Amazon's interview process is famously thorough, and a large part of it comes down to a recurring set of coding questions. This course is organized around the 50 that appear most frequently.

What Makes This Different

Instead of abstract theory, every question is worked in an interactive environment right in the browser, so there's no setup step between deciding to practice and actually solving a problem.

Skills This Builds

  • Systematic algorithmic problem-solving
  • Efficient use of core data structures and design patterns
  • Confidence answering under real interview conditions

The format suits both developers preparing for their first Amazon interview and experienced engineers looking to refresh skills before tackling Amazon or other FAANG-level interviews.

Who teaches Grokking Amazon Coding Interview? Design Gurus

Design Gurus thumbnail

Design Gurus (designgurus.io) is the technical-interview-preparation platform founded by Arslan Ahmad, a former engineer at Facebook, Microsoft, and Hulu. The platform is best known for the Grokking the System Design Interview course — one of the most widely-used resources for the system-design portion of senior engineering interviews — alongside a deep catalog of coding-interview, behavioural, and ML / data-system design preparation material.

The Design Gurus approach is pattern-based: rather than memorising specific problems, the courses teach the recurring patterns (sliding window, two pointers, monolithic architecture, sharding strategies) that recur across interview question categories. The result is preparation that scales — engineers who study the patterns can solve problems they've never seen before, which is closer to what interviewers are actually testing for.

The CourseFlix listing under this source carries over 30 Design Gurus courses spanning coding interviews, system design, machine-learning system design, mobile system design, behavioural interviews, and the senior-level material aimed at staff-and-above engineering positions. Material is paid and aimed at engineers preparing for technical interviews at large tech companies.
