Horrible recruiting process ever. By far the most “UNINTERESTED” recruiter of amazon has reached out to me to discuss the position i applied for. Guess what ? The call ended in exactly 5 mins. The conversation started with him saying, “ if it’s not a match, it’s not a match, but let’s see if your profile fits.” He didn’t even bother to ask my experience and skillset. With in 5 min, he ended up telling me that he would forward my resume to the hiring manager along with his notes. I followed up with him after a day, and he responded saying that they would need someone more technical. Whilst my resume fits the role, they are looking for, 100%, in addition to my telling him that I actively code while managing the team, how can a recruiter decide whether the person is technical or not without involving the technical person to assess a candidate ?
Few rounds of interview, mixed with behavioral and technical questions to showcase you knowledge of building system on aws. They also asked gen ai questions on how you would create these systems
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2026
Interview
You do 4 back to back interview in 1 day. It was exhausting. Besides that really appreciated the recruiter giving out interview prep before it takes place. The good thing is there is no coding round.
The interview process was very challenging and thorough. The questions required deep technical knowledge and problem-solving under pressure. While tough, it was fair and tested real-world skills, communication, and adaptability.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you walk us through a time you solved a complex problem under tight deadlines, and how you balanced technical accuracy with speed?
