Shopify has focused the last decade on solving complex problems for
entrepreneurs by making commerce seamless and accessible. Now, we
want to do the same for customers through Shop.
Shop is on a mission to change how we shop. From the fastest
checkout experience in Shop Pay to all-in-one order tracking and
easy ways to find and shop local brands in app, Shop is making
shopping better one step at a time for both shoppers and the
merchants they buy from. Having launched less than a year ago, Shop
is already one of the top 5 apps in North America and we're just
getting started.
We're looking for a Tech Lead Software Engineer to join our team as
we turn Shop into one of the most beloved products and brands in
the world. We want shoppers to be able to develop meaningful
connections with the brands they love, and we believe that Shop is
the answer to helping foster those relationships with the
powerhouse of Shopify merchants we love and support.
Job Description
At Shop, Tech Lead Engineers (also referred to as Staff Engineers)
use their expertise and passion to multiply the overall output of
their development team. As a technical leader, you'll help drive
your team's vision to its implementation.You and the team will
design and build technically innovative solutions that empower all
teams at Shop to build great products for buyers and sellers. You
will build highly scalable, performant, and reliable products that
benefit directly from the work you do. You will maintain a high bar
for quality and lead and mentor other engineers. And of course,
you'll be hands-on in the code and contribute technically.
Intrigued? We're recruiting Lead Software Engineers to join teams
in any one of these disciplines. Based on your experience and
interests, let us know which one you identify with most in your
application!------
Back End Development
On the Back End development side, we're looking for engineers with
a passion for solving tough problems with performant code to power
Shop and Shopify APIs and data processing pipelines. Our teams
deploy new code many times a day across Shop and Shopify backend
systems, we are mindful of the impact our code has on performance,
and our production scale is large. With billions of requests a day,
we're serving many millions of buyers and millions of sellers who
will see your work within seconds - an important and incredibly
rewarding responsibility. While Shop has its own services, we have
plenty of interactions and integrations with the Shopify core
codebases. There is no red tape and we leverage this fact whenever
it supports our goal of building high quality products faster.
Shopify is the largest Ruby on Rails application in the world and
we're a big part of the Rails community.
Mobile Development (React Native, Android & iOS)
On the Mobile development side, we're looking for engineers with a
passion for shipping performant, high-quality mobile consumer
experiences. The Shop app is built using React Native for which we
have developed sophisticated tooling and development pipelines that
allow us to more easily build and maintain high-quality features at
speed. We leverage seamless over-the-air updates to distribute
internal testing of work-in-progress pull requests to thousands of
staff users and ship production versions with
server-side-controlled feature flags and end-user performance
monitoring. This allows us to move at a fast pace with feedback
loops and iterations in the collaboration between our development
teams and the design and product management teams. These features
combined with our many millions of daily users give opportunities
to do early-stage testing and quickly learn how our technology and
products perform and if we are bringing value to our users.
Front End Development
On the Front End development, we're looking for engineers who
appreciate the blurred line between web and mobile development.
We've come a long way at reducing the distinction between web and
mobile development and will continue to leverage the best of these
two disciplines to make development across both areas easier and
more impactful. As a frontend engineer, you'll work with web and
mobile products in close collaboration with other software
development teams, designers, product managers, and marketers to
not only build incredible web products and marketing campaigns but
also shipping those features in our mobile products. Besides Ruby
on Rails for some web projects we use the latest web standards in
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and modern technologies and frameworks
like Typescript, React, GraphQL, Apollo, to develop great web and
mobile applications that scale and perform well on all devices. We
have well-established onboarding and growth programs to help
engineers bridge the gap between web and mobile development. In
fact, many of our mobile engineers come from a web development
background and are now some of the most important contributors to
the mobile products our users love and use daily.
