Android roles at Amazon

I get a lot of recruiters reaching out to me from Amazon. But every role is for a backend engineer and I have 0 experience in backend. Even if I prepare well I know that I would fail big in the design rounds. It would be easier for me if the design rounds were focused on Android. Are there recruiters who would hire for Android specific roles or is it all general swe roles? TC: 350k originally

Normally, there are a ton of Android or iOS specific roles. I'm sure there still are but you'll have to look for them more since I know a bunch of mobile teams cut their headcount. Last one I saw was Amazon Music, so you can start there to see if they still have mobile HC

Op, look for roles that are defined as FEE instead of SDE, those are likely to have a more mobile focused design interview instead of backend system design.
