Solicité el puesto a través de un captador. El proceso duró 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Amazon (Arlington, VA) en may 2025
Entrevista
The interview process was structured but fair. It started with a phone screen followed by a loop of technical and behavioral interviews. The hiring manager was respectful and gave space to explain my thought process. Questions were mostly scenario-based, focused on security architecture, incident response, and threat modeling. The loop was challenging but manageable if you prepare with STAR stories and know AWS security basics.

First meeting with recruiter collected all information. then meeting scheduled with Hiring Manager: Asked questions from the job description but it was vague in which domain they were looking for.
