I applied for Associate Solutions Architect Intern - Summer 2022 a while ago and i have still not heard from amazon and my status is still in processing. it does not say no longer under consideration. Please if there is someone with a connection i really want to know what is going on in my application and the wait is killing me and I was wondering if there was someone who got an update about their application.

Has anyone interview for the solutions architect position as an intern at amazon? I have an interview coming up and I want to know what are the questions they ask.

1. Do solutions architects get pip-ed or is it a SDE thing?

2. How would you compare SDE vs Solutions architect role at Amazon?

3. Will I be able to switch to SDE internally later?

I have a phone interview coming up for this role and would get the offer if I pass. The description for this role does require me to know code, but the job requirements don’t really seem code oriented. So my question is, is this role worth it or should I keep looking for a software dev specific role?

Hello everyone, I'm in my final year of engineering school computer science specialty networking and telecommunication actually CCENT certified , I recently change orientation I want to learn more about Cloud and AWS precisely , I did pass the whole summer studying and doing labs in AWS environment with the help of many online platforms, now after 4 months I passed the AWS Solution Architect - Associate Certification and I succeed without real-life hand of experience only using videos, labs , and Aws free trial account, now I need to an internship of 4 to 6 months this year and I want to know more about AWS but I don't know what do interns do in their internships so can someone clarify this to me please ?

Thanks for your time and I apologize in advance for my English I'm working on it right now

I have my final round phone interview coming up for the AWS Solutions Architect Internship. Its a different process than the standard SWE roles so if anyone could tell me about their experience, or the types of questions to expect that would be really helpful.

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know what an actual solution architect intern does? like what kind of projects i’ll be doing.

Also It says I am part of the tech u program, so does that mean I will be given full time? what are the return offer chances?

What are the required areas of knowledge and general expectations? How separate ones self from other applicants?

So, I'm a Computer Engineering and Computer Science Junior. I applied for a few random internships at Amazon, and two days after submission they requested an interview with me for Solutions Architect Intern, which I never applied for... I'm not entirely sure what to expect on this interview, I have no experience with AWS. Anyone have any tips or how to prepare? This seems like a really neat job that I'm excited to interview for, but there's only a few posts on reddit that reference this position...

I feel like my tech background is pretty strong overall, seeing all sides of tech via my pursuement of degrees in CE and CS, being CompTia A+ certified, and classes at the local tech school during high school in Vmware and Cisco IOS... but that was 3+ years ago...

Anyone have advice or insight?

Hello everyone posted this on r/cscareerquestions but figured maybe I might have more insightful internship-related answers from current students. I am very honored to have accepted a role as a solutions architect intern from AWS for the summer. I want to hit the ground running when I get there and be ahead of the curve. I'm wondering if anyone has completed this internship before or any other solutions architect/engineer intern positions that could give me advice on what things I should study and be familiar with before I get there to be ready to contribute from day 1. Thank you.

Hi,

I'm a 29yr old intern who made a career change into tech last summer. Currently, I work as a infrastructure/devops engineer intern with a large defense contractor. I had a discussion this week with my leadership, and they mentioned potentially bringing me on full-time.

However, recently, I applied, interviewed, and received an offer letter to work as an AWS Solutions Architect intern. It's customer-based focused. I'm introverted, but I can be good with people when I try to be.

I enjoy technical work and my current job, but I honestly don't think I'm a good engineer. I also don't think that in the long term, I would want to be in a technical role given the nature of the work, like deadlines, and often working more than 40 hours a week.

Given the opportunities with my current internship and with Amazon, would it be too much of a risk to go for the latter and maybe try to convert that internship to full-time? The internship is 12 weeks and is not part of the Amazon TechU program so I'm questioning whether it's designated a one-and-done opportunity. Having Amazon on my resume wouldn't hurt either but with the current tech market. I'm not sure taking this opportunity would be wise.

Thank you in advance for your input.

Hi everyone,

I recently moved forward in the interview process for the AWS Solutions Architect Intern, US role (Job ID: 3187408) and I’m trying to understand what the actual interview experience has been like for people who already went through it.

From the recruiter email, it sounds like there are 2 separate 45-minute interviews, likely back to back over Zoom:

•	Interview 1: Technical Depth / Communication, AI knowledge, and Behavioral

•	Interview 2: Technical Breadth, Cloud Computing, and Behavioral

•	The order can vary

I wanted to ask people who have already interviewed for this role, or a very similar AWS Solutions Architect intern / early career SA role:

1.	What kinds of technical questions were you actually asked?

Were they more AWS-service based, cloud fundamentals, networking/security, architecture design, databases/analytics, coding concepts, or more resume/project deep dives?

2.	What did “technical depth” look like in practice?

Did they pick one area and go very deep, or was it still fairly broad?

3.	What did “technical breadth” look like?

Was it more like surface-level questions across multiple topics such as networking, databases, security, hardware, app development, and AI/ML?

4.	Were you asked architecture / design scenario questions?

For example, things like designing a scalable app, handling uploads, reliability, cost, security, load balancing, etc.

5.	What kind of behavioral questions came up?

Which Amazon Leadership Principles showed up the most?

Were the questions more around conflict, ownership, ambiguity, customer obsession, learning quickly, delivering results, or something else?

6.	How deep did they go into your resume/projects?

Did they interrupt and keep drilling down on one project, or move across multiple experiences?

7.	How important was the “explain technical concepts to non-technical people” part?

Did they explicitly ask you to simplify something technical?

8.	For the AI knowledge part, what did that mean in your case?

Was it very basic high-level knowledge, or were there deeper questions?

9.	Did anyone already get scheduled for interviews yet?

I’m also trying to understand the timeline. If you’ve already been scheduled, roughly when did you hear back after getting the prep email?

10.	If you interviewed recently, what would you focus on most if you had to prepare again?

I’d especially appreciate responses from people who interviewed for:

•	AWS Solutions Architect Intern

•	Associate / Early Career Solutions Architect

•	similar AWS customer-facing intern roles

Also, if anyone else is currently in the process for this same role and wants to connect / compare prep, feel free to comment or DM me.

Thanks a lot, I’d really appreciate any insight. I’m trying to prepare smart and focus on the most likely question types instead of spreading myself too thin.

Has anyone heard back yet about this year's internship? I applied back in June and my application is still pending. I had also applied for SWE internship which got rejected at one point but the SA one's still pending. Wondering if there's still a chance they'll reach out LOL

hi,

I took the OA for this around a week ago, 2 days later I emailed my recruiter asking for a update, after a day she replied saying " once I get the interviewers , the process shall move ahead" , and 4 days ( 2 working days ) since that , haven't heard back anything .

Does anyone know the difference between the two. I know they are obviously different roles, but what do they exactly do (esp SA), are they paid differently? Is a SA a glorified help desk worker?

Hey guys, does anyone have experience interviewing for this intern role? If so can you tell me more about it, does it contain technical components how are the phone screenings etc..? I appreciate your time :))

For those who have done the interview, what kind of questions can I expect? Should I expect a tech-heavy coding interview with a side of behavioral questions? Or vice-versa? I've seen that questions may relate to AWS, but will I have to do any live coding? Will it just be one interview or multiple rounds?

I have an upcoming back-to-back 45-minute interviews what should I expect and how do I prepare? Thank you for your response.

Hi,

Does anyone know any information about the technical interview portion of this role?
