Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Shopify
Entrevista
Interviewing with Shopify was the most delightful experience I've had interviewing in tech so far. They started out with their "Life Story" interview, followed by a technical screen. They then moved onto their virtual onsite, which started with 2 technical questions and finished with a recent project discussion. The interviewers knew how to make the experience feel collaborative, and how to make it feel like a natural conversation.
Everything was very smooth and Shopify was very accomodating, even including lunch for the day.

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.
