Shopify will open its first Vancouver office

Shopify plans to open its first-ever Vancouver office before the end of the year. The office will be housed in a new four-floor, 6,500-square metre workspace at the Four Bentall Centre in downtown Vancouver. Its current Vancouver-based employees work remotely or at a WeWork space across the street from where their new office will be. The Vancouver office will focus on software development as well as expanding its R&D team. The office will help support around one million online customers globally. 

Shopify plans to hire 1,000 workers for this office, but that would happen over "a couple of years." The Ottawa-based e-commerce company is looking for backend developers, data engineers, mobile developers, product designers, product managers, and web developers.
