Amazon sde2 interviews

I will have the onsites for Amazon, and the role is for sde2, however I just have 1 yoe, should I be worried because interviewers might expect more than what I actually know?

Don't worry about it.

Are you sure it is an SDE2 interview? With just 1YOE, unless you are an SDE2 already at a comparable place, you will be most likely interviewed as an SDE1. Dont sweat it, good luck! PS: Story is a bit more interesting at 3-4y of experience.

Idk, I will have a meeting with the lead recruiter and probably she is telling me the team I will be applying for..?

Interviewing for SDE 2 at 1 yoe? I'm surprised. Are you at an SDE 2 level at your current company?

Ok. To answer your question, SDE 2 interviews are the same as SDE 1 interviews in terms of tech criteria, except you also need to do some design (high level and OOD) questions. On the non tech front, showcase all the SDE 1 level behaviors plus ability to mentor other SDEs
