Candidatei-me online. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Shopify.
Entrevista
Quite relaxed timeline
The first one was a really each tech question - they just want to see whether you can code.
The next round was the famous (I would call it infamous) "Life story" round
I might be salty as I didn't get in - but yeah, clearing the life story is like flipping the coin.
You need to have an emotional story and have a frequency match with the interviewer.
They do not even provide a feedback as to what went wrong.

Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 3 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Shopify em abr. de 2026
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
