Engineering is Shopify’s DNA. Our engineers ship weekly, open-source obsessively, and use AI reflexively. The work already speaks for itself. Your job is to make sure the engineering world hears it—and cares.
We’re hiring an Editorial Lead, Engineering & Technical Content to own how Shopify’s technical work shows up in public: on our Engineering Blog, on @ShopifyEng, and across the technical communities we publish alongside. This role sits on Shopify’s Communications team, working in tight partnership with Engineering.
You’ll be at the intersection of technical writing, editorial leadership, and content production. You’ll make other people’s work better without erasing their voice, and you’ll step in and write when the story is too important to wait. You should be as comfortable reading a design doc as you are editing a longform blog post, and you should know what actually travels in technical circles: what gets upvoted, what gets bookmarked, and what gets ignored.
This role matters because every engineering surface—our blog, X, open-source circles, and partner platforms—is a vector for the same goal: showing the world that Shopify’s engineering is as ambitious as its mission.
