Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Shopify nel mese di nov 2021
Colloquio
Half hour intro interview with engineering manager. This went fine, good conversation.
Forty minute coding interview with an engineer or tech lead. I'm terrible at algorithm challenges, but this one was really easy.
Hour long "Life Story" interview. I basically walked through my professional career. Apparently my life story was unacceptable to them. No clue what they judged me on, but a few days after this interview they said I'm out.
Overall it was a pretty positive interview process, I just think it's really lousy to be judged on some secret, totally subjective criteria after having to put on a performance like that. Am I supposed to be an engineer or a dancing monkey?

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.

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.
