I applied online for an internship position on their website. I had to solve a task and pitch some ideas to improve Shopify, along with my application. After three weeks, I received a call from the recruiter stating that my resume had been selected.

The first round was with someone from the talent acquisition team. She asked about my background, life story, and childhood. Basically, she wanted to know how I developed a passion for coding. The interview lasted about an hour.

The second round was with a lead engineer. I had to show him a project that I was proud of. During the interview, I sent him a link to my GitHub repo and explained everything from scratch. He seemed very impressed by the end of the interview. He also asked a couple of questions related to scaling and overall microservices architecture.

The following week, I got a call from the recruiter explaining that I was not selected.

1. First round: Life story.

2. Second round: Talk about a project, scalability, and microservices architecture.
