Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

February 1, 2021
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Interviewed for a Sr. Software Engineer role. I had an initial technical screening, and the interviewer was super impressed with my coding and problem-solving skills. I received an email on the same day to schedule the "Life Story Interview."

I scheduled it for two days later. The interviewer asked me about:

  • My previous roles and responsibilities
  • Why Shopify
  • Explaining my recent project and the tech stack

A couple of days later, I got a rejection, stating they were moving forward with other candidates. I'm not sure why my life story wasn't interesting enough to advance to the next rounds.

Questions

  1. My previous roles and responsibilities

  2. Why Shopify?

  3. Explain my recent project and the tech stack.
