Interview
The interview process for a Frontend Engineer I is analogous to an SDE I (both level 4). The questions you receive in the second and final round interviews are more geared towards frontend development topics. Also, I'm fairly sure the standard level 4 engineer interview process is different than the new-grad pipeline, so if you're still in school/recently out of school, clarify with your recruiter about which one you're in.
My interview process included:
- 1st Round: Online coding challenge with two questions (~leetcode medium-hard difficulty)
- 2nd Round: Phone screen with 2-3 questions regarding personal experience that relates to the Amazon Leadership Principles, one technical question that involved building a frontend component
- 3rd Round: Given COVID, I interviewed remotely via video conferencing software, but normally I believe they fly you in for an on-site process. Ask your recruiter for interview specific information, and they should give you a fairly good idea of what kind of technical topics will be covered in each. I had five total interviews (each lasting about an hour), and there were behavioral and technical questions asked in each. The final interview of the series was with a hiring manager and was fairly conversational.

Question 1
Behavioral questions are centered around Amazon's leadership principles
Various frontend system & component design, DOM manipulation, one or two algorithm-oriented questions (vs SDE's that receive mostly algorithm-based questions)
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in Jun 2026
Interview
I got OA, which i passed, Then, moved for Phone Screen, she gave me a JS question, which i solved, she asked couple of follow-ups, I answered and she was satisfied. She asked later, 2 LP. I got rejection even though Passed Technical Question, gave solid LP answers. Why???? and i sent 3 mails on different days for feedback/followups.. No replay!!!! Why? Amazon is not reputed company?? Worst ever company i saw!!!
Had an initial Hackerrank front-end based code test, followed by a live coding session with one of the devs. I was tasked with building a star rating system, using JS, HTML and CSS only (no frameworks).

Amazon's leadership principles and about my previous experience, followed by a live coding session.
The interview process was lengthy and tedious. There was a lot of time in between my application and the day I received the online assessment. I can't disclose the interview questions since I signed an NDA
