Does Shopify Hire Remotely?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 1:47 am

Shopify is a Canadian multinational e-commerce company headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario. It is also the name of its proprietary e-commerce platform for online stores and retail point-of-sale systems.

Shopify was founded in 2004 by Tobias Lütke, Daniel Weinand, and Scott Lake after attempting to open Snowdevil, an online store for snowboarding equipment. Shopify was released in 2006. Lütke is the CEO as of 2015.

In 2013, Shopify was named the Ottawa Citizen’s “Company of the Year”, and the Canadian Internet Registration Authority’s “Domain Name of the Year”. In 2015, Shopify ranked fifth on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list of North America’s fastest growing companies and second on the Ottawa Business Journal’s list of fastest growing companies.

PRO TIP: Although Shopify is a company that is known to hire remotely, there have been some complaints about the process and the quality of work that is received. There have also been issues with payments not being received on time, or at all. If you are considering applying to work with Shopify, be sure to do your research and be aware of the potential risks involved.

Shopify has been involved in several controversies. In 2013, it was criticized by members of Occupy Wall Street for allegedly encouraging gentrification in Brooklyn by allowing stores such as Brooklyn Brew Shop to open on North 7th Street.

In 2015, it was criticized again for allegedly “encouraging” stores to use misleading marketing practices such as promising free shipping while raising prices to make up for it. In February 2016, Shopify acquired Toronto-based Boltmade. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
