• Improving Shopify's reliability and speed.
• Collaborating with other disciplines to help develop solutions for our merchants.Engaging with teams across Shopify to ensure all new features are built with our international markets in mind-focusing on building for the long term, in ways that benefit as many merchants as possible.

• Experience with one or more modern web stacks (transpilers, linters, build and CI tools, etc.)
• If some of this tech is new to you, that's ok! We know not everyone will come in fully familiar with this stack, and we provide support to learn on the job.
