Northridge, CAPosted Apr 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

This was a contract role under Amazon LEO, and it started with a pre-screen where I answered general questions about my background and the projects I had worked on.

The next two interviews were more technical and broad, leaning into high-level systems architecture plus networking questions.

I also got basic C/C++ programming questions as part of those discussions. It felt like the evaluation was trying to confirm both systems thinking and practical programming fluency, and the overall experience matched that mixed-signal expectation for a systems-and-networking heavy role.
