I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
It began with an online assessment followed by several technical and behavioral interviews. Each stage focused on problem-solving, data-driven thinking, and Amazon’s Leadership Principles. The interviewers were professional, asked insightful questions, and provided a comfortable environment to demonstrate technical and analytical skills effectively
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you design and evaluate a machine learning model to improve product recommendations on Amazon
Applied for Amazon AGI. After first round, it will go into full round of multiple interviews. Lots of modern LLM training technic questions. There are still some behavioral questions, but less than general Amazon roles.
Interviewed with 1 phone screen, 1 coding, 2 ml design and 2 lp rounds. Most questions were non-leetcode questions more related to day to day ml implementations. The questions were very practical.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon (Tokio) in Apr 2026
Interview
The interview for the Applied Scientist position primarily focused on three core components: technical questions regarding machine learning, a live coding assessment, and a detailed review of my professional experience.
