I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2024
Interview
2 back-to-back rounds focusing on Data Engineering fundamentals about Star Schema, Snowflake schema, Data warehouses, Datalakes, Dimensional modelling, OTLP vs OLAP, behavioral aspects, and very light coding (SQL was simple join and take count based on product, Python - Sort an array without using Sort function)

Question 1
Data Engineering Fundamentals
Leadership Principles
Good communication. I rescheduled the interview and didn't do it cuz I got another offer, but the recruiter was real nice about it and wanted to interview me. I'm a minority so could've been quotas or something but she was cool
It was two consecutive 45-minute rounds, all conducted online. I solved one SQL problem and one Python problem. They also asked me to explain a project I had worked on and posed some basic database knowledge questions.
