Shopify Careers

# 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 the world’s best at something: gold-medalist, chess grandmaster, Michelin-star chef. If this is you, hit VIP access at the top to convert your skills into high-performance Shopify roles.

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?

Where we hire

Built around a mission, not a headquarters

Office centricity is over. We are digital-first. That means you do your daily work wherever you work best, remotely. Most of us then gather in real-time several times a year to connect, solve hard problems, and align as a team. We call this way of working Digital by Design, or DxD.

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.
