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
• Embrace differences and disagreement to get shit done and move forward
• Work digital-first for your daily work
About the role
About The Program
Our Engineering Internships are open to current university students, recent grads, self-taught learners, and career changers.
Our Engineering Internships are 4 month long, full-time, paid experiences. For our Fall 2024 cohort, we are looking for students that can join us from September 3rd - December 20th, 2024. You must be able to commute to the Shopify Toronto office (620 King Street West). Interns will work primarily from Shopify's Toronto office located at 620 King Street West, while still having the opportunity to work remotely on certain days.
Please note: if you do not currently live in the Greater Toronto Area, you must be willing to relocate for in-office experiences. Shopify is a digital-first company, but we're eager to welcome interns in-person to our office to maximize impact and learning opportunities.
If successful in your application to the Engineering Internships Program, we will match you to a team when you start at Shopify.

What you’ll do as a Shopify Engineering Intern:
We’re looking for Software Developers with a passion for solving tough problems with performant code. Shopify is a big part of the Rails community, and we’re constantly improving our codebase to make it even better. We prioritize quality code and time-boxed building. Our teams deploy new code multiple times a day and support a massive ecosystem (we're talking millions of online stores).
