2020 was one of the biggest years in the history of e-commerce. In fact, the pandemic spurred such a growth in e-commerce that the industry as a whole moved forward about 10 years in 3 months’ time. Whether you’re interested in starting your own store or learning how to develop for e-commerce, this week on the podcast we’re breaking it all down for you.

Are you a developer looking for your next challenge? Meet Shopify. They’re on a mission to make commerce better for everyone, and they do things a bit differently. They don’t tell you how to solve problems, they give you the tools, trust, and autonomy to build new solutions. They don’t want you to work alone. They’re structured so you can leverage the diverse perspective across teams in everything you do. And they don’t pretend to have all the answers.
They’re big enough for you to tackle problems at-scale but small enough for you to discover and solve new problems. If you’re a builder at heart who wants to solve highly technical problems, and you want to take all your life experiences and apply them to a blank canvas, or if you want to access really powerful tools, Shopify is the place for you.
