I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon Web Services (Auckland, Auckland) in Apr 2026
Interview
1. Initial Chat / HR Screen (very informal)
15–30 minutes
Usually with HR or engineering manager
your background
what kind of engineering work you enjoy (hardware + software mix often)
availability
visa/work eligibility
salary expectations
Usually very relaxed compared to big aerospace/tech firms.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was the tradeoff that you did software and business?
