J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Shopify
Entretien
I did the initial coding interview which went well and moved on to the "Growth Path" interview. After that interview, I didn't hear anything back for weeks so I assumed they had ghosted me. But 3 weeks later they contacted me to do a "Life Story" interview and when I checked the interview process tracker, it appears the growth path interview disappeared and got replaced by the life story interview? So it's 3 weeks later and they are essentially asking me to interview for the same round a second time just under a different name. They also didn't have availability for this interview until a few weeks out. I haven't gotten an offer or rejection yet but it seems like the process will take months to get to final rounds.
Overall it makes their interview/recruiting process seem quite unorganized and unprofessional.

Question 1
After reading the careers portal, what's your take on Holding the Tension?
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.
