  • Which location is it for? I had an interview recently for a Solutions Architect position at Amazon. I think I overthinked a little bit during preparation. Be very clear on the concepts, like what happens behind the scenes when you try to access a website, general principals of security like how would you store a password in a database. You should have gotten an email which mentions about 7 or 8 topics. The interviewer will ask 2 or 3 basic questions about each of those topics. I bombed the interview big time :(

    • Hey @jackofnone, is it a phone interview?

    • Sorry saw the comments way way too late. I got a bit frustrated at all the high TCs which are being thrown around at Blind and decided to not login for a couple of months. To be honest, it is very difficult to prepare for such interviews. You just have to know what you say you know very very well, think about the inner working of libraries etc, what differentiates cloud from on premise, why would a company choose cloud over on premise, how does a request reach from the browser to the web server. Simple stuff like this.

    Just screwed up the SA interview on Monday. This is not a coding job. Some of the technical questions are like: What's the symmetric and asymmetric crypto? How would you design a robust, scalable 3-tier webapp? What's NAT, What's deduplication? LP questions include: What's the coolest thing you learned recently? Tell me about a time you failed to deliver? Tell me how you handle the most difficult customer....etc.

    No, you need to go through Amazon’s 14 Leadership principles.

  • What is a solutions architect? Do they just design things for customers or are they expected to write code?
