Software Engineer Ii Interview Questions

3,998 software engineer ii interview questions shared by candidates

Recruiter call was pretty basic, they asked me what my previous experience was, if I was lead, since I was interviewing for senior role. They told me a system design round would be involved after the algorithm rounds and that I might have to go through additional interviews if I wanted to "level up". Most likely, based on performance, they would put you at mid level if you did not come from FAANG. I'm not supposed to share the questions, but there was 1 question you would find from blind 75, and one question that was NOT on blind 75. I did not make it to the system design round

I completed the Amazon SDE2 online assignment. I am bound by an NDA, so I cannot share specific questions or solutions. Overall, the assignment was challenging but fair, testing algorithmic problem-solving, coding skills, and system design knowledge. Time management was important, and the problems reflected real-world scenarios at Amazon.

1. Anagram Combination Counting Problem Given a list of words and sentences, determine how many unique sentences can be formed by replacing each word with any of its anagrams. Example: words = [‘listen’, ‘silent’, ‘it’, ‘is’] sentences = [‘listen it is silent’, ‘listen it is silent listen’] output = [4, 8] ⸻ 2. Implementing a File-System “find” Command Imagine implementing something like the Unix find command in a high-level language. Write code that can handle queries such as: • Find all files over 5 MB under a directory • Find all XML files under a directory • Advanced: files whose extension is Java OR all XML files with size between 5MB and 10MB ⸻ 3. Currency Conversion Problem Given a log of currency conversion rates (e.g., USD→EUR, EUR→GBP), write a function that converts between any two currencies. Example entries: {“from”:“USD”, “to”:“EUR”, “rate”:1.1} {“from”:“EUR”, “to”:“GBP”, “rate”:1.2} Meaning 1 USD = 1.32 GBP. 4: system design: book store review api
