A NATO organisation is running a short, sharp piece of work with an unusual shape: beforeit can go to market for a replacement, it needs its current cyber operations management platform —built on Atlassian Jira and Confluence Data Center — reproduced as a working mock-up, described asrequirements a third party could build from, and demonstrated live to industry. Four months, fullyremote, at your own facilities.
What you would be doing
Building the mock-up. A simulated environment reproducing what the liveplatform does today across its two networks — the Jira and Confluence relationship, every plugin onthe production instance, all the Jira processes that support the operational missions, and thesupporting processes alongside them.
Reproducing the harder machinery, not just the screens: the mechanism that lets low-sideworkflows be tracked from the high side with its hand-over and take-over, the wiki pages thatpublish dynamically off Jira issue changes, and the dynamic page templates behind the scaffoldingand reporting.
Loading enough mock data that every process can be run at least ten times over without everreusing the same record.
Capturing the requirements. Turning the mock-up into functional andnon-functional requirements in a NATO AQAP-conforming format — readable and unambiguous to a companywith no prior knowledge of the organisation — grouped logically, with the data that would have tomigrate to any new capability identified, drafted in Confluence and delivered as a Worddocument.
Every requirement unique, testable, verifiable, unambiguous, traceable and necessary.
Making the video. A recorded walkthrough introducing the platform and steppingthrough each requirement, with the timecode of each one noted in the requirements document. 1920x1080minimum, H.264/AVC, audio at 44 kHz or better, narrated by a native English speaker or someone atSTANAG 6001 speaking level 4, and hosted by you for the contract plus two months.
Running the live demo. Presenting the mock-up online at an industry engagementday, covering the same ground as the video but taking questions — and guaranteeing the environmentis up and working on the day.
What they are looking for
Five years or more of Atlassian Jira Data Center administration, and five yearsor more of Confluence Data Center administration.
A strong understanding of how Jira and Confluence actually work underneath, including atdatabase level.
Java, Groovy and ScriptRunner, and excellent scripting for automation andcustomisation (Bash, Python).
Deploying solutions on Microsoft Azure.
Real experience of dynamic content management and Jira-to-Confluence integration.
Managing metadata across Confluence, Office and PDF documents and SharePoint.
Linux server management, RedHat for preference.
Prior work on this platform itself is a considerable advantage.
Practical detail
Fully remote — the work is executed entirely at the contractor's ownfacilities.
Four months from contract award, with an estimated start of 1 September 2026.
Four deliverables: the mock-up environment 60 days from award, the requirements document, thevideo, and the live industry demonstration.
You must hold a valid clearance and be a citizen of a NATO member country.
If you know Atlassian Data Center deeply enough to rebuild someone else's instance from theoutside and then explain it to strangers, this is a genuinely interesting four months.
