Process

The interview was heavily focused on GenAI and Amazon Leadership Principles.

The Technical Manager did a deep dive into my approach to prompting LLMs and how I optimize workflows using them.

In contrast, the SDE Engineer’s questions were more direct and strongly centered around Leadership Principles.
