Amazon's Solutions Architect interview process for Staff-level candidates comprises multiple stages: recruiter screening to validate background and role fit, technical phone screen assessing AWS architectural knowledge and problem-solving approach, and a comprehensive all-day Amazon Loop consisting of technical architecture rounds, system design evaluation, behavioral interviews assessing Amazon Leadership Principles, and a technical presentation demonstrating complex problem-solving and communication skills. For Staff-level positions, the process emphasizes strategic architectural thinking, mentorship capabilities, influence across organizations, and deep alignment with Amazon's 16 Leadership Principles.[1] The entire process typically spans 4-8 weeks from initial contact to offer.
