I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify in Nov 2021
Interview
I received an email from a Development Manager at Shopify asking if I was interested in working there. We had a 30 min chat and I decided to apply. The process was very similar to what they described on the website. I had a 30 min tech challenge with a developer, then a life story interview with a recruiter, and finally a big session interview that included 2 pair programming sections (75min each) and 1 hour deep dive technical interview. They were very kind to send a Uber Eats voucher on the last interview since it was a long one.
All interviewers were extremely nice and helpful. The whole process took 3 weeks. I received the good news one day after the last interview.
