Solutions Engineer - Shopify Logistics (Remote, Americas)
Shopify has redefined commerce, raising the standard for how companies of all sizes sell their products and services online and off. With a merchant count in the millions in more than 175 different countries and the most innovative platform on the market, we continue to grow rapidly while constantly looking for new ways to impact and disrupt markets.
Shopify Logistics is a dispersed network of fulfillment centres, powered by machine learning that predicts the closest fulfillment centre and optimizes inventory quantities to ensure fast low-cost delivery.
Large marketplaces have trained us to expect products delivered to our doorsteps within 1-2 days at no extra cost. As a result, millions of sellers on other marketplaces are falling behind, unable to cost-effectively deliver products to their customers. Our mission is to transform the $8- 12B fragmented and outdated logistics industry and build an intelligent, asset-lite network that enables any online seller to offer fast, affordable fulfillment.
As a Solutions Engineer, you are a crucial link between what Shopify Logistics offers and what our merchants are looking for. As we design and Shopify Logistics, we re taking into account the many intricacies that make our merchants unique and that s where you come in. Think kitting, SLAs, warehouse systems, APIs, branding, data and a whole lot more. It s your job to understand the big picture from the perspective of Shopify and then apply that to the individual needs of our merchants. It s a job that requires exceptional communication skills, a ton of empathy, a fair amount of technical knowledge and most of all, the strongest desire to help our merchants succeed.
It s a role that will have you talking to both internal teams within Shopify (pre and post sales) as well as the merchants we represent, in order to provide those merchants with an exceptional warehousing and fulfillment experience.
