About the role

Data Platform Engineers build and support the infrastructure that enables our Data Engineers and Scientists to thrive. At every stage of the data lifecycle, from ingestion and transformation to data discovery and reporting, we build infrastructure and tools that are on the cutting edge of data.

Why you’ll love building Shopify’s data platform:

• We’ve got a whole lot of data. Every problem we work on has to consider scale from the start.
• We stand on firm foundations. We solve the high rung problems that take mature infrastructure for granted - our data platform is built on top of mature offerings from Google Cloud Platform. We’re especially interested in candidates who have experience working with GCP services.
• We focus on incremental progress and impact. Even though we build big, we ship incrementally. Your work won’t sit months waiting to get in the hands of our users.
• There’s lots of opportunity for that impact. We’ve spent the last year migrating away from a nearly decade old legacy system. We’ve tackled the core use cases and now we’re at an inflection point, with a solid foundation and clear places where we can make life better for our users.

Ready to build the backbone of Shopify? Join the team that's making commerce better for everyone.

At Shopify, we pride ourselves on moving quickly—not just in shipping, but in our hiring process as well. If you're ready to apply, please be prepared to interview with us within the week. Our goal is to complete the entire interview loop within 30 days. You will be expected to complete a live pair programming session, come prepared with your own IDE.

This role may require on-call work

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.

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
• 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

We may use AI-enabled tools to screen, select, and assess applications. All AI outputs are reviewed and validated by our recruitment team.
