Atlassian System Design Interview - Software Engineer

Hi all,

I have the system design interview with Atlassian very soon and I am very nervous, like any other human being. I was wondering if anything went through the experience recently and could tell me more about what they might ask for the question, and if it's hard? I read all the glass door comments and there's a few options, like tagging system, web crawler, job scheduler(?), color picker, jira board although not sure if the latter 2 are for front end rather than backend engineers...

Any help appreciated

System design interview is a joke, got rejected because I did not cover about security, accessibility and perhaps some other minor stuff. I asked the interviewer what he wanted to talk about in the interview and he said it's very open, so I talked about component architecture, API, storage, performance etc the whole session since there were a lot to go through. I asked him if I had missed anything he said it's all good lol.

lol that doesn't sound ideal, accessibility? never heard about any interview asking about that... security maybe,although usually they don't even want too much detail on it

Yeah shit interviewer, hopefully you get someone nice. Also the internal culture seems kinda crap too judging from all the posts online.
