Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró 6 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Shopify (Ottawa, ON) en ene 2017
Entrevista
So the first thing you do during your application, is that you have to complete a coding task that you will send with your application. Then, two weeks later I got a request for a Skype Interview with one of the intern recruiters. The way their interviews work is that instead of going through a checklist of questions, instead you just give out your "Life Story", going through your life in detail. It was a rather pleasant experience, my interviewer was friendly and seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say.
Unfortunately, a month after the Skype interview, I was rejected. However, she did mention that if I did move forward, the next step was to do an on-site interview with a couple of the developers working there.
typical interview process, one round with hr. followed by a 75 min coding interview pair programming with one of the engineers. In the coding interview it was encouraged to use ai.

There was a first round with hr followed by a 1hour interview, use of AI was encouraged. Interviewer was not very knowledgeable and I had to discover a solution that she understands
The interview was intense and definitely exceeded my expectations. The technical rounds were particularly challenging, but I felt prepared. One of the system design questions was about creating a webhook delivery system with various complexities, and I was relieved because I had explored that exact topic on PracHub just days before. After tackling some coding problems, I faced some behavioral questions that tested my thought process. Overall, the experience was demanding, but I was thrilled to receive an offer, which I happily accepted.

Design a webhook delivery system that retries on failure with exponential backoff. Cover idempotency, ordering guarantees, dead-letter queues, and how you'd handle a downstream consumer that's been offline for hours.
