I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2025
Interview
Contract interview process was easier than full-time employee process. Went through 2 round interview, each with a member of the team I would be working with. Each round involved an Amazon LP question and coding question. Unlike a standard Leetcode style coding question, I was asked to implement hardware related functions using an existing API to poll and update data to the system.

Question 1
Bias for action and deliver results leadership principles.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Calgary, AB) in Jun 2026
Interview
Online Assessment is the first step in the process. I didn’t have an HR phone screening and went straight to the OA after applying. It was sent to me about a week after I submitted my application.

Question 1
The first question is LeetCode style algorithms question, and the second question gives a full stack repo (choice of Java, NodeJS, or Django) and asks to solve a backend issue which is causing a bug in the frontend. Unit tests must pass to pass the second question. You can run both backend/frontend indivdually or together
