With over 30,000 customers, including a third of Fortune 500 companies, Tempo is trusted by organizations across the globe to make their workflows work better.
We create a suite of integrated solutions for time management, resource planning, budget management, roadmapping, program management, reporting and more. We create the tech that enables the modern team to deliver – for every step from first vision to value.
Since our beginning in 2007 as a project to make a time-tracking tool to help a client – Tempo has expanded to become the #1 time management add-on for Jira, and we have developed and acquired a multitude of tools to become one of the most trusted names in the Atlassian ecosystem.
We want everyone to work better – but we also want to be a tech company with a heart. Join us as we continuously innovate our award-winning products, create new solutions, and help the world work smarter, not harder.
About the role:
We are looking for a motivated Middle Full Stack Engineer to help maintain and support our BI Connectors for Jira Data Center – a mature, multi-product Atlassian app that exports Jira data into leading BI platforms (Power BI, Tableau, BigQuery, Databases, and OData-based tools).
This is a core reliability and engineering role on a highly successful product with a massive, active user base. Your work is the backbone of the product, ensuring rock-solid stability, compatibility, and security for the teams that rely on it daily. Your time will be spent doing deep-dive investigations to solve complex customer challenges, engineering seamless compatibility with new Jira Data Center and database releases, modernizing dependencies to bulletproof security, and shipping targeted, high-impact improvements.
This is a high-ownership, high-impact position. As you master the architecture, you will become the definitive technical authority when the trickiest, highest-stakes integration problems arise. We care deeply about engineering actual solutions to root causes, not just burning through a queue of tickets. We are looking for a developer who thrives on deciphering complex, real-world codebases, possesses the discipline to build things the right way, and takes immense professional pride in software that simply never goes down.
What you’ll do:
Investigate and troubleshoot customer and support issues end-to-end – reproduce, find the root cause, and ship reliable fixes in a timely manner
Maintain and stabilize the existing codebase, keeping it compatible across multiple Jira Data Center versions and database vendors
Keep the product current and secure – upgrade dependencies, address CVEs, and adapt to new Jira and database releases
Support customers migrating between environments, including Data Center → Cloud paths
Make targeted improvements and enhancements
Write and maintain unit and integration tests to protect against regressions
Participate in peer code reviews, upholding coding standards and best practices (our code is also gated by automated quality and security checks)
Work with our GitHub-based CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) – keeping builds green, and running and releasing the product through the automated pipeline
Work closely with support, QA, PMs, and other stakeholders, and build durable, shareable knowledge of the product and its BI integrations
Tech Stack
Back-end: Java 8, Spring (via the Atlassian Plugin SDK / Spring Scanner), Maven, REST APIs, SQL across multiple relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL Server)
Front-end: TypeScript, React, Redux / Redux Toolkit, Vite, Jest & React Testing Library
Platform & tooling: Atlassian Jira Data Center (P2 plugin), Git & GitHub, GitHub Actions (CI/CD), automated code-quality and security checks
Who you are:
3+ years of relevant full-stack work experience
Solid back-end experience with Java and the Spring ecosystem (dependency injection, REST controllers); comfortable reading and safely changing an existing framework-based codebase rather than only greenfield work
Good command of relational databases and SQL, with the judgment to debug data correctness and query-performance issues (bonus across more than one vendor – PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL Server)
Practical experience maintaining production UIs with React (hooks, component composition) and TypeScript in a typed codebase
Familiarity with state management (Redux / Redux Toolkit, MobX, or comparable) and a modern front-end build tool (Vite or Webpack)
Good understanding of OOP, common design patterns, and automated testing
Highly analytical, with a genuine passion for debugging – reproducing hard-to-repeat issues and chasing them to their real root cause is a core part of this role
A sense of ownership – able to work with autonomy, comfortable picking up unfamiliar areas and support tickets and driving them to resolution
Good communication skills in English (B2+ / upper-intermediate or higher) – you’ll work with international colleagues and support/customer requests, in writing and in meetings
Nice to Have
Experience developing or maintaining Atlassian Data Center apps (P2 plugins, Atlassian Plugin SDK, Spring Scanner, Marketplace) – or a strong willingness to learn the platform
Experience supporting a customer-facing product and working directly with support/customer requests
Familiarity with BI/analytics tooling or the OData protocol
Experience with performance profiling and optimization on large datasets
Awareness of secure coding practices (input validation, injection, SSRF, dependency CVEs)
Awareness of Atlassian Cloud and Cloud-migration paths (e.g., JCMA) for Data Center apps
