# Rajiv Rajan

## Profile
CTO of [[entity-org-atlassian]] (since 2023). Frequently speaks publicly about agentic AI inside engineering organizations.

## Role in This Source
Quoted (paraphrased by Nate) as observing that **some Atlassian teams are now writing zero lines of code**, functioning instead as orchestrators of AI agents. This is one of the key field signals supporting [[concept-one-pizza-teams]] and [[claim-team-size-reduction]].

## Verified Context
Enrichment confirms Rajan made similar public remarks at **Atlassian Team '24** about engineers transitioning into agent orchestrators.
