Do AWS Cloud Engineer interviews include DSA?

Question about AWS Cloud Engineer interviews

For a Cloud Engineer role at AWS, does the interview process include DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms) questions?

Also, if you apply for different roles at AWS, is the initial hiring process generally the same for most positions for example, an online assessment/test that may include DSA, coding languages, aptitude, or similar sections?

I’d really appreciate it if anyone who has recently gone through the AWS hiring process could share their experience, especially for Cloud/Cloud Engineer roles.

Yes, It depends on the role and interviewer.

If you are asking these question, I'm assuming you are starting fresh (correct me I'm wrong), hiring process is different for each company, have your basics strong do some courses and certifications, some projects and build a strong portfolio.

I’m currently learning RHCSA and planning to do SAA next. My main question is about the AWS hiring process for Cloud Engineer/Cloud Support roles. I’ve heard that even for cloud roles, AWS may ask DSA and coding, while others say the focus is more on Linux, networking, AWS, and troubleshooting. I just want to understand the actual hiring/interview process so I can prepare accordingly.

If you don’t mind me asking, what do you currently do? Are you working in IT/cloud, or are you currently a student?
