AI in interviews
No official policy. Hello Interview reports that the coding and pair-programming rounds let you bring your own IDE and AI tools, judged on how you direct the AI and explain or clean up its output. Confirm with your recruiter.
Typical interview loop
How Shopify usually runs it for applied AI and LLM engineer roles.
- Focus: Background, fit
Initial call
An optional 15-30 minute conversation with a recruiter or hiring manager.
- Focus: Directing AI, design, testing
Craft assessment: AI-enabled pair programming
A 60-75 minute build-from-scratch session in your own IDE with AI tools, plus a short predictive assessment; candidates report a second AI round in the full loop.
- Focus: Decisions, self-awareness
Life Story
A 30-60 minute two-way conversation with a recruiter about the problems, decisions and lessons in your career so far.
- Focus: Project depth, trade-offs
Technical deep dive
Walk engineers through one or two past projects: architecture, trade-offs, impact and lessons.
