Design
Design the Future of Commerce
Shopify’s mission is to make commerce better for everyone. We wake up every day focused on ways to inspire, enable, and support entrepreneurs. We are transforming how millions of unique brands start, run, and grow their businesses - and we are just getting started.
Design has always been essential to this mission. It is our DNA—defining how we build products, solve problems, grow the company, empower our merchants, and engage their buyers.
Who we're looking for
We are always looking for tasteful designers who move fast, sweat details, are technically fluent, and love to tinker. Entrepreneurial energy drives our mission and our internal culture. We want designers that are prolific and prefer less process and more freedom to build. We want designers that break boundaries between product and brand, art and technology, imagery and words. We are a fully remote company so we need people that speak up, share openly, and are proactive in creating connections. Most importantly we want people that are courageous and curious - in their work, in their giving and sharing feedback, and in their appetite to embrace the new, the difficult and the unknown.
AI? Ok, let’s talk about it.
Yes, AI is changing everything. And yes, we're all in.
We are embracing AI in our tools, workflows and philosophies because we believe technology will always create opportunities for those sufficiently courageous to claim it. We want people committed to the tools of tomorrow, because true innovation happens when craft excellence meets technological audacity. We are confident that in a world where AI can help produce almost anything, designers that can master and wield these tools with incredible taste and judgement are even more necessary than ever.

This is where you come in
Here’s what we expect from designers at Shopify:
You are an opinionated tastemaker
You are a connoisseur of software design and digital culture and can confidently push its boundaries.
You are a master of your craft
You wield rock-solid design fundamentals and have an obsession for detail and a deep appreciation for craft.
You’re a hands-on builder, coach and student
You revel in making things, trying things, sharing things and taking ownership of your own development.
You are driven
You thrive in and help create an uptempo environment, generating a lot of ideas, showing your work often, shipping fast, and always pushing to get your project to the next step. You raise the energy on teams around you, and elevate your teammates by showing them what is possible.
You embrace new tools
You grab hold of every new tool as soon as you can, and fearlessly push the edges of what is possible.
You are technically fluent
You’re comfortable working close to the code, proactively collaborate with engineers, and are comfortable prototyping your work directly.
Most importantly, you care
Good design work comes from craft excellence, and we certainly expect that of you. But great design work comes from care. You care deeply about our mission, our merchants, and the world we want to serve. A spirit of care is what comes through is our unreasonable attention to every detail, every word, every millisecond of performance, every support interaction. It is care that animates our brand. If care and working on something meaningful is what drives you to strive and wield your skills and tools expertly…then Shopify might be for you.
