The hiring process at Shopify takes an average of 29 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Lead Software Engineer had the quickest hiring process (on average 1 day), whereas Senior relevance engineer roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 56 days).
I found the recruiter to be approachable and easy to communicate with. During our conversation, he recommended other positions that might be a better fit for my experience, which I had overlooked. I am grateful for his guidance. Additionally, my interactions with the hiring team in the subsequent rounds were pleasant and effortless.

Interview
Pretty standard - initial recruiter call to screen for fit, then meeting with hiring managers. I found a lot of the questions uncharacteristic, including asking me to solve a riddle.

Question 1
I see from your resume you have x skill, give me an example of how you would use that here.
Not greatest.. too many interviews and way too generic. no focus on individuals and their experience. Its just a pre-plannned steps that they are shoving people through. Had a referral and even then the people taking interview had nothing to do with hiring group.
