Software Engineer, Talent Systems Engineering (Remote)

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 $496 billion in sales for millions of merchants in 175 countries.
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 The Role
The Talent Systems Engineering development team is looking to add a Software Engineer to their team as they continue to build out world class talent systems here at Shopify. Head over to the Shopify’s Engineering blog to learn more about one of their ongoing, industry-first builds that has fundamentally changed what’s possible in employee compensation and rewards management.
Software Engineers at Shopify are passionate about solving tough problems. In this role you can expect to experiment, iterate, and ship new code many times a day. Shopify is the largest Ruby on Rails application in the world and we're a big part of the Rails community, so you can expect to see it leveraged with the Talent Acceleration team, along alongside various modern enterprise production scale technologies like Kafka, React, Rest APIs, MySQL, K8s, etc.
As a Software Engineer at Shopify you can expect to:

• Collaborate with other engineers, data scientists, designers, product managers, etc.
• Fix bugs fast while taking your time to solve hard problems well
• Create fast, beautiful code that improves our code base in meaningful ways
• Use test-driven development to write well-tested code

Build and maintain Shopify’s critical infrastructure through software and systems engineering.
Qualifications

• Have the ability to push through ambiguity, work through roadblocks, and thrive on changes, finding ways to leverage their experience and subject matter experts around them to ship quality work.
• Experience using technologies and frameworks like (but not limited to) some of our most-used languages — Ruby on Rails, Rest/GraphQL, Python, React, Kubernetes, etc. Don’t have experience with many of them? No problem — deep experience with any object-oriented language and willingness to learn our tech stack goes a long way.
• Successful engineering candidates typically bring at least 3-4+ years of professional software development experience; passionate about elevating their craft and the team around them.
• Taking ownership of up and down stream inputs, and driving toward successful outcomes for the immediate team as well as collaborating cross functional teams.
• Bonus: You’re co-founder minded - never shying away from a challenge, take pride in your work and have a habit of writing about and sharing your work with others.
• Curiosity and passion to constantly learn new things; Shopify changes fast, and we need the people who work here to be able to change and learn fast too.

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 people, racialized people, people with disabilities, people from gender and sexually diverse communities and/or people with intersectional identities.
