Amazon Software Engineer interview: recruiter to live coding

I had a 30-minute recruiter phone screen about my background and resume. About a week later, I had an approximately one-hour technical video interview with a senior engineer. After introductions, I completed a live coding challenge in a shared editor.

The round ended with system-design basics and questions about how my past projects worked in practice. It was average in difficulty: nothing entirely unexpected, but it required hands-on coding and clear design explanations. I did not receive an offer.

Location: Japan. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
