Recommendations and Guidance

Hi Atlassian Community,

I’m don’t know if this is the right place to ask. Apologies in advance, happy for advice and guidance.

I’ve spent several years working extensively with Atlassian Data Center environments across Jira and Confluence, covering upgrades, migrations, integrations, platform engineering, security governance, risk, controls, and operational support within complex enterprise environments.

Recently, my role was made redundant as part of organisational changes, and I’m currently exploring new opportunities within the Atlassian ecosystem.

One thing I’m actively trying to understand is how best to position and showcase deep Data Center experience in today’s increasingly cloud-focused market.

A lot of organisations understandably prioritise Atlassian Cloud experience, but for those who have successfully navigated this transition, I’d genuinely value your perspective:

- How are you positioning your Data Center expertise today?

- Which aspects of DC experience resonate most with employers hiring for modern Atlassian roles?

- What cloud capabilities should experienced DC engineers prioritise first?

- Are organisations still valuing hybrid or transformation experience during cloud migration journeys?

Would really appreciate guidance, industry perspective, or advice from others in the community who’ve gone through a similar transition.

Also happy to connect with teams or professionals working in enterprise Atlassian transformation, governance, migration, or platform engineering spaces.

Regards
