frontend_fran (Primly starter)
Went through my notes since I collect frontend loops on here. Shopify senior frontend usually runs four stages: recruiter screen, then the Life Story interview, then a pairing round, then frontend system design, with a values conversation somewhere in the mix.
The Life Story one is the part people underestimate. It is not small talk, it is a long walk through your whole path: what you chose, why, what you would do differently. One of the reports on this channel has the prompt word for word: "Walk me through your life and career, what shaped you." Prepare it like a story with decisions and turning points, not a resume recital.
Pairing is practical, not leetcode. Expect to build something real in React or plain JS: fetch data, manage state, handle the edge cases, and talk while you work. How you collaborate counts at least as much as whether you finish.
For the system design round there is a good breakdown in this channel from someone who did the senior loop in Q2: Shopify senior system design, what to expect. Think component architecture, state, performance tradeoffs and rendering strategy, not distributed systems.
The values interview thread is worth a skim too, it is new grad focused but the interview itself is the same shape.
If you have the actual posting, the prep tool on here will generate behavioral questions against it, the first one is free. Good luck, and report back after the loop, this channel always needs fresh data points.
