I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I was contacted on Stack Overflow about being hired from Amazon's internal recruitment. After a phone interview I was asked to come for an on-site interview. The on-site interview was with 5 different people over the course of a day. The questions ranged from simple CS data structures, scaling, and soft skill questions
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most difficult questions were the softer questions. Like how you work with a difficult co-worker, what happens if you find a project will be behind, etc.
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.

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
