We use a previously developed scattering-amplitudes-based framework for determining two-body Hamiltonians for generic binary systems with arbitrary spin $S$. By construction this formalism bypasses difficulties with unphysical singularities or higher-time derivatives. This framework has been previously used to obtain the exact velocity dependence of the $\mathcal O(G^2)$ quadratic-in-spin two-body Hamiltonian. We first evaluate the $S^3$ scattering angle and two-body Hamiltonian at this order in $G$, including not only all operators corresponding to the usual worldline operators, but also an additional set due to an interesting subtlety. We then evaluate $S^4$ and $S^5$ contributions at $\mathcal O(G^2)$ which we confirm by comparing against aligned-spin results. We conjecture that a certain shift symmetry together with a constraint on the high-energy growth of the scattering amplitude specify the Wilson coefficients for the Kerr black hole to all orders in the spin and confirm that they reproduce the previously-obtained results through $S^4$.
