Shopify HQ is in Ottawa w/ about 240 people. Shopify's Toronto team (about 15 people) will be moving into Jet Cooper's office. This will grow Shopify Toronto to ~40 people.

Do you happen to know if Shopify is currently looking for interns/part-time employees? (I'm a high school student in Toronto)
They're always looking for skilled developers and aren't too picky about age as long as you've got chops. They tend to be receptive to unconventional job applications.
Yes. Drop me a line at david.underwood@shopify.com
Speaking as Shopify's only high school student intern: yes, if you have talent.
Oh so it was just a real-estate transaction :)
Not at all. Jet Cooper is ~30 (incredibly talented) people. It's a talent acquisition. They're basically buying a larger Toronto presence via acquisition. Smart move, especially going for JC.
