I applied for the role online through their job portal. Got an Online Assessment approximately 1 month after.

It consisted of 3 interviews back to back online via Amazon Chime. I gave the interview on 10/31/2024. First was with a Senior Manager who only asked three behavioral questions based on Amazon's Leadership Principles. Second one was with SDE 2. This was a coding round with a LeetCode problem. Third one was also with SDE 2. This was Behavioral + Coding. 3 behavioral questions based on Amazon LP and the coding part was Low Level Object Oriented Design.
