I posted my full Amazon contract in this thread, with highlights on the key parts. I was an SDE-3 (Level 6), hired in Dublin, and then moved to Seattle after 2 years: https://twitter.com/dvassallo/status/1157698145632976896 https://twitter.com/dvassallo/status/1157698145632976896
AFAIK, software engineers don't get the 18-month non-compete clause that triggered the cited lawsuit. There's a less harsh clause of 18-months that prohibits working with Amazon customers and vendors. And, there's also a 12-month period where you can't work with any ex-employee who worked at Amazon in the past 12 years. More details in the thread.
