I have TPM interview at Amazon. Can TPMs here on amazon help me on what should I prepare? Anything technical specific I should brush up?
You should be well versed in your technical domain. What's equally if not more important are having plenty of solid examples that demonstrate the leadership principles. Do no underestimate this portion of the interview!
Depends in the group you join you might have a tech focused interview or otherwise ... you will be given scenarios and asked to design systems where holes will be poked to get feedback from you on them .... leadership principles a must but don’t get too high on that... questions will be asked based on leadership principles ...
You will be expected to very technical. I was asked to pitch a picture sharing startup 12 years in the past. I was asked to make technology decisions and form a team. It was pretty ridiculous. When I asked about work Life balance I was told "50 is the new 40" and that "speed is King" Amazon sounds like a great place to work while they are growing, but when the shit hits the fan and they need to start being more efficient and sustainable, the whole place is going to fall apart. I wouldn't want to be there when that happens. I don't personally know anybody who works for Amazon and loves it (I only know two people who don't outright hate it).

Yea brush up your teeth
Most TPMs I’ve worked with are not technical at all. Just make sure you are verbose and relate everything you say to the Leadership Principles. That’s Amazon’s Bible.
and of course, brush your teeth 😊
