The interview process was very straightforward and clear. I had an initial conversation with the recruiter who approached me.

Then, I took a one-hour pair-programming challenge. It was a very easy problem and it was mostly about showing the ability to code!

The next step was Shopify's Life story interview. I talked to my main recruiter.

Last step was the virtual on-site interview. I had three interviews with engineers, managers, and directors from different teams.

• Two pair-programming sessions
• One system design / projects overview / behavioral interview

Shopify's approach to coding interviews is unique in the sense that the interviewer is not there to punch you or grill you or ask as many questions as they can. Shopify's interviews are there to help you demonstrate your best version.

I was not interviewed for a specific position, and team matching happened after the entire interview process, which I really liked. They assessed my skills and then found a position that is a fit for me.

I received an offer, and we discussed the details. Again, everything was pretty much standard.
