The Interview Process

Technical Phone Screen

Assessment of baseline cloud architecture knowledge (compute, storage, networking) and 1-2 LPs.

Presentation Round

You must prepare and present a 20-30 minute presentation architecture diagram on a complex technical topic to a panel acting as 'the client'.

The Loop (Onsite)

Four to five interviews heavily indexing on 'Customer Obsession' (translating tech to business value) and deep technical probing ('Dive Deep').

Real Amazon Interview Questions

Practice these exact questions faced by previous Solutions Architect (AWS) candidates.

1A legacy enterprise client is terrified of migrating to AWS due to security compliance concerns. How do you structure the conversation to earn their trust? (Earn Trust / Customer Obsession)

2During your presentation, an executive interrupts to tell you your proposed architecture is too expensive. How do you pivot the conversation on the fly? (Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit)

3Tell me about a time you had to rapidly learn a completely new, highly complex technology stack in order to advise a client. (Learn and Be Curious)

4Walk me through how you would design a highly resilient, multi-region active-active database architecture for a financial services client. (Technical Dive Deep)

5Describe a time you simplified a massively over-engineered client architecture to save them money, even if it meant less immediate revenue for your firm. (Invent and Simplify / Customer Obsession)
