Don’t have experience with many of them? No problem — deep experience with any object-oriented language and willingness to learn our tech stack goes a long way. (Also: Check out our StackShare here.)\n* Curiosity and passion to constantly learn new things; Shopify changes fast, and we need the people who work here to be able to change and learn fast too\n* Experience with relational databases and SQL \n\n**Bonus Points**\n\nYou’ve mentored teammates on new ways to deepen their technical craft \n\nPlease mention the words **REMIND JUNIOR WET** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMy4xNDUuMTA2Ljg3).
