Atlassian Software Engineer interviews, decoded.

I was given a coding challenge where the task was to design a custom rate limiter. I was specifically instructed not to use any pre-existing solutions, so I had to design and write the rate limiter code entirely from scratch.

First I had an HR screening call, then two technical rounds. The first was very technical and the second involved use cases. The final stage was with HR to discuss salary.

The selection process includes two coding rounds to assess problem-solving skills, followed by one technical interview to evaluate domain knowledge, and finally one HR interview to gauge communication, personality, and cultural fit.
