Company Description
Shopify is now permanently remote and working towards a future that is digital by design. Learn more about what this can mean for you.
About Shopify
Shopify is innovating faster than any other commerce stack, from putting independence within reach for anyone with a dream to start a business to supporting the growth and transformation of enterprises. We work with entrepreneurs starting businesses and some of the world's biggest names and brands who are pushing the limits — and expect us to, too.
Millions of merchants in over 175 countries use Shopify. Every 28 seconds, an entrepreneur on Shopify makes their first sale. But the remaining opportunity is vast.
This is life-defining work that directly impacts people’s lives as much as it transforms your own. This is putting the power of the few in the hands of the many, is a future with more voices rather than fewer, and is creating more choices instead of an elite option.
About you:
Moving at our pace brings a lot of change, complexity, and ambiguity—and a little bit of chaos. Shopifolk thrive on that and are comfortable being uncomfortable. That means Shopify is not the right place for everyone.
Before you apply, consider if you can:
- Care deeply about what you do and about making commerce better for everyone
- Excel by seeking professional and personal hypergrowth
- Be resilient and resourceful in face of ambiguity and thrive on (rather than endure) change
- Bring critical thought and opinion — and embrace differences and disagreement to get shit done and move forward
- Work digital-first for your daily work
