I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Falls Church, VA) in Feb 2017
Interview
I was contacted by AWS for an interview and it was a technical interview with a hiring manager and an HR review. The HR portion was very short but the technical interview lasted almost 45 minutes. The questions were on file systems and related processes for Linux OS. It went very well and should hear later this week about the next step.
