Entrevista
Interview process is quite long (Shopify thinks they are a FAANG company now). However, if you thoroughly work on the questions mentioned here in other reviews, you will be fine. Recruiter was extremely friendly, however, I barely had any communication throughout the process with them. I had to email them multiple times to get a response. There were other mistakes made during the process because of their disorganization. For example, scheduling an interview I had already cleared in the past again, and the wrong person was sent to interview me who didn't even know the language I was going to code in (I had provided language preference a long time ago multiple times) for a pair-programming interview. I had scheduled time-off to do this interview. I had to take additional time off work after to make another round happen. I had the following rounds:
1. Technical screen
2. Talk with dev manager
3. Pair programming - 2 interviews
4. Technical deep dive
5. Life story interview
Others here have described the process in detail. All my interviewers were extremely nice however one of the interviewers I had was rude and judgmental instead of being helpful during the pair programming.
Overall, I did not receive an offer but the recruiter was kind enough to walk me through feedback at the end, which I very much appreciated!
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.

Walk through a past technical project you worked on or owned.
Interview process went quickly. The recruiter was very responsive and nice, and made the whole experience 10 times better. The interviewers did not ask impossible questions and focused more on the thought process than the correct answer.

The first 2 interviews were LeetCode-like questions. Not directly from leetcode, but if you know your data structures you'll be good. 3rd interview I had to prep a design document and share it and they asked questions about the decisions that were made and the rationale behind it.
