Hermeus is a venture-backed defense aviation company reclaiming the lost art of rapid iterative prototyping to build the fastest aircraft in the world today. By prioritizing relentless hardware iteration, we deliver high-speed systems at the pace of the modern battlefield. We work with the Department of War to provide the high-speed capabilities our nation and its allies need to maintain a durable, asymmetric advantage.

As an Enterprise IT Admin, you will be responsible for owning and scaling Atlassian platforms (Jira, Confluence) by configuring workflows, permissions, and reporting, while driving governance, data hygiene, and cross-functional alignment across teams. This role serves as the central point of contact for platform operations and improvements, leading integrations, user support, and a critical Data Center-to-Cloud migration to ensure seamless, scalable internal systems.

Responsibilities

Administer and continuously improve our Jira and Confluence environments — including project configuration, permission schemes, workflows, issue types, space architecture, license management, and user provisioning

Build and maintain dashboards, filters, and reporting to give stakeholders visibility into project status and team capacity

Partner closely with stakeholders across the company — including MarComm, Engineering, Operations, and more — to design Jira projects and Confluence spaces that reflect how each team works

Develop and enforce governance standards for space ownership, page templates, project naming conventions, and data hygiene

Serve as the primary point of contact for Atlassian platform requests — triaging and fulfilling tickets from users while maintaining runbooks and end-user documentation

Proactively identify opportunities to improve how teams work — whether through a new integration, add-on, or better use of existing features — and drive awareness and adoption company-wide

Play a key role in our planned Data Center to Cloud migration — assessing app compatibility, coordinating cutover planning, and ensuring continuity for users throughout the transition

Manage other platforms including Airtable and DocuSign

Requirements

3+ years of hands-on Jira and Confluence administration experience in a production environment, including Jira/Confluence Data Center

Deep familiarity with Jira project types (classic and next-gen/team-managed), workflow customization, permission schemes, and automation rules

Experience designing and governing Confluence space architecture, templates, and permissions at scale

Hands-on ScriptRunner experience — writing Groovy scripts to extend Jira workflows, automate transitions, and implement custom behaviors that native automation can't handle

Practical experience with the Jira and Confluence REST APIs: building integrations, scripting bulk operations, and connecting Atlassian tools to other platforms

Track record of working directly with non-technical stakeholders to scope and deliver platform solutions

Comfortable managing competing priorities across multiple teams with different working styles and maturity levels

Strong written communication skills — you can explain a complex workflow to an engineer and a non-technical executive equally well

Preferred Skills & Experience

Experience with Jira Service Management or ITSM workflows

Exposure to compliance-adjacent environments (GovCloud, FedRAMP, CMMC, or similar)

Atlassian certification (ACP-100 or equivalent) a plus, not a requirement

$117,300 - $184,000 a year
