I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Austin, TX)
Interview
Pretty standard "big tech" interview. Leetcode screening interview (automated through a service). For the final loop: leetcode style style coding interview, system design interview, a couple behavioral interviews. There is one "bar raiser" interview; just make sure you tie in your story to an Amazon Leadership principle and you are golden on this one
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design a system that can handle inserting millions of products. There may not be a way to distinguish duplicates
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.
Interview questions [1]
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
