Senior Product Designer, Technology Systems (Remote, Americas)

About Shopify

Opportunity is not evenly distributed. Shopify puts independence within reach for anyone with a dream to start a business. Since 2006, we’ve grown to over 10,000 employees and generated over $500 billion in sales for millions of merchants in 175 countries. Every 28 seconds, an entrepreneur on Shopify makes their first sale.

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

As a Senior UX Designer, you will have the opportunity to own the direction of a critical internal tool, ensuring that it is usable, enjoyable, performant, and accessible for users. You will be an integral part of our design team, working alongside talented individuals who are responsible for building the tools that keep Shopify running smoothly.

At our company, we believe that our work is not zero-sum. Our product enables entrepreneurship to create new value for the world and unlocks unlimited personal growth for the people who build it. We operate on low process and high trust, prioritizing impact over a prescriptive corporate structure. If you thrive on change and can solve complex problems, you've found the right place.

To succeed in this role, you must care deeply about what you're doing and commit to continuously developing your craft. We expect constant learning and discomfort as we push ourselves out of our comfort zones to drive growth. We are building products for the long-term, aiming to make Shopify a 100-year company. This requires resilience to navigate ambiguity and a willingness to thrive on change rather than just endure it.

Join our team of driven crafters who pursue mastery. We value independent thinkers who seek growth and are able to see the bigger picture, even if it means leaving personal beliefs outside the room. At Shopify, we are dedicated to making commerce better for everyone, which includes serving and supporting those with differing opinions. If you're ready to thrive in an environment of constant change and chaos, where getting shit done is the norm, then we want you on our team.

All applicants must submit samples of design work to be considered. 

• Evolve and extend craft best practices, including design systems, patterns, and processes.
• Influence the impact and quality of work from peers, ensuring high standards are maintained.
• Lead and drive the vision of complex, cross-team projects, tackling ambitious problems with unclear solutions.
• Collaborate with other disciplines to address critical issues and ensure alignment.
• Contribute to prioritization and estimation of work, making strategic decisions to enable cross-functional teamwork.
• Own a series of related features or a full workflow, taking responsibility for delivering exceptional products that meet performance, value, and user experience goals.

 Our belief is that a strong commitment to diversity & inclusion enables us to truly make commerce better for everyone. We encourage applications from Indigenous peoples, racialized people, people with disabilities, people from gender and sexually diverse communities, and/or people with intersectional identities.
