About this role
Shopify
At Shopify, data isn't just numbers—it's the voice of our merchants, buyers, and developers. Listening to this voice is key to revolutionizing commerce for everyone.
Data science sits at the heart of Shopify's mission—not on the sidelines. Unlike traditional analytics roles, you'll directly influence product roadmaps and business strategy. Your recommendations will reach billions of buyers across the globe as merchants put your work into action every day. Each insight you uncover doesn't just support our mission—it drives it forward in ways that change what's possible for entrepreneurs.
Product Data Science Managers go big on details that drive product decisions. This is not a supporting role for the product. They know the minutiae really matters and turn 1st-party and 3rd-party data into insights that directly influences product development. But not alone. Leading a team of product data scientists is about balancing deep craft work to unearth problems and propose fast-paced solutions.

About the discipline
Engineering. It’s our DNA.
Engineering isn't a department at Shopify. It's our DNA. The engineers who thrive here care about the code, the system, and the merchants relying on both. They want hard problems and uncomfortable growth. They find solutions without waiting for permission. They ship weekly. They want commerce to work better for everyone. So does our founder, Tobi, who still codes and still shapes where this thing is going.
They're open source nerds. They pair program because two brains write better code than one. New tools, new models, new approaches. They experiment constantly. Most of what's standard here started as someone hacking on something.
They use AI like a keyboard, reflexively and everywhere, to clear the mundane and make room for thinking. And they work in the open. The fastest way to learn here is to watch someone better than you do the work. If that sounds like you, come build with us.
Infrastructure engineering
Infrastructure Engineers at Shopify build and maintain the systems that handle millions of requests per second and billions of dollars in transactions. At that scale, performance gains matter and weak assumptions surface quickly. Your systems power the experience for millions of entrepreneurs and buyers every minute of every day, including peak events like Black Friday.
Engineers at Shopify spend the majority of their time actually writing code to build and improve infrastructure. You’ll solve problems that don’t exist anywhere else, with challenges that push what’s possible. If that lights you up, come build with us.
Growth and rewards
Mastery-matched compensation.
~Mastery
At Shopify, getting better at your craft and increasing your impact is how you grow. Twice a year, we assess both in our ~Mastery cycle, Shopify’s performance review. Achieving higher ~Mastery is a promotion, and when you earn a promotion your total rewards grow with it. Crafter and manager are equal paths, so you can pursue excellence in the craft you’re best at.

With Flex Comp, your Rewards Wallet gives you agency over your compensation mix. Adjust your mix of cash, restricted share units, and stock options (including programs like Long-Term Equity)* to where it makes sense for you, and mix it up anytime as life and priorities change.
