# Amazon SDE I / AUTA APJ — Round 3 + Round 4 Question Bible

Evidence bible for **what a third live** and a **possible fourth** (HM / BR / GenAI Fluency) contained in first-hand IEs.  
Not a coaching book. No solutions. No STAR. No “practice tonight.” No invented Job **10454435** question list. No probability matrix.

Compiled from existing banks plus miner ingest [`_miner/R3-R4-NEW.md`](_miner/R3-R4-NEW.md) (targeted pass, not a 500-host sweep).

Banks read (not written): [`Question-Research-BIBLE.md`](../Question-Research-BIBLE.md) · [`All_Rounds_Question.md`](../All_Rounds_Question.md) · [`AllQuestion.md`](../AllQuestion.md) · [`Round_2_Question.md`](../Round_2_Question.md)

## 0. Lock + how to read (Adarsh: R1/R2 done; this is third live + possible fourth)

**Lock:**

| | |
| --- | --- |
| Person | Adarsh Vishwakarma |
| Role | Software Dev Engineer I, Amazon University Talent Acquisition (AUTA APJ) |
| Job ID | **10454435** — [amazon.jobs JD](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10454435/software-dev-engineer-i-amazon-university-talent-acquisition) — ADCI Karnataka, Java |
| Format | Zoom + Amazon Live Code. “No compile / no run” is Class C process unless an IE states it. |
| R1 | Already happened **13 Aug 2026** |
| R2 | Already happened **18 Aug 2026**, 60 min, same Zoom Meeting ID, second Live Code |
| This file | Upcoming **third live** + possible **fourth** (BR / HM / GenAI Fluency) |
| Job 10454435 questions | **Still none.** No public IE names this Job ID for a specific live-round question. |

**How to use this file:**

1. **§4** first: what a **true third live after two live techs** contained (Adarsh’s situation).
2. **§5** next: what a **fourth** live / remaining BR / HM / Fluency contained when the loop went past three.
3. **§6–§11** are lookup indexes. **§12** is the source of truth per IE. If they conflict, §12 + the URL win.
4. Two columns on every later-slot row: **IE heading** (what they wrote) vs **mapped slot for Adarsh’s upcoming third live**.
5. **OA is not a round.** OA problems omitted.
6. **OA-as-R1 trap:** if they called OA “Round 1”, their “Round 3” / Tech Interview 2 is often **our R2** (already done). That row is **not** Adarsh’s third live. Flagged **OA-as-R1 Y**. Their **BR / HM / GenAI after those two lives** can still map to Adarsh’s third.
7. Unnamed stays **unnamed**. No invented LC/GFG ids.
8. Intern = **INTERN** (§13). SDE II / US 3×60 / FTC 5-round / CN / experienced 4-round = **NOT MY FORMAT** (§13).
9. Reprints = **one** report. Extra URLs = Duplicate of #.
10. Class C (§14) is never evidence a question was asked.
11. Reliability: `opened-body` | `snippet` | `403` | `timeout` | `duplicate` | `Class B`.
12. Do not convert “observed in N reports” into Job **10454435** probabilities.

**Closest evidence for Adarsh’s upcoming third live** (already had two lives): named AUTA/UTA two-live then a later slot, in this order:

## 1. Quota this compile (honest; miner + existing bible; no padding)

Remap compile from existing banks, then **ingest** of [`_miner/R3-R4-NEW.md`](_miner/R3-R4-NEW.md). That miner pass was **not** a 500-URL / 150-host sweep.

| Item | This compile |
| --- | --- |
| Miner `interview_notebook/_miner/R3-R4-NEW.md` | **In.** Seeded **68** · fetched **~55** · opened first-hand IE bodies **~33** (reprints once). 403/404/timeout **~12**. Far under 500. Do not pad. |
| New URL fetches in *this markdown ingest* | **0** (bodies were opened by the miner, not re-fetched here) |
| Job 10454435 question-level hits | **still none** |
| “412 URLs opened” / “500 sources” from pasted research dumps | **Not this compile’s quota.** Do not launder. Prior bible Fleet 2 cluster counts stay in [`Question-Research-BIBLE.md`](../Question-Research-BIBLE.md) §1. |
| IEs included here because they have a **third or fourth live after remap** | listed in §12 (AUTA first, then other India SDE I, then older GFG compact) |

**Do not claim 500 unique opened bodies for this R3/R4 compile.**

## 2. Job 10454435 — still none

**Status: still none.** No public first-hand IE names Job ID **10454435** for a specific live-round coding / OOD / LP / GenAI / HM / BR question. **I could not verify** any 10454435-specific later-round bank. Never invent one.

## 3. Round map for THIS candidate vs IE numbering (OA-as-R1 trap with examples)

**Adarsh’s map:**

| Our slot | Meaning for this candidate |
| --- | --- |
| **R1** | First live — **done** 13 Aug 2026 |
| **R2** | Second live — **done** 18 Aug 2026 |
| **R3** | Upcoming **third live** (IE may label it HM, BR, GenAI Fluency, Round 3, Interview 3, F2F3) |
| **R4 / remaining BR or HM** | Possible **fourth** if the loop continues after the third |
| **OA** | Not a round |

**Trap:** GFG / some Medium / some LC posts number **OA as Round 1**. Then:

| Their heading | Maps to Adarsh |
| --- | --- |
| Their Round 2 / first live | **our R1** (done) |
| Their Round 3 / Technical Interview 2 / Day 2 | **our R2** (done) — **not** the upcoming third |
| Their BR / HM / GenAI **after** those two lives | **our R3** analogue |

If the loop is OA + 3 where the second technical is **system design** (Rate Limiter IE), that second technical is **not** UTA two-DSA and is **not** Adarsh’s already-finished R2 shape. Their third (LP-only) can still be a later-slot analogue. Label loop type.

**Vanshika** numbering is odd (Interview 2 = eight LPs; Interview 3 = Unix `find` as the **second coding**). Not a clean “two DSA then third.” Unix find stays mapped as **R2 analogue (3rd live / second coding)** in the main bible — **not** Adarsh’s upcoming third after two Live Codes. Eight LPs on Interview 2 = HM-shaped, but the coding order does not match Adarsh.

**Rate Limiter** (IE.in 2025-grad) was **their R2** of an OA+3 SD loop, **not** a third live, **not** UTA. Independent SDE I count remains **1**. Their third was LP-only (row above).

**Taanya:** BR (project/decision/mistake UNNAMED) then **HM** (maps + heaps UNNAMED; GenAI time saved / WLB). Third vs fourth depends on order they wrote: BR then HM. Both are later slots after two lives.

## 5. What a fourth live / BR / HM / GenAI Fluency contained

When the loop continued **past** the third live. Some AUTA loops stop at three (third **is** the BR). Some have HM then BR. Some have GenAI Fluency as an extra DSA hour then BR.

R2 OOD (dog check-in, logger, Parking Lot, Locker as R2, Rate Limiter, Unix find, etc.) is **already-done analogue** for Adarsh unless the IE’s coding order puts it after two lives. **Arijit unnamed SD = R2, not R3.**

**Conflict (do not collapse):** UTA Rank A is **mostly two-DSA**. Later-slot OOD **does** appear (Shiwangi bookstore R3; Naina light SD R3; Bhavya Spring HM). Parking Lot as **SDE I R2** is [GFG fresher](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/interview-experiences/amazon-interview-experience-for-sde1-fresher-off-campus/). Parking Lot as **their R3** is DevBrainiac **NMF**. “SDE I has no OOD” is false. “Parking Lot is the AUTA third live” is also false on Rank A AUTA two-DSA IEs.

Rate Limiter later-slot: **still 1** SDE I live ask, and that ask was **R2 of OA+3 SD**, not R3.

**Intern (not FTE third live):** IE.in oncampus intern slot **titled** GenAI Fluency was **Next Greater Element Variation + DP on Stocks max 2 tx** (that intern’s **R1**, not a third). [LC 7643209](https://leetcode.com/discuss/post/7643209/amazon-sde-intern-interview-experience-b-ebh1/) intern slot **titled** Gen AI Fluency was **min-heap DSA UNNAMED** (NDA; opened-body). **Not Distance K.** Dist-K no-parent-map remains **LC 7623949** FTE Fluency + **LC 7406809** AUTA R2. Aditi intern GenAI was **Interview 2**. LC 8463405 intern R2: hallucination/RAG/guardrails/bias + Reorganize String talk-through.

DevBrainiac GenAI on a slot they labeled **R2 = HM** is **NMF** (experienced 4-round).

## 11. CS fundamentals actually asked

Later-slot (R3/R4/HM/BR) only. Igreaper Kafka / B+ Tree was **their Round 3 = our R2** — **not** Adarsh’s third.

| What | Mapped | URL | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| CN (amazon.com link in background); transactions and deadlocks; Bankers Algo; threads vs processes | R4 | GFG sde-1-17 | after F2F3 Validate sudoku |
| Spring login Controller/Facade/Service/Repository; eliminate if-else validations in facade | R3/HM | Bhavya | not Login Tracker |
| Spring Boot; design principles | HM | Kushank | with GenAI / AI agents |
| S3 / NoSQL / sharding / Docker / EC2 / REST | listed after BR | IE.in L4 2025 fresher | slot not split |
| DNS, MAC vs IP, thrashing, virtual memory | their R2 (OA-as-R1) | GFG 6-months-experienced-off-campus | **Dec 2020**; not a third-live analogue |

UTA two-DSA Rank A IEs generally **do not** name OS/DB/CN on the third slot. HashMap internals on LC 6653463 was **R1**, not R3.

OS processes vs threads / deadlocks / memory on IE.in 2025-grad was **R1** of the Rate Limiter loop.

---

## 12. By interview (one block per IE that has a third or fourth live)

§12.A = named AUTA/UTA true third. §12.B = other India SDE I. §12.C = OA-as-R1 two-lives then BR/GenAI (their “R3” DSA is **not** Adarsh’s third). §12.D = older GFG compact. OA omitted. Reprints = one block.

## 18. User-paste fleet (2026-08-28) — paste-only until URL opened

Candidate paste remapped in [`18-new-ies.html`](18-new-ies.html). **Not** a 500-host sweep. **Job 10454435 still none.** OA is not a round. Unnamed stays unnamed. No guessed LC/GFG numeric ids.

**Miner file [`_miner/PASTE-IES.md`](_miner/PASTE-IES.md): exists (written after the first miner crashed mid-fetch).** Seed-before-fetch: [`_miner/source_seed_paste_ies.md`](_miner/source_seed_paste_ies.md) (40 URLs). Follow-up fetches: **8** attempted, **2** IE bodies opened (GFG 2021-4 truncated; GFG sde-1-29 already-banked). Everything not opened stays **paste-only / I could not verify URL**. Do **not** copy paste-only rows into §12. GFG 2021-4 BR titles may be copied as year-out opened-body (see §18.F).

### 18.C LC 6461439 — Interview 3 behavioral prompts (list)

IE already in §12.B: Interview 3 **31 Jan 2025** = LP only; Interview 4 = Distance K + LCA. Existing bank: R3 prompts **UNNAMED exact**.

Parent paste / [`18-new-ies.html`](18-new-ies.html) lists Interview 3 as:

1. Implement / something **challenging**
2. **Critical feedback**
3. **Deep dive**
4. **Didn’t know how to proceed**
5. Improved **shortcomings**
6. **Missed a deadline**

Until `_miner/PASTE-IES.md` opens the LC body, that six-item list is **paste-only**. Do not overwrite §12’s **UNNAMED exact**. Do not treat these as a new IE.

### 18.D NEW QUESTIONS this fleet vs already-banked / NEW EVIDENCE

**NEW QUESTIONS (paste-only — no opened URL this compile; stay out of §12):**

- Max path sum **between two leaves** as a **later** live (same hour as remove-k-digits + design patterns). Not in §6. Do not stamp LC 124.
- **Remove k digits** on that same “their R3” (OA numbering unknown). Seed #15 [LC 6630775](https://leetcode.com/discuss/post/6630775/amazon-sde1-round-2-by-harry_potter_10-zubi/) is Remove K Digits as **their R2**, not this combo. Seed #39 Desiqna intern OA-as-R1 — INTERN / wrong slot.
- Zoom LiveCode: combination **subset** / target-sum; BFS **distance** threshold; **knight** generalized (not [LC 6629948](https://leetcode.com/discuss/post/6629948/amazon-sde-1-20232024-graduate-round-2-b-v6wy/) Minimum Knight Moves **their R2** unless a body matches 10000×10000).
- Project + **deployed app** deep-dive with interviewer **visiting the app**.
- AUTA frontend: **Next Permutation inside a GenAI-titled slot**; **Celebrity variant as BR** (2026-shaped paste; **no href**). Distinct from 6806195 R2 and off-campus-10 R1.
- Hyderabad group: **LC 315 named by the candidate** in the same loop as Locker + HM resume + BR LP. **Do not** attach 315 to Uday.
- Intern: **Kosaraju** + production-ready function + resume grill (**INTERN**).
- GFG labeled BR: **LIP matrix** + **even Kth ancestor** sum (**year-out 2021**; GFG body **opened** on follow-up, truncated; not a Job 10454435 ask).
- USA new-grad: min-heap **partition assignment**; loyal-customer **logs**; **log rate limiter OOD as their R4** (NMF; count stays 1).

**Already-banked (not NEW QUESTIONS):**

| Item | Where |
| --- | --- |
| Shiwangi bookstore R3 + SW R4 | §12.A |
| Conflict teammate/manager LP (exact) | GFG Apr 2026 HM, §9 / §12 |
| LC 6461439 R3 LP-only + R4 Dist-K/LCA | §12.B |
| Amazon Locker | Prince R1 Job 3057703; Uday R2; §8 note (R2 analogue) |
| Rate Limiter SDE I live | **count = 1**, IE.in 2025-grad **R2**, §4.B / §15 |
| Distance K labeled GenAI Fluency | LC 7623949, §10 — **FTE**, not intern |
| Next Permutation **similar** AUTA | LC 6806195 **R2**, not GenAI slot |
| Celebrity approach | off-campus-10 **R1**, year-out; §14 Class C if cited as 2026 AUTA BR |
| Alexa / device battery LLD on BR | GFG sde-1-29, §8 / §12.D |
| Playlist / FTC 5-round | §13 NMF (LC 6629134 family) |
| Intern Fluency **min-heap UNNAMED** | LC 7643209, §7 / §13 |

**NEW EVIDENCE of known:** GFG sde-1-29 Alexa BR **re-opened** this follow-up (already §8 / §12.D). Paste restates Shiwangi, Locker, 6461439, conflict LP, Rate Limiter, intern Fluency correction. Logger 1ueybmg **403** this pass.

**Correction (repeat; do not regress):** intern slot titled GenAI Fluency on [LC 7643209](https://leetcode.com/discuss/post/7643209/amazon-sde-intern-interview-experience-b-ebh1/) is **unnamed min-heap DSA**, **not** Distance K. Dist-K no-parent-map remains **LC 7623949** FTE Fluency (+ AUTA R2 on LC 7406809). Do **not** treat intern Fluency as Distance K.

### 18.E Unverified / NMF / Class C (this fleet)

| Claim | Verdict |
| --- | --- |
| Login Tracker later-round | **I could not verify.** Unchanged. |
| Second independent SDE I Rate Limiter (USA paste R4 OOD, or AUTA R3) | **No.** Count **stays 1**. |

| AUTA frontend Next Permutation + Celebrity BR | paste-only; **no href** |
| Hyderabad LC 315 + Locker + HM + BR as **one** first-hand URL | **I could not verify** that grouping |
| Max path between two leaves + k-digits + patterns as one IE | **I could not verify URL** |
| SDE-2 HLD compilation; 5 YOE split-pay HLD; Substack PowerAware interfaces; Striver Amazon sheet | **Class C / NMF** — not evidence a UTA third live asked them |
| Seed #14 loyal-customers Medium | Interviewer **prep article**, not a candidate IE |

### 18.F §12-style blocks

Paste-only rows stay out of §12. One **year-out** opened-body from the follow-up:

```

Shiwangi is already §12.A — not recopied. GFG sde-1-29 Alexa BR already §12.D — not recopied.
