About The Role

At Shopify, our Engineers build the tools that enable people around the world to become merchants. Our Engineers are mission focused builders, who tinker and innovate daily. They leverage AI to move faster and remove barriers. They work fast, shipping weekly, iterating constantly, all while thriving in an ambiguous, chaotic environment that encourages them to make autonomous decisions.

Our Recruiters are no different. Our Talent Acquisition team is full of highly technical crafters who make real human connections with the best talent on the globe. They protect Shopify’s mission by being the gatekeepers who ensure only Shopify-shaped people join our team.

We’re looking for Recruiters of all levels right now to join the team, specifically within Engineering. You must come to the role with previous experience recruiting top engineering talent from sourcing to closing.

You’ll work within both pipeline and specialized hiring, managing the full cycle, from intake, to sourcing, all the way through to closing. You’ll hold our high bar and have a voice in hiring decisions. If candidates don’t meet your bar, they don’t meet Shopify’s bar.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with hiring leaders. You’ll influence role requirements and develop recruiting plans aligned with Shopify’s goals.
  • Manage the complete recruitment lifecycle. This includes intake, sourcing, screening, interviewing, determining hiring criteria, coordination, recaps, offers, and closing for both pipeline and specialized hiring.
  • Implement the unobvious but correct sourcing strategies. Your efforts will result in the very best Engineers coming to Shopify. You’re a spearfisher who takes the time to find the hidden talent
  • Conduct thoughtful interviews. At Shopify, Recruiters own the Life Story interview, where you dig deep into career stories to determine fit for Shopify.
  • Represent Shopify. You’ll deliver exceptional candidate experiences
  • Be data informed, not driven. You’ll leverage historical data and research but you’re also thinking unconventionally
  • Always be innovating. Whether it’s experimenting with sourcing strategies, iterating on your interview techniques, or improving our workflows, you’re never sitting in the status quo

Qualifications

  • Experience recruiting Engineers. You understand this craft, what makes them tick, and how to spot rare talent
  • Experience owning the full cycle. We’re not just top of funnel or closers at Shopify. You need to have experience owning the full cycle.
  • Genuine curiosity is a must. You ask thoughtful questions that unearth meaningful talent signals
  • Autonomous self starter. No one is holding your hand at Shopify. We collaborate and share ideas, but we’re not looking for followers.
  • You’re deep in the weeds with AI. You're not a bystander, you’re already building and sharing back tools that are making your craft better

About Shopify

Opportunity is not evenly distributed. Shopify puts independence within reach for anyone with a dream to start a business. We propel entrepreneurs and enterprises to scale the heights of their potential. Since 2006, we’ve grown to over 8,300 employees and generated over $1 trillion 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 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
  • Put AI agents and tools to work on the tasks they're built for, and focus on the work only humans can do
  • Embrace differences and disagreement to get shit done and move forward
  • Work digital-first for your daily work

We may use AI-enabled tools to screen, select, and assess applications. All AI outputs are reviewed and validated by our recruitment team.
