Senior Product Designer, Shopify Scripts

Job Description

Shopify has redefined commerce by raising the standard for how companies of all sizes sell their products and services. To help power 1,000,000+ merchants in more than 175 different countries, Shopify is always growing and finding new ways to create more value for commerce businesses around the world. At Shopify Plus, we’re powering some of the biggest and fastest-growing businesses in history. The problems we solve are as complex as the stakes are high. Ecobee, Fashion Nova, Rebecca Minkoff, Nestle, MVMT and Leesa are merchants that have seen the value Shopify Plus brings to their businesses through our understanding of commerce at scale. Helping merchants grow their business efficiently and flexibly is key. We do this by building products and platforms focused on business process automation and software integration. Shopify Scripts lets merchants run customized code in their checkout workflow, and has made a huge impact to date. Using what we’ve learned, we are taking Scripts from its current position as a Shopify Plus checkout app, to a platform-wide extensibility solution that can customize Shopify seamlessly and intuitively for all merchants. This Senior Product Designer will join the Scripts team and help us do just that.

Responsibilities:

• Advocate for the best user experience across our platform by representing our merchants and their developers in product strategy and roadmap discussions. You’ll start with the experience in mind, translating it back into needs for our technical design
• Shape our developer experience, choosing the right UX methods and tools to use - whether that’s code prototyping, wireframing, research, or otherwise
• Contribute to our growing design system of patterns in an effort to cultivate a cohesive look, feel, and user experience across the entire Shopify platform
• Share and review your work based on peer feedback, user research, testing, and merchant feedback

Requirements for the role:

• Experience owning and executing on UX designs through collaborative decision making with front-end developers, engineers, researchers, content strategists, and other disciplines
• A deep understanding of the end-to-end iterative UX process, including personas, scenarios, wireframing, content modelling, prototyping, user research, and design systems
• First-hand software development experience - you’ll need to be opinionated on how the developer- and user-experience must shape our technical decisions, and vice versa
• Empathy and advocacy for merchants, their buyers, and the developers who support them, in all areas of your work
• Extraordinary UI design abilities that can be demonstrated through current projects

We know that applying to a new role takes a lot of work and we truly value your time. We are looking forward to reading your application. If you’re interested in helping us shape the future of commerce around the world, send us a few samples of your work: portfolio, wireframes, UX flows, publications, or whatever represents what you do best. Closing date: Monday, October 19th at 9am EDT. 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.
