Amazon Data Manipulation (SQL/Python) Interview Questions

The 772 Amazon questions collected here spread across every stage candidates report: 369 come from technical screens, 261 from onsite rounds and 67 from online assessments, with a dozen recruiter screens. Software Engineer accounts for 380 questions, Data Scientist 203, Machine Learning Engineer 75, Product Manager 29 and Business Intelligence Engineer 15. Coding & Algorithms is the largest category at 243, but Behavioral & Leadership sits close behind at 156, ahead of Machine Learning at 78, Data Manipulation (SQL/Python) at 67 and System Design at 58. Difficulty runs 501 medium, 150 hard and 59 easy. The coding side is pattern-heavy: validating properly nested brackets, finding the earliest pair with a target sum, returning the maximum of every sliding window, counting customers who visited on multiple dates. Design prompts stay close to product surfaces, from a recursive file-search API to a reliable AI chatbot architecture. The behavioral set is the raw material for Leadership Principles stories: delivering under a tight deadline without hiding risk, making progress when requirements are ambiguous, finding and fixing a root cause, turning critical feedback into a measurable improvement. 105 questions were added in the last 90 days, six are tagged as AI-assisted rounds, and 71 first-hand interview experiences are on the site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which rounds do these Amazon interview questions come from?
369 are tagged Technical Screen and 261 Onsite, with 67 from Online Assessments and 12 from recruiter screens. The online assessment share is large enough that it is worth treating as its own stage: candidate experiences on the site describe an OA first, then a virtual onsite of four rounds, and one two-part OA that included a system design problem.
How difficult are Amazon interview questions?
Most are mid-tier. 501 questions are rated medium, 150 hard and 59 easy. The hard band concentrates in the algorithmic and design material, for example returning the maximum of every sliding window or designing a recursive file-search API. The easy end is short pattern work such as validating properly nested brackets and finding the earliest pair with a target sum, which tends to appear in technical screens.
Which roles and categories dominate the Amazon question bank?
Software Engineer is the largest track at 380 questions, then Data Scientist at 203, Machine Learning Engineer at 75, Product Manager at 29, Business Intelligence Engineer at 15 and a few Data Engineer entries. By category, Coding & Algorithms leads at 243, Behavioral & Leadership at 156, Machine Learning at 78, Data Manipulation (SQL/Python) at 67, System Design at 58 and Analytics & Experimentation at 31.
How much of the Amazon loop is behavioral?
Enough that it cannot be an afterthought. Behavioral & Leadership is the second-largest category at 156 questions, and one Product Manager experience on the site reports five rounds that were all behavioral. The prompts are the ones you would build Leadership Principles stories around: ambiguous requirements, tight deadlines with real risk, root-cause work, and improving an inefficient team process.
