Digital Hub strengthen ties with Atlassian's recruitment drive

The Sunshine Coast’s emerging tech talent is attracting interest from Australian tech giant Atlassian. 

Atlassian, a leading provider of team collaboration and productivity software, will host a recruitment drive at Noosa Council’s Peregian Digital Hub on Thursday 27 October – as it visits the Sunshine Coast on a tour of nine talent hotspots around the country.

Hub Director Chris Boden said it’s exciting for the local digital ecosystem to know that Atlassian is recruiting in the region.

“To be able to work for a world class tech company like Atlassian while living in a world renowned lifestyle destination really is an incredible opportunity,” he said.

Mr Boden said Atlassian's innovative recruitment approach taps into a large talent pool of people living outside major cities.

“Atlassian recruiters will discuss new flexible working opportunities as part of its 'Team Anywhere' work policy,” he said.

Atlassian and the Peregian Digital Hub are inviting the Sunshine Coast's tech talent to visit the AtlassiVan, a pop-up recruitment office, onsite from 10am to 4pm on Thursday 27th October to enjoy a sausage sizzle and find out more about the exciting roles available at the company and in the broader tech sector,” he said.

Atlassian co-founder and co-founder Scott Farquhar said the company is seeking to hire over a thousand new R&D professionals in the next 12 months.

“We know great talent exists across all seven million square metres of Australia. From Maroochydore, Mapleton or even a motorhome, you can be part of our team from anywhere.” Mr Farquhar said.

Atlassian is hiring across a range of specialisms from full-stack engineers, backend infrastructure engineers and specialised areas like security.'

Mr Boden encourages those living on the Coast to make the most of Thursday’s visit
