Lead Business Technology, Talent Systems (Remote, Americas)

About Shopify
Opportunity is not evenly distributed. Shopify puts independence within reach for anyone with a dream to start a business. Since 2006, we’ve grown to over 10,000 employees and generated over $496 billion in sales for millions of merchants in 175 countries. Every 28 seconds, an entrepreneur on Shopify makes their first sale.
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 The Role
Shopify is moving to become more product-focused with our Talent Systems. This team is responsible for the next generation of autonomous talent; this is a system, that independently learns from internal / external data, that predicts how Shopifolk can meet principles and missions. Talent Systems powers our business, provides domain leadership for internal technology, and delivers technology to make Shopifolk more impactful and ensure operational excellence for internal systems.
