Entrevista
First Skype interview was a very informal chat. We touched on my background and discussed my life choices. There was no questions on my past employment. Another Skype interview was scheduled for the "Gauntlet" which is a 3 hour test on your ability to find and explain information that is relevant to dealing with Merchants. This is a great test of your skills and gives you an insight into what the position involves. Finally there was another Skype interview just explaining how the process was going and offering me the position.

its a very long interview process. First you apply online, then it's a mock email, then phone interview then the gauntlet. They're super selective in their hiring, but its worth it in the end

I applied to Shopify in December 2017.
I applied online and had to build a trial store for the application, which was a little tedious but I was glad I took the time to do it. They've since changed their hiring process so it's no longer mandatory but optional (I highly recommend doing it, it will give you a feel for their platform). Within a couple weeks I had heard back from them and scheduled my "Life Story" call, which was strange at first but it was relaxed, it was more of a conversation than an interview. I was told at the beginning of the chat that I would know at the end of the 30 mins if I had made it on to the next step or not, luckily I did and I was on to the Gauntlet. I received an email shortly after to book the Gauntlet, I chose to book it for the following week - giving myself some time to study (I think this has also changed, they are trying to line it up to be right after your Life Story call).
The Gauntlet was 1 chat, 1 email and 1 phone call. Remember to breathe, and really listen to the "Merchant". Don't make assumptions, and try to be as natural as possible. After I finished the Gauntlet (which was 45 mins) I was told I'd hear back regardless within a few days, which I really appreciated. Who likes waiting around to know if they got the position or not?! At the end of day 2 I received an email saying I'd got it, SO exciting! The overall process did involve putting some time into it, but it was a great experience and you have to appreciate that they're trying to make sure you're a good fit. But it also allows you to see if you would like it as well.
My advice - if you get an invite to the Life Story, and this is a position you really want, start doing your research and digging deeper. Look through the help sections on their website, and the forums for commonly asked questions etc. Try to find those answers for yourself. They won't try to trick you, everything they ask is online somewhere. And if you haven't done so by this point, build a trial store. It will help you navigate and get a better handle on it.

First the application which generally building a shopify store, then the life story with a member of the recruiting team, then moved onto the Gauntlet which would "simulate" a day in the life of-or rather bits and pieces of all of the CS tasks.
