I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Feb 2026
Interview
The coding part was easy, but the interviewer asked a lot of followup questions on my bq, which I failed to answer. eg. What is the token size of your embedding model?
The process consisted of two 60-minute rounds. Each session dedicated 15 minutes to resume deep dives and Leadership Principles, followed by a 45-minute live LeetCode-style coding challenge. The interviews were well-structured, focusing equally on cultural alignment and algorithmic problem-solving under pressure. Highly standard but rigorous.
Straight forward and easy or medium difficulty. Had couple rounds including technical and behavioral. Two online and one over video call. Video call interviewer was polite and clear in his questions.
