IN THE AI ERA, SHOPIFY IS INVESTING IN JUNIOR ENGINEERS—NOT CUTTING THEM

Last year, Shopify grew its internship program from roughly 100 interns per year to over 1,000. The company plans to continue the program this year and hire another 1,000 interns. Shopify hires interns to keep the company thinking with fresh eyes and to make sure there are always people questioning the way things are done. The new generation of interns will have grown up with AI - the company wants these types of people to reimagine what it looks like to build with AI.
