Overview
DX Fabric — The Context Engine for AI-Native Engineering

What we're building

DX Fabric is the foundational platform that equips engineering organizations with the architectural context, health signals, and impact measurement they need to thrive in the AI era. We're building the context engine that powers AI agents and high-performing teams — a unified software catalog, scorecards, and self-service platform that helps companies understand their entire software ecosystem, find bottlenecks, and drive real improvements at scale.

Think of it this way: as AI agents become part of every engineering workflow, someone needs to give them the context to do their job well — ownership, dependencies, standards, guardrails. That's us. We're building the layer that makes AI-native engineering actually work.

Why this team is different

We operate like a startup inside Atlassian. Our engineering team is intentionally small, which means every engineer owns a massive surface area and ships at extremely high velocity. There's zero fluff — minimal meetings, no bureaucracy, and a culture that maximizes builder time. You won't be handed a pixel-perfect spec and asked to code it. Engineers here think deeply about the end-to-end user experience, collaborate closely with product and design, and iterate quickly based on real customer feedback.

DX was recently acquired by Atlassian, which means you get the best of both worlds: the speed, ownership, and autonomy of a high-growth startup, backed by the resources, scale, and reach of a company whose products are used by hundreds of thousands of teams worldwide.

Responsibilities

What you'd work on

  • Systems Catalog — Mapping software entities, dependencies, and ownership across entire engineering organizations, creating the context layer that informs AI agents and developer tooling.

  • Scorecards — Defining standards and guardrails for both human engineers and AI agents, measuring progress, and surfacing what's actually moving the needle.

  • Self-Service & Agent Ops — Building automated workflows and agentic capabilities that close gaps against standards and let engineers help themselves.

  • Scale challenges — Fabric supports customers with hundreds of thousands of repositories. You'd be solving real infrastructure and data problems at enterprise scale.

Tech stack: Rails, React, TailwindCSS, PostgreSQL — we write a lot of SQL, do heavy database optimization, and keep our tech deliberately simple. We're focused on solving user problems well, not chasing the latest framework.

Qualifications

Your background:

  • 4+ years experience with one or more prominent languages such as Java, Python, Kotlin, Go, Ruby or Scala is required.

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree (preferably a Computer Science degree or equivalent experience).

  • Experience performing platform integrations using REST.

  • A background in working with GIT in a collaborative team setting.

  • Familiarity with server technologies (NPM, Docker, NGINX, Express/Node).

  • A love for working collaboratively on a team with varied strengths. If you've got these skills, even better:

  • Experience working with an enterprise content management system - Experience working with cloud platforms like AWS
