Half a year after I got a mail from AWS asking me if I'd like to interview to a new position.
I had a first technical interview with a developer (over video conference), asking me leetcode questions as well as questions about operating systems.
After that I had a 2 interview "on-site" interview day from home, with a team lead and a senior developer, asking hard variations of leetcode questions as well as leadership principal questions.
