Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Shopify (Toronto, ON) nel mese di set 2019
Colloquio
I applied for the job online and was contacted by the recruiter. She setup a technical phone screen with a software engineer which was done on hackerrack. You are given a question and are required to implement a function to complete some given task. The question was easy, I would say LeetCode easy level.
Several days later the recruiter setup a 1 on 1 life story interview which was 30 minutes and done via Google hangouts. After the interview I waited 1 week for an update and so I sent an email asking for updates. 3 weeks passed by still nothing. 2 months passed by and the recruiter finally sends me a generic email saying they won't be proceeding with me.
Overall a decent experience but terrible communication on the recruiters part. She would not reply to any of my emails. I asked for feedback after I got the rejection email and still nothing. This shows me they don't really respect the candidates time.

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.

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.
