Ok so here is the code for posterity. This is using the new node runtime.

function extractUUID(url) {
    const regex = /\b[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}\b/;
    const match = url.match(regex);
    return match ? match[0] : null;
}

//issueIdorKey is the issue on which I am operating, sanitizedContent in this case is the file I am attaching, and fileName is the original file name I am working with
async function createAttachment(issueIdOrKey, sanitizedContent, fileName) {
    try {
        var n = fileName.lastIndexOf(".");
        var newFileName = fileName.substring(0, n) + "-cleaned" + fileName.substring(n);
        
        const form = new FormData();

        // Convert sanitizedContent to a Buffer if it's a string or an object
        const fileBuffer = Buffer.from(JSON.stringify(sanitizedContent));
        form.append('file', fileBuffer, { filename: newFileName });
        console.log('uploading file to jira');
        const response = await api.asApp().requestJira(route`/rest/api/3/issue/${issueIdOrKey}/attachments`, {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Accept': 'application/json',
                'X-Atlassian-Token': 'no-check',  // This header is required for file uploads
                ...form.getHeaders()
            },
            body: form
        });

        console.log(`Response: ${response.status} ${response.statusText}`);

        const responseJson = await response.json();
        //console.log(JSON.stringify(responseJson[0].id));

        const requestUrl = `/rest/api/3/attachment/content/${responseJson[0].id}`;

        const attachmentResponse = await api.asApp().requestJira(route`${requestUrl}`, {
            headers: {
                'Accept': 'application/json'
            }
        });
        
        console.log(`New Attachment Response: ${attachmentResponse.status} ${attachmentResponse.statusText} ${attachmentResponse.url}`);   

        const mediaURL = await attachmentResponse.url;
        const newMediaId = extractUUID(mediaURL);

        return {
            status: response.status === 200,
            id: newMediaId
        };
        
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error creating attachment:', error);
    }
}
