I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney) in Dec 2016
Interview
I had a phone screen with Enzo, he asked if I could explain CD, I asked if he was referring to Continuous Deployment or Continuous Delivery as there are slight differences. He advised if I didn't know what it meant I was not successful.
I attempted to explain that Continuous Delivery CAN be released at any time, Continuous Deployment IS released as its committed, and he cut me off.
This was the second phone screening I had with AWS, the previous one I was asked how many 9's of availability are needed. I said this is very objective, my lab for example needs 1 (90%), but a production system would obviously require more. Again was told I wasn't successful.
Seems the people doing the screening are reading from a sheet of questions and answers, and don't really know what the questions mean. I progressed through Google, Microsoft, fine, and have a global cloud architect role at another competitor so know my stuff.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2026
Interview
Although I didn't pass the interview, I had a positive overall experience. The interview process was well organized, and the instructions were clear and informative. I appreciated the transparency throughout the process, which helped me prepare effectively for the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. How do you engage customers and build customer relationships?
2. What do you think about AI? Do you use AI in your work?
3. Can you explain a case in which you declined a customer's request?
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.
