# 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 world-class: technical founders, innovators and patent holders, StarCraft champions. If this is you, hit skip the line for the fast track.

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.
Where we hire
It's not where you sit, it's where you ship
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.
Find your Quest
Job Postings? How quaint.
We get why other companies want you to apply to a specific job — it's their org chart. Makes sense, for them. Shopify? We default to the most important work rather than adhering to prescriptive roles – and we hire the same way. We hire the best people and match their expertise to our most exciting work.
Where do you see yourself?
Follow your craft. Apply to work for Shopify and we’ll find your first role during the interview process. Or, search the type of roles we hire for and into.
What do you want to work on?
Share your preference on what you’d like to work on during the interview process — if you join Shopify, we’ll match you to a team where we know you’ll have impact.
