Shopify’s Brand Design Studio is a multidisciplinary team of visual designers, writers, video creatives, front-end developers and motion designers. We create and build experiences that communicate the value of Shopify’s commerce products and platform - and the potential they enable. Our canvases include shopify.com and other web properties, paid media across digital, audio, and TV; experiential; and other expressions of Shopify’s brand.

In both streams, you will be supported by a dedicated mentor, a working community of peers, and a comprehensive learning program. You’ll work alongside some of the best designers in the industry that will have a real impact on our merchants. Shopify’s Design Apprentice role is a paid 6-month position designed to develop early Design talent into future Product and Brand Design leaders.

About Shopify

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
Put AI agents and tools to work on the tasks they're built for, and focus on the work only humans can do
Embrace differences and disagreement to get shit done and move forward
Work digital-first for your daily work
