Software Engineers

This is not a job at Treehouse, do not email Treehouse to apply.

Code is core. Software engineers at Shopify craft the code that powers commerce. They build extendable products that scale the entire commerce stack, from creating the best buying experiences to developing innovative 0-1 financial products, and enhancing developer tools. They fail fast, reject the orthodox (unless ideal), and code solutions that enable merchants to succeed at the infinite game of entrepreneurship.

Why you'll love working at Shopify

• Biggest Rails app in the world. Love Rails? Us too. You get to see how Shopify handles the largest Rails app in the world --- and continuously make it better.

• Solve problems at a massive scale. Work on complex engineering problems, with full ownership, on products real people use every day.

• Ship at high speeds. Engineers collaborate cross-discipline on projects that ship weekly (not quarterly). They break things, iterate, and constantly pursue the green path of development.

• Meet our CEO in the code. You'll hear from our CEO, Tobi, regularly. He sets the direction, learns by coding, and is deeply passionate about the details.

Ready to craft your next masterpiece in code? Join the team that's making commerce better for everyone.

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
• Keep up with an unrelenting pace (the week, not the quarter)
• Be resilient and resourceful in face of ambiguity and thrive on (rather than endure) change
• Bring critical thought and opinion
• Embrace differences and disagreement to get shit done and move forward
• Work digital-first for your daily work

We hire people, not resumes. If you think you’re right for the role, apply now.

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 over 8,300 employees and generated over $1 trillion in sales for millions of merchants in 175 countries.

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.
