Why we read it this way (6)
The role is classified as a systems administrator (15-1244) rather than a software developer because its primary day-to-day work is administering and operating Atlassian SaaS platforms (Jira, Confluence, JSM) — configuring workflows, managing spaces, and supporting users — rather than building and shipping software products. However, the scripting/automation requirement (Python/Java, REST APIs) introduces a meaningful development component, making 15-1252 a plausible runner-up.
Tempo, Xray, ScriptRunner, and Structure appear in the Required Skills section as named third-party apps ('like Tempo, Xray, Script runner and Structure'), so they are treated as hard gates despite the 'like' qualifier — the qualifier signals interchangeability of specific tools within that category, not that the requirement itself is optional.
Atlassian Cloud migration (Data Center to Cloud) is listed under Required Skills but framed as 'Exposure to' — a softer qualifier — so it is treated as preferred rather than a hard gate.
The posting describes a hybrid work environment; fully remote is not offered.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Jira Service Management.
