Applied Machine Learning Engineers

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
• Embrace differences and disagreement to get shit done and move forward
• Work digital-first for your daily work

About The Role
Machine Learning Engineers at Shopify use extensive data to build products and create and fine-tune ML models. This has full-blown impact on merchants through first-of-their-kind financial tools, super-charged search and discovery, and novel conversion and ranking systems that connect merchants to buyers. (Phew.) There’s more: insights are shared back into Shopify and put directly into merchants’ hands in the form of highly reusable and interpretable code. This vastly improves the functionality of everything we do- making commerce smarter and more efficient for everyone.

Why you’ll love working at Shopify

• Solving complex problems at a serious scale. Dive into massive datasets (petabytes, not terabytes) and build and train models that impact millions of users worldwide.
• All-in on AI. Utilize GPU optimization, distributed clusters, and the latest ML frameworks to build groundbreaking solutions.
• Ethical by design. Machine learning can make commerce better — and runs the risk of making it worse, too. Carve out how models and algorithms embed in our product to truly support our mission.
