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).
Three rounds, first a interview with a team member, then a technical interview with an engineer, and finally the life story interview with a recruiter. However, there was a lengthy application process before being offered an interview.
First round: Case study style SQL questions with python coding and short assessment like an IQ test
Final round: marketplace case study, coding based analysis, life story, and in depth project
Seconding what has already been said about the app review specialist position. Received nothing but positive feedback the whole way, was told they want to move quickly, played their silly little games with multiple rounds of interviews and a ridiculous online test only to literally be ghosted by the recruiter who is currently hiring for the role as of April 2026. Couldn’t even take five seconds to write “no” when I asked for follow up on whether or not I was hired. The complete lack of professionalism has ensured I will never apply to another Shopify job in the future. I can’t even get the decency of a response after putting several weeks into this job, blocking off my calendar during a busy season at work to take multiple rounds of interviews. Unbelievable.
