Prime Video Software Engineer interview: coding and leadership-principles screen

Prime Video·Software Engineer·Reported Jul 2026

After recruiter outreach, I went through a focused phone interview process with one coding round and two leadership-principles-style questions. Coding and the principles felt like two parts of the same test: I needed to show general engineering ability and communicate how I was thinking.

I did not need deep knowledge of the exact team. The recruiter presented it as a general-skill screen about how I solve problems, explain myself, and align with Amazon’s leadership principles. Scheduling was intense: four interviews with the same group in one day, with little relief.

Location: Seattle, WA. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
