Atlassian Interview Questions & Answers

Q: Design a file system to support getting the size of any directory (extension: return the top N directories as a report).

A: Model the file system as a tree where each node caches its own size plus the sum of its children, so a directory size read is O(1) and writes propagate the delta up the parent chain. For the top N report, walk the tree once and keep the largest N directories in a min-heap of size N.

Answer by AI
  • Represent files and directories as tree nodes; each directory stores a cached aggregate size so lookups don't rescan children.
  • On file add, remove, or resize, update the node and bubble the size delta up to the root so caches stay correct.
  • For top N directories, traverse once and maintain a size-N min-heap, giving O(D log N) time where D is the directory count.

Q: Design a simple snake game where a snake can move in a given direction.

A: Keep the snake body as a deque of grid coordinates and a set for O(1) collision checks. Each tick, compute the new head from the current direction, push it to the front, and pop the tail unless the snake just ate food.

Answer by AI
  • Store the body as a deque of cells plus a hash set of occupied cells for constant-time self-collision detection.
  • On each move, add the new head and remove the tail; skip the tail removal when food is eaten so the snake grows.
  • End the game when the head hits a wall or a cell already in the occupied set, and spawn food on a random free cell.

Q: Design a tag management system for Atlassian. Support add, remove, and search based on tags.

A: Use two inverted indexes: tag to set of item IDs, and item to set of tags. Add and remove update both maps in constant time, and search by tag returns the item set directly, with multi-tag queries handled by set intersection.

Answer by AI
  • Maintain a tag-to-items map and an item-to-tags map so both directions of lookup stay O(1) on average.
  • Search by a single tag is a direct map read; AND queries intersect the smallest sets first for speed.
  • Discuss scaling with a search engine like Elasticsearch and eventual consistency once the data outgrows memory.

Q: Design a low-level suggestion system: given a dictionary like [CAT, CATS, CATALOGE, METTLE, METAL, FITTING] and input words [CAT, DOG, MET, FIT], return prefix-based dictionary matches for each input word.

A: Build a trie from the dictionary, then for each input word walk to the node matching its prefix and collect every word in that subtree. Words with no matching prefix node return an empty suggestion list.

Answer by AI
  • Insert all dictionary words into a trie so shared prefixes are stored once.
  • For each query, traverse to the prefix node, then DFS the subtree to gather all completions.
  • Cap results or sort by frequency if you need ranked, bounded suggestions like a real autocomplete.
