Process
The process started with a screening with the recruiter, where they explained the steps, validated my experience, and asked about salary expectations and English fluency.
After that, I had a technical interview (TPS) with an Amazon engineer, focused on algorithms and data structures.
I solved a live problem, similar to LeetCode problems (medium/hard level), and discussed software architecture.
Questions
A TPS always brings an ambiguous problem.
The ideal is to ask clarifying questions and talk through the reasoning aloud.
