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).

Question 1
Asked me to write a relatively simple code which I have without any problems. Have not finished as they offered to ask questions. Declined for no apparent reason.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Shopify (New York, NY) in Apr 2024
Interview
It started with a standard Recruiter call, then a longer hiring manager conversation, then a "Reverse Interview" where I was assessed on how I interviewed the interviewer. Had I continued I believe there would have been a longer virtual onsite.

Questions about my experience, prioritization, etc. I also had to reverse interview a member of their team, which was fun.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Shopify
Interview
The people were generally friendly but I was told the coding interview would be a "practical backend exercise" when it turned out to be more of a DSA style coding challenge. I had not prepped for that and did poorly.
