Shopify is in hyper-growth, building the tools and experiences for some of the biggest brands in the world, and our Technology Services team is front and centre in making that happen. This is where you come in…

As a Merchant Solution Engineer, you will engage with merchants to plan and complete engagements focused around both platform usage and the merchant's overall business needs to drive growth. You will engage directly with our merchants and their technical teams to have solutions-focused discussions around the Shopify platform. You will consult on their ecommerce technology stack and business objectives, and provide guidance on how to best leverage the Shopify platform and ecosystem. You will also advise on best practices around complex integrations and provide solutions to set them up for long-term success on our platform.

Merchant Solutions Engineers are Shopify advocates and represent the Shopify brand, values, and product, the role includes merchant-facing activities, including remote and on-site engagements with merchants and supporting community events. You'll be partnering with large Shopify Plus merchants across the Asia Pacific (APAC) region and be a key source of insight to provide feedback to Shopify's Product, Engineering and User Experience teams.
