Atlassian to Acquire DX for $1 Billion to Boost AI-Powered Engineering Intelligence

Atlassian, the maker of team collaboration and productivity software, announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire DX, a leading player in engineering intelligence, in a deal valued at approximately $1 billion in cash and restricted stock.

Earlier this month, Atlassian revealed it has agreed to acquire The Browser Company, the startup behind the Arc and Dia browsers.

The acquisition of DX comes as enterprises worldwide accelerate AI adoption, with engineering leaders struggling to measure productivity gains and the impact of their investments. DX helps organisations benchmark developer productivity, providing data-driven insights to improve workflows. Atlassian plans to integrate DX into its System of Work, alongside tools like Rovo Dev, Jira, Bitbucket, Bitbucket Pipelines, and Compass, offering customers a unified suite of collaboration and measurement tools.

“Using AI is easy, creating value is harder. Today’s announcement is about helping our 300,000+ customers understand if they’re making the right investments to win in the AI era,” said Mike Cannon-Brookes, Atlassian’s CEO. “By bringing DX into Atlassian’s System of Work, we’re helping engineering teams from some of the biggest enterprise companies move faster, more intentionally, and with incredible impact.”

DX’s founder and CEO, Abi Noda, emphasised the company’s origins and mission. He said, “We started DX five years ago on the belief that measuring developer productivity and experience was an unsolved problem that requires a research-driven approach. Combining our data intelligence with Atlassian’s AI-powered tools, we can provide customers with unmatched understanding, solutions and feedback to accelerate developer productivity.”

Atlassian’s Chief Technology Officer Rajeev Rajan highlighted the cultural fit: “DX gives engineering leaders a clear view across R&D—showing not just what’s getting done, but how teams feel about it—at a time when AI is transforming developers’ roles and deep understanding has never mattered more.”

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of Atlassian’s fiscal 2026, pending regulatory approvals.
