Support federal compliance needs, including FISMA/ATO-related documentation, audit support, and configuration baselines in accordance with security and governance requirements.
Ensure Atlassian configurations, integrations, and plugins adhere to security controls, least privilege, data protection, and logging requirements.
Contribute to and enforce standards, patterns, guardrails, and best practices for Atlassian usage across the enterprise.
Collaborate with Agile, DevSecOps, and mission delivery teams to configure Atlassian tools that align with Agile/SAFe frameworks, ceremonies, and reporting structures.
Identify opportunities to enhance automation, workflow efficiency, and user experience across Jira, Confluence, and JSM.
