The interview was quite technical. Leet code questions, 2 medium and 1 hard. Master your data structures and algorithms!!!! Study your complexity analysis also, optimise your solutions to the minimal runtime.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2026
Interview
The first round was with the hiring manager. It started with about 20 minutes of behavioral questions, mainly about my experience with generative AI. Then I had a coding question about building a search system.
The second round was with a software engineer and a shadow interviewer. Similar to the first round, it started with about 20–25 minutes of behavioral questions, mainly about my experience handling conflict. Then I had a coding question about LRU cache.
I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Santa Monica, CA)
Interview
1) Online assesment -> 2) Interview: A short interview with an engineer. There was one tree question, one leet code medium, and a few behavioral questions (STAR method). One thing to note is that it took longer than they said it would between stages.
