Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Shopify (Ottawa, ON) nel mese di ago 2017
Colloquio
I've applied online, as thought my experience was relevant to what they seek (opensource projects, highload projects, platform design and implementation, passion to a technology with proofs in opensource contributions etc.).
Unfortunately after a 15 minutes call with HR, received a standard rejection email, saying that I'm not a candidate they want to proceed. No words to say really.
No coding assignment, no technical interview, nothing.
Do not have any clue about why this was a failure or what was the reason of not proceeding with the application.

1. pair coding again LRU cache I did what I did in previous one

Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 3 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Shopify nel mese di apr 2026
Colloquio
I recently completed the interview process at Shopify, which spanned about three weeks. The stages included an initial online cognitive assessment and a pair programming round, followed by a virtual onsite featuring a second pair programming session, a technical deep dive, system design, and a "life story" interview.
Overall, it was an excellent experience. The interviewers were professional and highly engaged throughout. I found the technical problems to be very practical, and notably, the use of AI coding tools was encouraged during the pairing sessions. While the system design requirements were quite lengthy, the complexity was manageable as long as you remain calm, think out loud, and clarify expectations early on.

Colloquio
Had an initial recruiter call, very friendly. Then had a life story interview, very friendly casual conversation as well speaking about past work experiences and how it led to where I am. Was scheduled for a 75 mins coding round, but I dropped since I landed another offer
