Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Shopify en nov 2015
Entrevista
3 interviews. first was "tell us your story" and the interview was more of an informal chat about my history. The following two interviews were more technical in nature, focusing on personal projects I've worked on and problem solving. Showed some code and was quizzed on some programming logic. They mostly look for people with potential for this role, not necessarily current knowledge. They want someone who is passionate about what they do, and can learn fast.

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.
