Description

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).
