ACE

ACE is committed to help unleash the potential of every Atlassian team. We work to better translate data into insights; to unlock data from siloes; to better centralize ownership; and to experiment and drive step-level changes with AI, ML and other cutting-edge tech. We can meet the stakeholder needs by driving better, faster, and more actionable insights for Atlassian. We have the skills and the business need to build more tools internally AND we benefit from working at Atlassian – which gives us the unique ability to build on-top of the company’s products suite and with the company’s platforms. We consistently come to the table knowing what the business needs, not just what they are asking for; reinforce our ability to execute; and continue to provide world-class (reliable + scalable) solutions.
