# Not everyone can do this
Shopify is a company of world-class crafters. We reject the status quo. We experiment, observe, and iterate — at high speeds with high rates of improvement — to make entrepreneurship a glorious thing.
Moving fast to Get Shit Done requires resilience to uncertainty. Growth isn’t just an opportunity here, it’s an expectation. If you prefer a prescriptive corporate structure and an in-person office environment, Shopify isn’t for you. If you’re an independent thinker with a hunger for challenge and craft mastery, welcome to the endless pursuit of what’s ahead.
Everyone here wants to be the world’s best at what they do. Some people who join us are already world-class: technical founders, innovators and patent holders, StarCraft champions. If this is you, hit skip the line for the fast track.

What we do
Life-defining work for you—and entrepreneurs
Opportunity is not evenly distributed. Shopify puts independence within reach for anyone with a dream to start a business. We propel entrepreneurs and enterprises to scale the heights of their potential.
Since 2006, we’ve grown to ~8,000 employees and generated over $1 trillion in sales for millions of merchants in 175 countries. The ripple effect of this is far-reaching.
Over the years, we’ve found that commerce can be a force for good, that entrepreneurs drive communities forward, and that small businesses are the backbone of economies. More than that, independent businesses enable incredible change. You vote with your dollars for the things—and changes—you want to see more of in the world.
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.
We’re arming the rebels. Who wouldn’t want to be part of that?

It's not where you sit, it's where you ship
Who we hire
Independent thinkers who seek growth
Shopify has a unique personality and it’s hard to work here if you’re not a great match. We want to ensure those who consider applying can thrive in our environment- from how we approach solving problems, to how we approach internal growth and the corporate ladder.
Accept our mission
Commerce is a powerful expression of free speech. We use it to cast a vote with every product we buy. You need to care deeply about your work towards our mission to make commerce better for everyone not just those you agree with.
Thrive on change
We’re building products for the long-term to make Shopify a forever company, and that requires an unrelenting pace (the week, not the quarter) and an ability to thrive in an unpredictable environment. You need to be resilient to navigate ambiguity.
Chase excellence
Joining our team means working with the most driven crafters who pursue mastery. But growth isn’t just an opportunity, it’s an expectation. With resources to help you, you’ll be pushing yourself out of your comfort zone.
