While about 1/3rd of the phone screen covers technical topics, quite a lot of it is “behavioural questioning” to see how well your experience aligns with Amazon’s leadership principles (ignore the “leadership” name, they apply to everybody). Same with the rest of the process, so I’m not sure how much a cert would take off to be honest. I think there is value in certification anyway, as per the AWS certs, but not as a “let’s skip part of the hiring process”, maybe just edges you on the CV screen perhaps.
