Shopify | Developer | Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Waterloo | FULL-TIME ONSITE VISA| http://shopify.com

Shopify is a platform that allows entrepreneurs to easily setup an online store. Our products help merchants who are just starting as well as established brands that need a solution that can scale with their traffic.

We're always working on products that make it easier for entrepreneurs to reach their audience and help them make data driven decisions.

Shopify is built in Ruby on Rails running on a stack composed of Docker, Golang, Mysql and Redis. Our data infrastructure uses Kafka, HDFS, Zookeeper and we use PySpark and Sklearn for our data modeling and machine learning tasks. If you're interested in building tools that empower Entrepreneurs come take a look at who we are and what we're doing

Regardless of where you're applying this year I'd say make sure you focus your application on specific roles, highlight your work and personal projects (over academics) and don't treat interview results as a reflection of personal worth. Good luck with your job hunt !.

Hi,

I have pretty much applied for every application round I could. I am also willing to do an internship if that’s what it takes to get my foot through the door. I was wondering if you’d refer me. Thanks :)

Hey, I'm a Junior in a big name mid-west University doing lots of web-dev (mostly front-end) work, and I'd be grateful for a referral as well. You can connect with me at https://www.linkedin.com/in/sanchitdhiman/ Thanks!

I referred you, but just wanted to add that the reputation of your university doesn't matter. good luck.

Quick question, so I've applied online already + sent in bits of a portfolio, but was wondering if you would be comfortable referring me as well?

I image you get a lot of apps so if there's a possible way I can stand out a little more I'll take it if you don't mind:) This would be for a UX researcher role though.

Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2018) by quadrature on Wednesday January 03, 2018 @01:35PM (#16063656)
I can't do that once you've applied. Good luck with your job hunt!.
