Amazon DSP Software Engineer interview: GenAI and debugging

The loop put GenAI alongside the usual Amazon evaluation. One troubleshooting conversation was framed around leadership principles such as Bias for Action, and another tested my GenAI fluency. A separate round went back to traditional coding, where I had to show a structured approach while tying my answers to leadership principles.

One technical portion was not a simple blank-page coding exercise. I was placed in a web-app debugging scenario with a limited AI assistant that could read files and explain them, but it would not supply the answer. I had to work out the behavior, make sense of the code, and iterate under time pressure.

Even the GenAI-oriented rounds ended with DSA questions, including a graph-algorithm question and some difficult ad hoc problems. I did not receive an offer. What stayed with me was that the process tested technical accuracy and whether I could keep moving when the tool could not think through the problem for me.

Location: Hyderābād. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
