Amazon Security Engineer interview questions

Applied through the University portal. Got the phone screen after 1 month. Phone screen: Security fundamental questions: OWASP top10, crypto algorithms, network protocols, one project in detail from your resume (I explained password cracker) Virtual Onsite: 3 rounds Round 1: Penetration testing, log monitoring, server security hardening questions (all were scenario-based) Round 2: previous experience and projects (bar-raising round) Round 3: With the hiring manager: Owasp 10, my research in the blockchain area, cybersecurity projects did in school and internship in detail. Scenario-based security questions. Amazon leadership principle questions

First round was a phone interview with an AWS Security Engineer. It lasted an hour and covered network protocols, TLS/UDP, DNS etc and also threat modelling scenario. I found out the next day that I had moved onto the next round (the Amazon loop) this was with 5 Amazon employees across software engineering and security teams, 1 was the hiring manager. Each round focused on behavioural questions (Amazon Leadership Principles) and technical questions. The technical questions covered usual network security questions, code review and threat modelling. I felt a bit out of depth in some areas, but 4/5 people I interviewed with were patient and taught me something new which I appreciated. There was 1 engineer that kept interrupting me and it felt more like an interrogation than an interview at one point but maybe I just wasn’t staying inline with what they were asking. Overall, even though I wasn’t successful I got some great advice and guidance from the interviewers. It’s a long day of interviewing (5 hours) so it’s good to get something out of it at least.
