UX is Shopify’s killer feature. It’s the bridge between technology and people, and it’s through exceptional user experiences that Shopify makes commerce accessible and attainable to more and more entrepreneurs.

While entrepreneurship defines our mission, user experience defines our product. The key to our craft is delighting merchants by unlocking the right tools at the right time to drive their growth.

It takes courage to be an entrepreneur, so we fortify the foundations of endless possibility by building intuitive and elegant products and services that anyone can use. UX at Shopify embodies expert knowledge of industry, exhibits passion for how people interact with technology, and commands elite technological proficiency. We’re:

• In lockstep with Product and Engineering and make up one third of the trifecta that builds the best products merchants need.
• Systems thinkers. We apply that lens to design solutions and understand how the pieces fit into the larger picture.
• Beyond traditional design tools: we use Github + code, quantitative and qualitative research skills, and incorporate AI into our everyday (on top of Figma: our design tool of choice).

UX Designers at Shopify are versatile, curious, and care deeply — especially when it comes to details. Our range (from product strategy and business needs to domain expertise) uniquely positions us to achieve exceptional merchant and customer-centered product outcomes. We default to the most important work rather than adhering to a prescriptive role – and we hire the same way. We hire the best people and match expertise to the most exciting work.
