Two phone interviews, 45 mins each, back-to-back. Both engineers were very cool and professional. Questions focused on general data structures and 'Cracking the Coding Interview' style algorithm questions. I stumbled a bit with the first interview on both of his questions, but I stuck with it and took his clues appropriately. Overall great experience.

Question 1
Due to NDA, I can't say the exact question, but heaps and hash-tables were involved (separate questions).
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
