Shopify

Internal Security Developer

Shopify’s Internal Security team is looking for an experienced network security professional who believes our employees deserve to be as secure as our merchants. With a largely distributed workforce spanning the globe, we need to be able to retain our default to open culture while maintaining a robust security posture. That’s where you fit in. We need a keen, passionate, network administrator who wants to help us secure our internal networks, applications, and most importantly, our employees. This isn’t your average “managing Active Directory” network administrator position; at Shopify we rely on leveraging  current technologies to Get Shit Done At Scale (GSDAS)! You’ll be leveraging technologies from Apple, Amazon, Google, and the likes while you engineer and develop programs and policies to mitigate internal threat.

  • Mitigating insider threat through various means including creating processes and tools to assist in identifying data loss and insider mischief and auditing access to sensitive information
