Solicité el puesto a través de la recomendación de un empleado. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Santa Clara, CA) en feb 2026
Entrevista
I got a referral to the job because of my current collaborarion with Amazon for my dissertartion. I'm currently a 2nd-year Phd student in Computer Science.
The first part is an online assessment (OA) which mainly consisted of Leetcode easy and medium questions and the leadership principle test.
The next phase was the technical interview, where I was interviewed in 2 different sessions, each session with an Applied Scientist for 1 hour. The interview was mainly talking about my research collaboration with Amazon and my previous research works during undergrad.
I was asked basic knowledge in deep learning and machine learning. Also had time of explaining my research. discussed how I can apply my research to the current project. Transformer architecture, bias-var tradeoff, use of positional encoding, long-term dependencies.
HackerRank assessment with solid, fair questions. Communication with the recruiting team was clear and professional throughout the process. I was invited to two additional interviews, one focused on research depth and the other on coding skills.
One phone screen on LeetCode-style medium coding question plus behavioral questions. One loop of three back to back interviews including one round of coding, two rounds of research plus behavioral questions.
