trying to get my company to approve the new app my team needed. I'm not promoting any app here. I just wrote this as a distilled version of my experience.

You finally found it: the exact Confluence app that will eliminate your team’s workflow nightmare. You are ready to install it, but instead, you hit a brick wall – the vendor approval process. Let’s look into the best practices that will help you get that new app approved.

The VAP gauntlet

For many Confluence and Jira users, getting a new app approved by corporate stakeholders is harder than actually implementing the tool. Here is a tactical playbook to help you navigate the red tape, answer the hard questions, and get your app approved as smoothly as corporately possible.

If you have ever tried to deploy software in a company with any sense of self-preservation, you’ve likely experienced a vendor approval process (VAP). Whether your company calls it supplier screening, vetting, or procurement, the reality is the same: it is a multi-stage gauntlet involving scrutiny by Legal, IT, Security, and Finance.

But Atlassian Marketplace apps often require a bit of extra explaining to get through the process.

The curious case of Atlassian Marketplace apps

Buying standard software usually means dealing directly with the vendor. There is a standalone contract, negotiated payment terms, and a dedicated pool of users. It fits neatly into a standard procurement spreadsheet.

Marketplace apps break this mold. They run on top of an application your company has already approved and is actively using. Billing is handled through your existing Atlassian invoice (or your Atlassian Solution Partner). User count and access are predetermined by your base site.

Because it doesn’t fit the standard SaaS procurement model, these details can easily bamboozle approvers at any stage of the VAP.

Think smart(phone): explaining apps to Legal and Finance

Legal and Finance teams are often dumbfounded by the concept of software that doesn’t run on its own infrastructure. When they ask for the vendor’s billing details, use the smartphone analogy.

Confluence is like a smartphone. You bought the phone, and it is yours. Now, you want to buy an app from the app store. You do not send a check to the app developer; you are billed centrally by Apple or Google. The Atlassian Marketplace operates exactly the same way. The infrastructure and billing are already established and approved.

Overcoming sticker shock: cost and licensing

The cost of a Marketplace app is directly tied to the license tier of your underlying Atlassian product. If you have 500 seats on your Confluence site, your app must be licensed for 500 users – even if your specific team only has 20 people.

To an accountant or IT reviewer unfamiliar with Atlassian’s pricing policies, this looks like massive overspending. Do your homework before you submit the request:

• Know your tier: Find out exactly how large your Jira or Confluence license is. If your company uses a Solution Partner, ask if they can secure a partner discount.
• Share the ROI: Team up with other departments to find secondary use cases. For example, a diagramming app requested by technical writers might also be incredibly valuable for the Engineering team’s architecture docs. A document approval workflow helps both HR and Compliance.
• Get a sponsor: Get the buy-in from a person in the decision-making hierarchy who’s most likely to understand both the need and the benefits – not just for your team but for the company and your customers.

Spreading the perceived cost across multiple departments elevates your request from a niche team expense to a general productivity booster.

Passing IT, Security, and Legal

When standard SaaS tools are vetted, Security teams want to know where the servers are, how data is encrypted, and who has access. Because Marketplace apps are hosted differently, you need to point them to the right Atlassian frameworks. Start with the Privacy & Security tab in the app’s marketplace listing.

• Security: Check if the app has the Cloud Fortified or Enterprise Certified badge on the Marketplace. This instantly tells your IT team that the app participates in Atlassian’s Bug Bounty program and meets strict reliability standards.
• Data Residency: Does your Legal team require data to stay in Europe or the US? Check the app’s privacy policy to see if it supports Atlassian’s data residency requirements.
• The Trust Center: Reputable vendors (including K15t) maintain a public Trust Center. Instead of letting your Security team start from scratch, hand them the link to the vendor’s security whitepapers, SOC2 reports, and architecture diagrams on day one.

The process is also the goal

When you do all this prep work, something interesting happens. Navigating the VAP stops being just a hurdle you have to jump to get your software, and instead becomes a way to build your internal capital.

There’s a collateral benefit to specifying these details: it will boost your reputation in the eyes of the reviewers. Suddenly, you’re not just requesting an app. You’re becoming an informed business stakeholder – a problem-solver instead of a procurement headache. You are proving that you understand the security and financial weight of your request, which makes them far more likely to finally stamp Approved.

I opened a support ticket on Oct. 15, no response from Atlassian.

I poked them twice, no response.

Is Atlassian out of business and I need to take my manager's advice and talk to Zendesk?

Having issues again with the MCP this morning.

Is the MCP having issues ?

I'm connected via Codex to automate some task creation, and I get constant timeout since this morning. I tried reconnecting my account many times, uninstalling the plugin, pretty much tried everything at this point. Still have the issues making the MCP unusable.

But the status page show no issues.

Any idea ?

Cerco colleghi per condividere progetti di implementazione Jira e collaborare residenti nord-est

Edit: working now.

The official Support Status page is woeful - not currently showing any outage.

I can't access https://community.atlassian.com/forums and getting constant 503 error. Possibly related to the PHP vulnerability.

I was just about to click submit on a long-ass Q&A post about importing attribute updates in the new Software Registry assets schema :(

I've seen Atlassian's recent September post on public sector investments and some people read it as "Jira on-prem is back". Facts:

• The air-gapped deployment is for US classified workloads, still in technical design, no date, no pricing, no product list.
• European sovereign cloud = early talks with unnamed providers. No partner, no country, no date.
• Jira Data Center end of life is still 28 March 2029, and you can't buy or expand licences after 30 March 2028.

So if you're a 500+ company in the EU under NIS2, DORA regulations, nothing here gives you an on-premises Jira option before DC dies. Isolated Cloud targets 15k seats, Government Cloud is US-only.

Has anyone actually got a date in writing from their account team?

I guess for those, who cloud is not an option, it's still time for Jira on-prem alternatives.

Every team I've worked with has a Confluence table that someone copies into a spreadsheet every week just to filter it or make a chart. I built Sift, a Forge app that does it in place. You point one macro at a table on the page, an attached CSV or JSON file, or pasted data. Then you add filters, pivot it (Sum, Count, Average, Median and so on) and show a table, a chart or both. Readers can filter and export to CSV without edit rights. It stores nothing and makes no external calls, so data is read with each viewer's permissions and processed in memory. It's free for up to 10 users. I'd genuinely like to hear what's missing from your table reporting in Confluence. Link: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/3589046780

We are trying to understand the common device management tools that enterprises use. We have come across Intune, Jamf, Kandji/Iru, Apple Business. Interested to learn what device management tools do you use and what type of integration do you have with Jira Service management? Do you load the device information in Assets?
Thank you.

I just found out today that there isn't an option to add a simple horizontal timeline with milestones that I can plot on top of it (at least not without either external install or convoluted workarounds).

Seriously? after so many years of development? How about skipping the AI crap (aka Rovo, which was no help) and taking care of the basics?

Hi all, I’m through to the final stage in the interview process, and their recruiter told me it would take another 1-3 weeks for the background checks to be completed once an offer has been made.

Does anyone have any experience with their background checks, especially in the UK? Curious to know what company they use, what checks they run and how long it actually takes?

I have an offer elsewhere, so wondering whether/how long I can hold out before I let the other company know definitively.

Hey all,

Mihai from LeanZero here. Gabriela and I are both Atlassian Certified Administration Experts (ACAE, the successor to ACE), and along the way we've helped other people get their ACPs too. And every time, the same complaint: practice material is either thin, outdated, or you can't tell why the "right" answer is right.

So we thought: BUT WHAT IF every single answer pointed you to the exact Atlassian sentence it rests on?

And so we built it. 3,138 questions across all five ACP exams: ACP-120 (Jira Administration for Cloud), ACP-220 (Confluence Administration for Cloud), ACP-420 (Managing Jira Service Projects for Cloud), ACP-520 (Atlassian Cloud Organization Admin) and ACP-620 (Managing Jira Projects for Cloud). ACP-620 is the newest bank and still marked experimental. The questions are mostly procedurally generated, with a pinch of AI to help, and every answer quotes the actual Atlassian documentation and links to the page, so you can check us instead of trusting us. Not just the right option either, every option gets its own explanation of why it's right or wrong. Putting all of that together was painstakingly hard, I won't lie.

What you get:

- quick mocks, or a full paper at the exam's real length with the real clock on

- your score split by the official blueprint domains, weakest first, with each domain's weight next to it

- instant explanations while you learn, or keep them hidden until the end for an honest rehearsal

- flag questions and jump around the paper, like the real thing

It's free. You request a key by email, no account, no password, and yes, we'll send you the odd LeanZero email too, unsubscribe whenever you like. To be clear, these aren't Atlassian's exam questions and we're not Atlassian, they're our own, built from the docs.

If you're studying for one right now, try a mock and tell me where it's wrong. That's honestly the most useful thing you could do for us.

Anyone else facing issues with Bitbucket right now? Getting an “upstream connect error / connection timeout” when trying to open my workspace. A few of my colleagues are facing the same issue. Is Bitbucket down or is it a network issue?

Has anyone migrated ServiceNow CMDB to Assets or integrated (co-exist) ServiceNow CMDB with Assets. What are the design considerations, lessons learnt and limitations you encountered? How did you do it? Manual imports or use of integration tools?
Appreciate your comments.

The other day atlassian decided to shut down out tenant and we can no longer get to our Confluence Premium or Jira cloud environments. I have had a ticket open for over 24 hours with no response from support. The partner we purchase atlassian products also cannot get a response from them.

Has any I've else run into this in the past? It's there any way to escalate or contact support other than their portal?
