Will I be given opportunity to apply for L6 level SDE roles at faang and other top companies ? Am currently an sdet at Amazon with about 15 years of experience developing very large scale infra/ build tools at Amazon. I am confident on my coding , design and behaviorial skills. Just wanted to know if I ll be considered.

    The issue with SDET at amazon is they dont distinguish between being a test eng and SDET like most other tech companies do nowadays. If your work is too tied to test eng your skills are going to stagnate if you want to move to dev. I ended up leaving Amazon cause I couldnt make L6 SDET in my org because it was really difficult to work on impactful projects while also having to fulfill the role of a test eng.

      @OwmM55 - if it’s okay I’d like to connect with you for some useful tips as I’m currently interviewing with Amazon for an L4 SDET Data Migration Service role. TIA

      No specific testing tools. I pretty much do SDE job - build very large scale systems for developer productivity for teams in Amazon

    There are dozens of profiles similar to SDET that you can apply and you will be considered. If you want to build features for customer then it might be tricky. Just a very different way to solve problems and you’re expert on infrastructure/build/test side.
