If you are American, do not interview with Shopify - lowest ROI in the industry. Apparently, they are a big deal in third-world Canada fraught with egregious unemployment and they interview with this in mind. It's a tedious loop of company lifers and failed devs. They seem anxious and risk-averse. Scrap it - re-evaluate your time - literally any mid American company is a better return on invested time (look at the salaries). I think the process was like 3-4 months - absolute mental illness for this caliber of company.

Root cause questions with some Shopify-specific product. Learn RCA frameworks.
Too many rounds of interviews. The last round is a case study interview which is not a great format for assessing if a candidate would do well in the role.

Question 1
They ask for your life story which I felt was a great way of learning about a candidate, their journey, and how it has shaped them to excel in the role they're applying for.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Shopify (De Zoom) in Mar 2025

Interview process was long - took about 2 months to get through to the final round. A long time between each interview! They give you lots of preparation materials, as well as exponent has a great prep guide.
