Manager, Application Engineering - ​​Atlassian Cloud Platform

As Manager, Atlassian Cloud Platform, you will lead the team responsible for the strategy, administration, governance, delivery, and operational health of Riot’s Atlassian Platform which currently includes Jira. You will manage a team of application engineers, administrators, solution architects, and/or analysts who partner with teams across Riot to build scalable systems of work, improve the Rioter experience, and enable better outcomes through thoughtful use of Atlassian technology. Jira is a foundational enterprise capability for planning, delivering, and operating work across Riot.

Jira supports and enables the majority of player-facing value streams at Riot. This is a player/coach role where you will set direction and create the conditions for your team to deliver, while maintaining enough craft depth to guide platform architecture, configuration, automation, integrations, security, service management, and operational decisions. You will partner closely with Information Technology, Information Security, Enterprise, and teams across Riot to balance customer needs, platform standards, risk, capacity, and near-term business priorities.

For this role, success means building a healthy, high-performing team; delivering a dependable Jira platform; establishing clear and scalable governance; and providing a frictionless environment for our game teams and the teams that support them. Ultimately, you win when teams at Riot spend less time blocked and more time making great games f
