Entretien
The interview process consisted of initial call with the hiring manager, a Life Story interview with the recruiter and and then a PjM planning walkthrough. Additionally, I had interviews with three other team members.
The interview process took 2,5 months from application to decision call. All the questions were typical for a PjM position, no surprises there.
Everyone was very enthusiastic about their jobs and easy to talk to. Unfortunately, in the end I was told that they decided to postpone hiring for this position indefinitely. It’s quite unusual to hear from a company of that caliber and I wish they aligned on this before dragging candidates through the process for months.

If you are American, do not interview with Shopify - lowest ROI in the industry. Apparently, they are a big deal in third-world Canada fraught with egregious unemployment and they interview with this in mind. It's a tedious loop of company lifers and failed devs. They seem anxious and risk-averse. Scrap it - re-evaluate your time - literally any mid American company is a better return on invested time (look at the salaries). I think the process was like 3-4 months - absolute mental illness for this caliber of company.

Root cause questions with some Shopify-specific product. Learn RCA frameworks.
Too many rounds of interviews. The last round is a case study interview which is not a great format for assessing if a candidate would do well in the role.

They ask for your life story which I felt was a great way of learning about a candidate, their journey, and how it has shaped them to excel in the role they're applying for.
