Software Backend Developer - PHP

About Shopify

Just over a decade ago we started an online store to sell snowboard equipment directly to those who loved the sport as much as us.

We could have listed our products on a number of marketplaces, but we wanted to own our brand and build relationships with our customers, along with selling our goods. Such a tool didn’t exist, so we built it for ourselves. We soon realized a number of other stores were in need of a hassle-free platform to build their retail business, and Shopify was born.

We focus on making commerce better for everyone, so businesses can focus on what they do best: building and selling their products. Today, merchants use our platform to manage every aspect of their business — from products to orders to customers, selling online, in retail stores, and on the go.

Position

The Oberlo App is powered by Shopify, which allows entrepreneurs to search and find products to sell online. It enables anyone to start a business without worrying about inventory. Over the last two years, we have helped thousands of entrepreneurs sell over 100 million products.

We’re looking for a dedicated, methodical, and versatile backend engineer with experience and passion for solving tough problems with scalable high performance code. We need someone who can quickly adapt to shifting approaches, situations, and priorities. You will need to be able to work in a team with fellow engineers to create a highly scalable, distributed web application that serves millions of requests a day.
