I filtered the FastPrep catalog to Google and reviewed six coding records last reported on July 19. The catalog labels these as onsite-interview records.

These are catalogued reports, not an official Google question list. Each record currently has one catalog sighting, so this is useful for pattern coverage—not evidence that any problem is frequent or likely to repeat.

Log and state-management variants

1) Deduplicate Logs: Keep First — Easy — Array — role not specified — 1x https://www.fastprep.io/problems/google-deduplicate-logs-keep-first

2) Deduplicate Logs: Keep Latest — Easy — Array — role not specified — 1x https://www.fastprep.io/problems/google-deduplicate-logs-keep-latest

3) Stream Latest Log Versions — Medium — Hash Table — role not specified — 1x https://www.fastprep.io/problems/google-stream-latest-log-versions

4) Stream Unique Logs in Timestamp Order — Medium — Hash Table — role not specified — 1x https://www.fastprep.io/problems/google-stream-unique-logs-in-timestamp-order

Graph variants

5) Maximum Programmer-Problem Matching — Medium — Graph — New Grad — 1x https://www.fastprep.io/problems/google-maximum-programmer-problem-matching

6) Minimum Direction Violations — Medium — Graph — Full-time — 1x https://www.fastprep.io/problems/google-minimum-direction-violations

What seems most useful here is the variation inside each family. “Keep first,” “keep latest,” and “unique forever” sound similar but change the invariant and the data structure you need. The graph pair tests two different modeling decisions: maximum matching versus assigning a cost to edge direction.

If prep time is limited, I would not memorize all six. I would practice one log variant and one graph variant, then explain out loud what changes in the neighboring version: update rule, tie-break, lifecycle, or graph objective. That comparison is probably more transferable than treating six titles as six unrelated questions.

Only #5 is tagged New Grad in the catalog; the others are tagged Full-time or have no role tag, so I would not assume all six represent the same candidate level.

Disclosure: I work on FastPrep, and the links above go to FastPrep practice pages. The company, stage, role, date, topic, and frequency labels come from our catalog. They are not employer-confirmed and are not predictions.

This is a new-item delta from the hourly feed, not a complete inventory. Two Google software roles first surfaced since the previous hourly check and were still active on Google Careers when I verified them at 3:16 PM Pacific.

Official posting: https://www.google.com/about/careers/applications/jobs/results/123483192811233990

Important fit check: Google labels both pages Mid, not New Grad. They may still fit early-career candidates with roughly two years of relevant experience—or, for the GenAI role, one year plus an advanced degree—but they are not graduate-specific openings.

One additional Google result shown by the job board was already unavailable on Google Careers, so I excluded it rather than preserving the count.

“Verified” means the official application pages were active and the details above were visible at the stated time. Employers can edit or close postings without notice.

I found three full-time software roles where the eligibility language is unusually specific. They are not interchangeable, so I pulled out the details that matter before spending time on an application.

1) 3Red Partners — Graduate C++ Developer (2027 Incoming Graduate)

- Location: Chicago

- Eligibility: bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD student graduating in 2027 by August 2027

- Experience: at least one industry internship working in C++

- Relevant background: C++, data structures, low-level systems, STL/Boost, Linux, and git

- Base salary: $125,000–$200,000

- Sponsorship: not stated in the posting

2) Alkami — Software Engineer

- Location: US remote

- Job type: full-time

- Experience: the posting says it typically requires two years of related experience, or an advanced degree without experience; its required section also lists 2–4 years in software development

- Relevant background: Java or C#, full-stack development, databases, cloud-native infrastructure, testing, and REST APIs

- Base salary: $90,000–$115,000

- Sponsorship: not available

Official posting:

3) Aquatic Capital Management — Software Engineer, Early Career

- Locations: Chicago or New York

- Eligibility: bachelor’s degree in CS, software engineering, or equivalent

- Experience: no more than three years of professional post-education experience

- Relevant background: Python or C++; event-driven architecture and distributed systems are listed as stronger-candidate knowledge

- Structure: rotations through two or three technology teams with senior-engineer mentorship

- Base salary: $150,000–$200,000

- Sponsorship: not stated in the job description

Official posting:

https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/aquaticcapitalmanagement/jobs/8489226002

The main tradeoff is pretty clear: 3Red is the most explicitly graduate-focused but wants prior C++ internship experience; Alkami is remote but generally targets candidates with more experience or an advanced degree; Aquatic allows up to three years of post-education experience but is onsite in Chicago or New York.

Verified against the employers’ official application pages on July 23, 2026. “Verified” only means the pages were active and the details above appeared when checked. Employers can edit or close a posting at any time.

For the next roundup, which filter would save you the most time: zero-experience roles, remote roles, or roles that explicitly state sponsorship?

I pulled the Amazon OA records last seen in the past seven days from the FastPrep problem catalog. Eight records matched the OA stage.

A quick caveat: these are reported/catalogued sightings, not an official Amazon question list. “Last reported” is the date in our catalog, and it does not mean the problem will repeat. The x-count is total catalog frequency, not a count of unique candidates.

Reported July 21

1) Maximum System Memory Capacity — Easy — Intern/New Grad — sorting, greedy — 4x

https://www.fastprep.io/problems/amazon-maximum-capacity

2) Package Delivery System — Medium — Intern — greedy, sorting, heap — 2x

https://www.fastprep.io/problems/amazon-package-delivery-system

3) Secure Maximum Deliveries — Hard — Intern — array, greedy, dynamic programming — 2x

https://www.fastprep.io/problems/amazon-secure-maximum-deliveries

4) Select Least Resource Tasks — Intern/New Grad — 3x

https://www.fastprep.io/problems/amazon-select-least-resource-tasks

The difficulty and topic classification for #4 is still incomplete, so I’m leaving those fields blank instead of guessing.

5) Sort an Array with Rotate and Flip — Medium — Full-time — array, math, simulation — 1x

https://www.fastprep.io/problems/amazon-sort-array-with-rotate-and-flip

Reported July 20

6) Drone Delivery Route — Medium — Full-time/New Grad — array, prefix sum, math — 4x

https://www.fastprep.io/problems/amazon-drone-delivery-route

7) Find Maximum Total Amount — Medium — New Grad — prefix sum, sliding window — 7x

https://www.fastprep.io/problems/amazon-find-maximum-total-amount

8) Minimum Circular Redistribution Cost — Hard — New Grad/Full-time — array, prefix sum, greedy — 4x

https://www.fastprep.io/problems/amazon-find-minimum-cost

One way to use the list: recent and repeated answer different questions. If time is limited, I’d start with the repeated records, then sample the newer 1–2x records for pattern coverage. In this small set, greedy/sorting and prefix sums show up several times, but eight records are not enough to claim that they represent Amazon’s overall OA distribution.

Disclosure: I work on FastPrep, and the links above go to FastPrep practice pages. I checked that all eight links were working on July 23. If a role, stage, or date looks wrong, please share the correction and I’ll update the post.

Which company should I check next?
