  Company Description

  About Shopify

  Opportunity is not evenly distributed. Shopify puts independence within reach for anyone with a dream to start a business. Since 2006, we’ve grown to over 10,000 employees and generated over $500 billion in sales for millions of merchants in 175 countries. Every 28 seconds, an entrepreneur on Shopify makes their first sale.

  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 — and embrace differences and disagreement to get shit done and move forward
  • Work digital-first for your daily work

  Responsibilities:

  • Own the creation and delivery of learning experiences for the Dev Degree students.
  • Maintaining close relationships with developers to understand the technologies, tools and techniques used at Shopify.
  • Developing a solid understanding of the talent needs of our dev teams, and gathering strategic data to identify any gaps in the academic or training sides of the program to ensure those needs are met.

  Qualifications

  • Professional software development experience
  • Hands-on teaching or facilitation experience in a technical field
  • Experience building and/or passion for educational programs
  • Strong foundation in the core knowledge areas of computer science
  • Good spoken and written communication skills
