Interview Process
The interview process consisted of two main stages:
1. Initial Recruiter Interview
This was a video interview conducted via Google Meet. The recruiter focused on my résumé and career history. There was also a brief and straightforward coding exercise, but the primary goal of this stage was to discuss my background and skills. The recruiter was friendly and made the process comfortable.
2. Technical and Behavioral Interviews
After passing the initial stage, I was invited to a second round, which took place over a single day. This included:
• Behavioral Interview: Questions focused on teamwork and collaboration. For example, I was asked to describe a time I dealt with conflict with another engineer and how I resolved it.
• Technical Interviews: These involved solving medium-difficulty coding problems. One task required creating a simple ASCII-based game where a character could be moved using arrow keys. It was straightforward but tested problem-solving and coding skills.
All interviews were conducted via video and felt structured and professional.
Outcome
I didn’t receive an offer but was provided with feedback afterward, which was greatly appreciated. The overall experience was positive, and I’d consider reapplying in the future.

Entretien
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.
