J'ai postulé via une agence de recrutement. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Shopify en déc. 2014
Entretien
3 Behavioural and general knowledge interviews: 1 with HR and 2 with devs. Relaxed and bidirectional. Good to show passion and personal projects I think. It worked for me at least. The process is very fast and efficient, they hire early and have deadlines. Interviews are done on Skype with webcam.
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.

Interview process went quickly. The recruiter was very responsive and nice, and made the whole experience 10 times better. The interviewers did not ask impossible questions and focused more on the thought process than the correct answer.

Question 1
The first 2 interviews were LeetCode-like questions. Not directly from leetcode, but if you know your data structures you'll be good. 3rd interview I had to prep a design document and share it and they asked questions about the decisions that were made and the rationale behind it.
