Job Description
- Atlassian Developer (Jira Cloud Forge Specialist)
Position Overview
- We are seeking a highly experienced and product-focused Atlassian Developer specializing in Jira Cloud Forge.
- This is a dedicated development role centered on building, securing, and scaling complex custom applications and integrations that extend the core capabilities of Jira Cloud for enterprise use.
- The ideal candidate is a hands-on professional who can immediately contribute to the architecture, design, and implementation of new business solutions.
Note:
- This position requires deep, proven expertise in the Forge development framework and is not suited for developers without direct experience or Jira administrators seeking a development transition.
Key Responsibilities
- Forge Application Development & Architecture
- Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable, and secure Jira Cloud applications exclusively using the Atlassian Forge framework and APIs.
- Architect and implement native Forge modules, including Custom UI/React components, Global Pages, Contextual Gadgets/Panels, Custom Fields, and advanced Workflow Validators/Post-Functions.
- Effectively utilize Forge platform primitives, including Forge Storage, Custom Fetch, Web Triggers, Resolvers, Queues, and Event-Driven Functions to handle complex, asynchronous business logic.
- Apply best-practice secure coding standards and scalable API design principles to all application development.
Integration & Platform Expertise
- Integrate Jira Cloud with external SaaS platforms and internal services using the Jira REST APIs and secure outbound connections via Forge.
- Develop custom business logic, validation rules, and workflow extensions that precisely meet specific organizational requirements.
- Provide advanced technical support and performance tuning for custom Jira Cloud applications, configurations, and integrations.
Collaboration & Delivery
- Collaborate closely with Product Owners, Business Analysts, and cross-functional teams to gather requirements, define technical solutions, and ensure alignment with strategic business objectives.
- Document technical designs, deployment procedures, and testing plans for all custom solutions.
Required Technical Expertise
- Forge Mastery: Proven, hands-on experience in architecting and deploying multiple Jira Cloud applications using the Atlassian Forge framework.
- Core Languages: Strong proficiency in JavaScript (ES6+) and TypeScript.
- Frontend: Deep experience building interfaces using React (Custom UI) or the Forge UI Kit.
- Platform Knowledge: Comprehensive understanding of the Jira Cloud platform, including the configuration layer (Issue Types, Screens, Field Contexts, Workflow Schemes, and advanced Permissions).
- APIs & Data: Strong familiarity with the Jira Cloud REST APIs and leveraging data effectively within Forge applications.
- Architecture: Solid knowledge of Forge authentication mechanisms, asynchronous processing, and event handling within the Atlassian platform ecosystem.
Quality:
- Ability to design, implement, and test performant, maintainable, and reusable code solutions.
Preferred Attributes (Nice to Have)
- Experience with legacy scripting in Server/Data Center (e.g., Groovy/ScriptRunner, Power Scripts/SIL) to support migration or comparative analysis.
- Familiarity with Jira Expressions for dynamic condition and validation logic.
- Working knowledge of SQL for understanding data structures and supporting external reporting efforts.
- Familiarity with modern deployment practices (CI/CD, version control via Git).
Cultural Fit
- Self-Starter: A highly proactive individual with a passion for innovation and continuous skill development in a rapidly evolving platform.
- Communication: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to translate complex business needs into clear, actionable technical specifications and vice-versa.
- Delivery Focus: Proven track record of delivering high-quality, stable, and user-centric Jira customizations in a large-scale enterprise environment.
TekWissen Group is an equal opportunity employer supporting workforce diversity.
