Dev Degree Intern

The role of a Dev Degree Intern at Shopify

About the role

What’s Dev Degree?

Shopify’s Dev Degree program combines a Computer Science degree with hands-on work experience. Our unique one-of-a-kind work-integrated learning model provides the skills and confidence to prepare you for a career in Software Engineering. Throughout your Dev Degree journey, our team will guide, evaluate, and provide you with actionable feedback to support your growth, and help you have an impact at Shopify!

What does a Dev Degree intern do?

In your first year, you’ll be working on the Developer Skills Training Path learning the tools, technologies, and methodologies that will prepare you to join an Engineering team at Shopify. At the same time, you’ll be attending one of our partner universities.

Depending on what partner university you attend, you’ll either join an Engineering team and experience building products at Shopify while continuing to study Computer Science after your first 4 months on the Developer Skills Training Path (York University), or after your first 8 months (Carleton University).

Questions about our program can be found on our FAQ page.

Dev Degree Program Qualifications

Dev Degree combines both working and learning. You do not need any previous experience in Computer Science or Software Engineering to apply! We’re looking for passionate, ambitious people who want to continuously grow and have an impact at Shopify. Below are experiences and skills that are important for success in Dev Degree:

• The ability to unblock yourself and problem solve. Successful Dev Degree interns ask for help when needed and do their best to first unblock themselves and find solutions to their problems.
• Curiosity and passion to constantly learn new things. Shopify changes fast, and we need the people who work here to be able to change and learn fast too.
• The skills and awareness to manage multiple priorities. Dev Degree interns balance Shopify, University, and their own needs throughout the program.
• An interest in Computer Science and Software Engineering. Dev Degree is a work-integrated learning program for those aspiring to have careers in Software Engineering.
• The desire to fail and learn. We believe that learning by doing is a great way to grow, even if that means facing failure. Those who can face failure and come back stronger will thrive in Dev Degree.

Additional Information

Dev Degree is a remote program. There may be opportunities to gather in person, but your work and learning at Shopify will be done remotely.

We know that applying for University programs can be both exciting and time-consuming, and we truly appreciate your effort. The Early Career Team is actual real live people (👋🏻) and are looking forward to learning more about you through your application.

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
• Use AI tools reflexively as part of your fundamental workflow
• Embrace differences and disagreement to get shit done and move forward
• Work digital-first for your daily work
