#LifeAtShopify
At Shopify, everyone gets to be themselves. You’ll be surrounded by people who care deeply about the work they do and are excited to share and collaborate. We are here to create amazing things together.
We’ll encourage you to experiment, take ownership, and pursue the things you care about. If you make a mistake? That’s ok – learn from it, and share your experience with the team.
