I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Shopify (Austin, TX) in Jan 2022
Interview
Four steps. Initial screening, personality, and two live coding session exams. Each lasted about 1 hour. Technical questions were the hardest part, but fairly standard for the industry. No leet code type questions. More questions around real-world type situations, which I appreciated.
