We are not here to play zero-sum games. Shopify Engineering is focused on building the best product for our Merchants. You will enable entrepreneurship and create new value for the world. 

We’re looking for experienced and curious software engineers to help build the future of commerce. 

• Our engineering culture is deeply collaborative, truth-seeking, candid, and merchant obsessed

• Our success hinges on our ability to build and scale the platform that powers commerce for millions of merchants. And do it in a robust and performant way. 

We believe that a great engineer can apply and hone their craft across multiple domains. That’s why we hire generalists, give them opportunities to learn new technologies and tools, and provide support and mentorship along the way. 

Shopify engineers contribute to the entire commerce “stack.” Think: delivering merchant and buyer-facing applications, creating complex financial solutions, improving open source communities, building internal tools to improve developer experience, and more. 

If you care deeply about what you do, and you’re committed to the relentless pursuit of developing and mastering your craft, Shopify Engineering might be for you.
