I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Amazon (Northridge, CA)
Interview
This is a contract role with Amazon LEO (formerly Project Kuiper). I had an initial pre-screening where they asked general questions about my background and other projects that I worked prior to coming here. The next two interviews included high level systems architecture questions, networking questions, and basic C/C++ programming questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One question I was asked was how would I design a system with remote sensors and actuators and a central module that displays statuses and acts as a control interface for the operator. I won't go into the specifics of the nature of the system.
Interview by recuriter, Phone interview over Chime with one easy Leet code problem and 2 behavioral questions. Although the interviewer was very casual at the start of the conversation, it quickly changed into behavioral questions at the start.

Question 1
Encoding optimization algorithm and talk about a project you did recently.
First round is just leet code coding which screens through AI before going into live coding. Pretty simple and straighforward. Not too tough. Recruiter walks through it pretty nicely. Not sure how many rounds there are exactly
After submitting my application for the Software Engineer position, I received an invitation to complete an automated Online Assessment (OA). The assessment consisted of standard coding challenges, primarily focusing on algorithmic and data structure problems. Unfortunately, a few days after submitting my solutions for the assessment, I received an email informing me that I would not be moving forward in the interview process and was rejected.
