I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Atlassian in Oct 2023
Interview
- Horrible horrible people. Please save your time and energy. Even if you solve the problem, you don't stand any chance. - Please check previous interview experiences. I don't see lot of offers. I still wanted to take my chance to see how it goes. - All standard questions as in previous posts. They have limited technical knowledge and only ask certain set of questions. - Also, Atlassian you are not in FAANG category, so don't even try for it and appreciate folks who are able to solve the technical problems presented to you. - Massive hiring going on, but I don't think they want to take anyone. - Interview Question (First Round) * Tagging file question - A file can belong to a collection. Multiple files can belong to a collection. Given this set of files, find total size of all files and top n collections. - Pretty easy. Go to leetcode, you will find solution. - I coded the solution and able to run the code as expected. Screw you Atlassian. Stop wasting candidate's time. If a person is able to solve the problem, I don't see any reason to deny him moving to next round. - Their limited set of questions. You can find them on GlassDoor, Leetcode and Blind. - API Rate Limiter - Design Snake Game - Voting System (Rank Based or Stream of votes) - Tagging files and Top N collections/tags - For system design, practice web crawler, design color picker, Tagging Atlassian products You can waste your time practicing these questions or interview with better companies
Standard process for a platform engineer (SRR) role, around what you have completed. Completing a coding exam on data structures for this role is unusual though. Role seemed more for application development than SRE.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Coding exam around structures. Example of where you have encountered difficulties in role.
Coding task, algorithms. It was not very difficult, all worked. But probably was not as good as it should be. Interviewer was polite and professional, task was described, we had a chat about solution steps.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Atlassian (Bengaluru) in Sep 2025
Interview
Had a great interview experience at Atlassian. The HR of company are friendly and responsive, interviewers are knowledgeable and positive during interview. I had a total of 6 rounds of interview
1. HR - HR just asks about your experience and check skills based fitment.
2. System Design - Question - Design a Url Scarping System. I was able to solve this. However the expectation is go deep and design the core Scrapping API. Which I was able to do after the interviewer insisted. So be ready to show case your API design skills, URL, Request, Response, Data Model etc. Also be ready to provide the tech stack along with tradeoffs.
3. Leadership and Craft - Lot of questions around delivery, project management, stakeholder management, mentoring etc. I did pretty well in this.
4. Values - This is about atlassian values, HR will tell you how to prepare for this. I did pretty well.
5. Data Structure - Last Hero Problem. In an F1 race find the person who has done fastest lap in all of race. I solved it using HashMap of racer and max lap time. Later on I sorted the map and gave the last lap hero. I made a silly mistake and my test cases were failing. Hence I did not make it.
5. LLD - I dont remember the question. It was around Most Popular content. I used HashMap for storing content and frequency (thumbs up/thumbs Down)
