The first class of Atlassian Hack House<\/a> graduates have highlighted their achievements since participating in the program, after the second class began work yesterday.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Atlassian, founded in 2002 by Mike Cannon-Brookes and Scott Farquhar, helps organisations plan, build and launch software. Customers include Citigroup, eBay, Netflix and Nike.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In February last year, Atlassian announced it would send 10 software graduates to its Hack House for a week of training, coding and team-building activities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Graduates are required to complete their first ShipIt Day, during which they\u2019re given 24 hours to build an add-on, update or feature for an existing Atlassian product.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the end of the week, they present their projects to Atlassian\u2019s Sydney team.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was told that I would be writing a ShipIt project in my first week of work, I was very excited,\u201d says Robert Massaioli, a Hack House 2012 graduate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cHow often can you claim that you built something completely new for your company at your own discretion, let alone in your first week of work?\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A number of Hack House projects have been incorporated into Atlassian products and sold through the Atlassian Marketplace, where customers can browse, try and buy product add-ons.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Two graduates from last year\u2019s program built a software add-on product for Atlassian Confluence \u2013 a team and content collaboration tool. It has received close to 500 downloads.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cUsing what we\u2019d learned at Hack House, we identified a need and built a plug-in,\u201d says Christopher Doble.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWithin 24 hours, we had it selling on the Atlassian Marketplace. It\u2019s used by a few enterprise customers on a daily basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last year, the Hack House was located in the beachside suburb of Narrabeen in northern Sydney. This year, it is taking place at an upscale apartment in inner-city suburb Surry Hills.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Participants will spend the week receiving training and mentorship from Atlassian engineers, work on some of Atlassian\u2019s products, and build products to be sold on Atlassian Marketplace.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to Joris Luijke, Atlassian vice president of talent, Hack House is a snapshot of what a career at Atlassian would be like.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve worked hard to build a culture of \u2018work hard, play hard\u2019 and Hack House is a perfect embodiment of this value,\u201d Luijke says.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe look not only for the best and the brightest talent\u2026 but we also look for those who can thrive in a dynamic environment and support the spirit of innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Interested graduates, or students finishing a degree in computer science or software engineering, are encouraged to apply for Atlassian\u2019s upcoming graduate and intern programs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Atlassian will cover the relocation costs for participants based outside of Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
