Questions

Background Job Processing

The technical challenge centered around processing background jobs, handling retries, and implementing exponential backoff.

Scaling and Monitoring Logic

Implemented the core logic and talked through how I’d scale it, handle persistence, and monitor failures in production.

Did a Shopify SWE intern interview and found the format so exhausting. The technical challenge centered around processing background jobs, handling retries, and implementing exponential backoff. The problem focused heavily on async behavior, failure scenarios, and real-world backend concerns rather than classic algorithms. The interviewer rarely interrupted, letting me explain everything end-to-end. While that sounds nice, it became mentally draining over time because I had no signal on whether I was overengineering or missing expectations.
