I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Vancouver, BC) in Apr 2025
Interview
The final round will cover five competencies—Science Breadth, Science Depth, Application, Coding, and a Bar‑Raiser interview—and all sessions are typically completed within one or two days.
I was arranged into 2 days.

Question 1
Question on optimizers; comparing gradient decent, adam optimizer etc
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.
