      Software Engineer Interview

      2 Jan 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Calgary, AB
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Shopify (Calgary, AB) in Oct 2020

      Interview

      I've had one interview over the phone after being contacted. The interview was average and the interviewer pleasant and professional. Unfortunately, Shopify tells you that they will let you know one way or the other whether you are still under consideration or have been ruled out, yet instead they ghosted me (so far anyway). A couple years ago as well, I applied to an advertised position on their website, received an email claiming I would hear back either way, but there was no follow-up.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The initial interview questions for a developer are fairly typical, such as asking for descriptions of projects, challenges, and background.

      Hey, thanks for sharing your experience here. I can understand how it would be frustrating to be turned down for a role and to not have feedback in return. This is not something that happens often here - following up with a candidate after the interview is part of our interview process! I would encourage you to reach back out to the recruiter who interviewed you to inquire about gathering feedback. Alternatively, we could take this conversation to email so that we can inquire with our talent team for you. Be sure to send us an email including as many details as you can (ie/ your interview date and the name of your recruiter), then we can begin digging into it for you. You can send us an email using this link: (https://bit.ly/2ICKkCX). Adding 'Glassdoor' as the subject link of the email will ensure we can find your email faster. Thank you again for posting here, and for flagging this with our team.

      Software Engineer Interview

      1 May 2026
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Shopify

      Interview

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Design a webhook delivery system that retries on failure with exponential backoff. Cover idempotency, ordering guarantees, dead-letter queues, and how you'd handle a downstream consumer that's been offline for hours.

      Software Engineer Interview

      9 Nov 2025
      Anonymous employee
      Montreal, QC
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Shopify (Montreal, QC)

      Interview

      Interview process went quickly. The recruiter was very responsive and nice, and made the whole experience 10 times better. The interviewers did not ask impossible questions and focused more on the thought process than the correct answer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The first 2 interviews were LeetCode-like questions. Not directly from leetcode, but if you know your data structures you'll be good. 3rd interview I had to prep a design document and share it and they asked questions about the decisions that were made and the rationale behind it.
