A published loop with a round most companies skip: a dedicated Values interview run by someone off the hiring team, weighed alongside the coding and system design rounds.
7 of 8 stages you can practise here
Warm, conversational phone call with a Talent Acquisition partner
Structured, somewhat scripted third-party screen over video with a shared editor
Live coding with an Atlassian engineer in your language of choice
Second live coding session that leans toward clean structure, readability, OOP and extensibility over raw algorithm tricks
A 60-minute spoken conversation with no coding
Conversational, lower-pressure round with a hiring manager framed around 'who you are today and who you want to be at Atlassian.' Covers past projects, hardest technical challenges, the business
Relaxed, conversational, purely behavioral round usually with someone from outside the hiring team
Internal decision stage: a committee reviews consolidated debrief feedback and makes the final objective call. Not candidate-facing / not simulate-able.
Built from what Atlassian publishes about its own process and from real interview data. No leaked question lists. The questions you get are generated against your own resume, so they are not from anyone else's interview.
Coding interview is two parts (Data Structures + Code Design), any language, 'how you think' rubric; 60-min laddering systems design with no one right answer; Manager interview; Values interview with an outside-team interviewer; Hiring Committee.
'3 to 4 interviews' for early-career SWE; required online coding test before the loop; leadership and values interviews.
Verbatim five values and their taglines used in the Values interview.
Company background and products (Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Trello, Loom) for the blurb.
Atlassian IC ladder: P30 (entry), P40 (Engineer), P50 (Senior), P60 (Principal).
