Entrevista
Shopify does a good job of giving you information you can use to prepare for your interview - however, their interview process is not consistent and really depends on your interviewers. I've had friends who had more system design questions for the same position. Furthermore, they are trying to follow the FAANG style of not telling you what team you're being considered for until you get a position - which is asking a lot of their candidates.
Other than the recruiter, the rest of the interviewers were unfortunately not people I'd want to work with. My first interviewer was working as I was answering my first pair programming question and the rest of my interviewers were very dismissive (stereotypical zero social skills kind of developers) and left me very little time to ask them questions.

Entrevista
I recently completed the interview process at Shopify, which spanned about three weeks. The stages included an initial online cognitive assessment and a pair programming round, followed by a virtual onsite featuring a second pair programming session, a technical deep dive, system design, and a "life story" interview.
Overall, it was an excellent experience. The interviewers were professional and highly engaged throughout. I found the technical problems to be very practical, and notably, the use of AI coding tools was encouraged during the pairing sessions. While the system design requirements were quite lengthy, the complexity was manageable as long as you remain calm, think out loud, and clarify expectations early on.
Had an initial recruiter call, very friendly. Then had a life story interview, very friendly casual conversation as well speaking about past work experiences and how it led to where I am. Was scheduled for a 75 mins coding round, but I dropped since I landed another offer
