J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Shopify
Entretien
The process went as follows; Personality fit, then coding interview. Then more in-depth coding interview, then system design interview, then behavioral interview. The personality fit was basically to see what makes you unique. The first coding interview was implementing a practical algorithm for a practical problem. Just brute force to get to the all day interview. The all day interview (about 4 hours) started with an hour solving a coding problem. The second interview was talking about system design. The 3rd was presenting what work you’ve done in the past. The last hour was behavioral questions.
typical interview process, one round with hr. followed by a 75 min coding interview pair programming with one of the engineers. In the coding interview it was encouraged to use ai.

Question 1
create a autocomplete system for search based on a list of search frequencies.
There was a first round with hr followed by a 1hour interview, use of AI was encouraged. Interviewer was not very knowledgeable and I had to discover a solution that she understands
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.
