Difficult interview
Application
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Screening interviewing is fairly standard. What interest in the role, explaining previously experience, making sure that you understand the role description and requirements. Gives you the opportunity to ask any questions about the steps and next interview. The second interview is with a Senior Solution Architect and will be split between technical knowledge and core values. It will be an hour and a half.

Question 1
You need to know pretty strong networking. It's not really specific questions like what is a CDN, it's explain your thought process in talking to a CTO who is having challenges with this and that. You need to understand how to upscale and monitor networks. The second part will be question around the core values. You need to answer in STAR.
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.
