Shopify Software Engineer interview questions

Just to clear up some confusion. I don't live anywhere near Shopify so all my interviews was via Skype. I applied back in April - May of 2016. The hiring process didn't start till June, since the hiring process start it only took less than 3 weeks. Considering I live in the Bay Area that is an extremely fast process. I was asked about my life story. Some might think they are being too personal. But if you are joining a new family, I'm sure everyone wants to know who you are and if you're a good culture fit. They also ask what team I feel comfortable working at, either frontend or backend. That shows how much they care about my happiness working there. Second was to show off your project or something you contributed to. Third and last is a coding challenge which wasn't that hard at all. I'm sure they change it every time. Overall the whole experience of Shopify interview process is to see if you are a good fit. They can teach you to code, they can't teach you how to be you. I love the whole process and everyone was so friendly and open. I have done a lot of research and why I want to join them before I applied. I believe that not just doing what you like is important but also whom you're working for is also important. Good luck to you all and hope you found this helpful.

I had four interviews: 1: Met with the recruiter, talked about my life story 2: Met with a developer, talked about my projects 3: Met with a dev lead, did a technical problem 4: Met with a senior dev lead, did a technical problem. You can't fake it in these. Be genuine. If you don't know how to do something, ask, listen and learn. I came to the last three with really thoughtful technical questions that sparked discussions of 15+ minutes. This is a really good chance to show you're interested in how the company does things.
