SDE 2 - Interview had about six total rounds, including the recruiter conversation 1. After my resume was shortlisted a recruiter set up a 30 minute call with me to understand more about my background and my fit for the role 2, then was a technical screen over Zoom with the staff engineer where they asked a low level design style coding question ( not the typical leetcode round ) - you would be required to share your own IDE 3. After clearing the technical round was the loop round with 4 rounds - System Design round - Project deep dive : share a project of your choice and explain the architecture, design decisions, and different aspects of the project. A principal software engineer took this interview for me, so there were a lot of questions related to the design choices, current drawbacks of the design, some improvements , etc . This is a 1 hour round so be prepared. - Hiring Manager Round : standard behavioral questions - Data Structures and Algorithm ( similar to technical phone screen , you would be required to share your own IDE )

You will have a recruiter screen who asks about your background and takes your resume and their notes to a HM. The HM determines if and which loop you will interview for. If you are advanced, you then will have a FAANG-style coding screen. If you pass, you will have a FAANG-like onsite, with some slightly* (not totally) unique rounds to Amplitude's process. Process took about four weeks from recruiter call to decision. The interviewers here were very low-ego and easy to get along with. The recruiter, on the other hand, was uncongenial throughout and ultimately appeared to deprioritize my communications.
