J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Shopify
Entretien
I applied online, after a few days I received an email for a face to face interview if I am in Ottawa, otherwise an interview through Skype.
I chose Skype. The interview started with 15 minutes delay, the interviewer hadn't read my resume before interview. I had searched through internet about their interview before and every where they had said just be yourself and honest with us in Shopify interviews. But it was wrong!
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
First she asked, Why did you apply for this position?
When She found out I am an emigrant, she asked where were you before? Why did you decide to come to Canada? (!!!) , why don't you apply for a full time job?
It was obvious that she lost her interest after that. The interview was suppposed to be one hour but she finished it by 15 minutes without asking much about my background and experiences!
Very disappointing and unfair interview.
The interview was intense and definitely exceeded my expectations. The technical rounds were particularly challenging, but I felt prepared. One of the system design questions was about creating a webhook delivery system with various complexities, and I was relieved because I had explored that exact topic on PracHub just days before. After tackling some coding problems, I faced some behavioral questions that tested my thought process. Overall, the experience was demanding, but I was thrilled to receive an offer, which I happily accepted.

Question 1
Design a webhook delivery system that retries on failure with exponential backoff. Cover idempotency, ordering guarantees, dead-letter queues, and how you'd handle a downstream consumer that's been offline for hours.

Interview process went quickly. The recruiter was very responsive and nice, and made the whole experience 10 times better. The interviewers did not ask impossible questions and focused more on the thought process than the correct answer.

Question 1
The first 2 interviews were LeetCode-like questions. Not directly from leetcode, but if you know your data structures you'll be good. 3rd interview I had to prep a design document and share it and they asked questions about the decisions that were made and the rationale behind it.
