How to Apply

So of course we want to see your resume, a cover letter, and links to any social accounts you manage. But, since we like to do things a little differently at Shopify, we would also like you to...

Share your best ideas for two memes you would turn in to Shopify tweets-what memes would you pick, and what tweet copy would you write to capture Shopify's world view, values, and mission in a fun way? We're looking to see how well you capture our Twitter voice in this exercise, so be sure to spend some time on our account .

Hypothetical: Shopify is about to announce "Shopify Capital" a new small business funding and loans program to help small businesses scale. Write a tweet announcing this new feature with the goal of getting the news out to both existing Shopify merchants and prospect merchants.

At Shopify, we are committed to building and fostering an environment where our employees feel included, valued, and heard. Our belief is that a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion enables us to truly make commerce better for everyone. We strongly encourage applications from Indigenous peoples, racialized people, people with disabilities, people from gender and sexually diverse communities and/or people with intersectional identities.

We know that applying to a new role takes a lot of work and we truly value your time. We are looking forward to reading your application.
