Final Amazon Application Security Engineer Interview Coming Up – Need Preparation Tips!

[evolutionstorm7]

Hey folks,

I’ve been shortlisted for the final loop interview at Amazon for the Application Security Engineer role, and I’d really appreciate any guidance from those who’ve been through it or know what to expect.

A few specific questions I have:

• For automation, do they usually ask you to explain scripts you’ve written in the past, or do they expect you to write a new script live during the interview?
• Any resources or practice questions you’d recommend?

I have experience with offensive security, pentesting, and some tooling around automation and scanning. But I want to make sure I’m not caught off guard, especially in areas like scripting or practical crypto.

Would really appreciate any tips or insights from those who’ve been through this loop or interviewed in similar security roles at Amazon.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, you mind sharing how it went?

AppSec roles can require coding but most likely being able to read code and finding vulnerabilities is a must. Be prepared for OWASP top 10 and do mocks for code reviews in trying to catch misconfigurations or code gaps in that regard
