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).
The process has been breezy so far. Just hope it stays like this. Whoever would like to apply, just know you will have a great time chatting with the recruiter. Mine was so polite.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Shopify (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2021
Interview
When the recruiter reaches out to you, they schedule a call for their screening and the Life Story interview. It's very casual and they want to learn about your career journey.
Two parts interview. Both technical and nontechnical. Unfortunately both interviewers came not prepared and I could tell that they didn’t even go through my resume. The technical interview was coding challenge and the interviewer was not interested in exchanging ideas. She was only interested in me finishing the task in time.

Question 1
Technical interview was a programming task. The nontechnical one was very high level and generic questions.
