Job Description

The surface area that ML/AI can be applied to at Shopify is vast. We have MLEs embedded across many different product and service lines, focussed on delivering enhancements and solving problems. Our infrastructure is vital for rolling out machine learning models because it ensures scalability, performance, availability, reliability, security, and efficient management of the models' lifecycle.

This role would involve supporting priority projects by providing ML infra and engineering expertise to the teams building these models. This helps unlock the full potential of our machine learning initiatives so that we can deliver impactful solutions to our merchants and their customers.

If you thrive on change and are constantly seeking growth and higher mastery, then this is the right place for you. At Shopify, we operate on low process and high trust, and we're not afraid to step out of our comfort zones to push the boundaries of what's possible. So if you're ready to join our team of driven crafters bringing the transformative power of AI to commerce, then we want to hear from you.

If any of the above areas appeal, we’d love to hear from you.
