Our department builds a platform that allows Shopify to scale massively, while also delivering resilient systems, amazing performance, and impactful tools for our entire engineering team.

We’re looking for a senior product designer to join our team and shape the future of Shopify’s developer tools and infrastructure.

  • The ability to clearly present your point of view, express ideas, and accept feedback
  • Proficiency with current design and prototyping tools such as Figma, Sketch, Invision, etc.

Things you’ll be working on:

  • Helping to define our product roadmap by understanding and advocating for the needs of our users
