About Shopify
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.
About You
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.

- 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.
- Put AI agents and tools to work on the tasks they're built for, and focus on the work only humans can do.
- Embrace differences and disagreement to get shit done and move forward.
- Work digital-first for your daily work.
