Hr Screening and Karat interview.
I don't think they are hiring for the level advertised. They are guaging your level based on how you perform in the interviews. I fished this info during the HR screening.
I like atlassian, the only problem I have with their process is the Karat round. You have 20 minutes of system design questions and 30 minutes of coding round. 10 minutes of intro and explanation. The problem I see with this is the 30 minute coding interview. When you have the interviewer taking anywhere from 7-10 minutes describing the problem and test cases, 20 minutes isnt sufficient enough to humanely solve something when provided with a next-to-shite coding environment. Let's accept, nobody is going to code in that environment without looking up for libs or have a syntax error while compiling and running it. It is very hard to guage someone in that kind of an intimidating environment. So my advise is, they wont recruit you as a principal, this round is a way to level you down from a principal to a senior or even lower. BTW, beware, the guys from Karat boast that they have taken 1500/2500 interviews before they get into the round which I felt a bit funny.
