What your day will look like
You will meet with 4-7 Amazonians. However, interview schedules can change often, so we
appreciate your flexibility. This mix of interviewers will include managers and peers that make
up the technical team.
Your meetings will be back-to-back interviews approximately 45 – 60 minutes each. The majority
of your interviews will be one on one. These conversations will be in depth discussions around
technologies from your background and the job description.
Interview tips
Know what interests you about Amazon Web Services and what team you will be interviewing with.
Take some time to review the AWS Site and our official AWS blog or blogs run by the AWS
team members like All Things Distributed, or Perspectives.
Review the job description you will be interviewing for, and reflect on your experience using similar
technologies.
Our in person loops can be more in-depth than the types of questions asked during our
phone screens.
Additional Tips for Technical roles
Visit Topcoder, CodeChef or similar websites for example coding questions.
Please be prepared to answer detailed technical questions on concepts like data-structures and
algorithms. This most likely will include qualifying requirements and white boarding your
solutions with our engineers.
Be prepared to discuss technologies listed on your resume – for example if you list Java or C++,
you should expect technical questions about your experience with these technologies.
Why not try out the power of the cloud and create an AWS account?
Builders build on AWS, so visit www.BuildOn.aws to get going.
Or follow this simple guide on slide share, check out AWS documentation and resources, and as an
