Shopify on Campus! End of Semester Event Lineup
It’s that time again! The Shopify Ambassadors will be hosting our final campus events at both the Carleton and UOttawa campuses in the upcoming weeks. With final projects and exams looming, you’ve probably reached the point where your wardrobe consists solely of sweatpants which you’re accessorizing with the bags under your eyes, but what better cure is there for the end-of-semester blues than an inspiring talk and free pizza? Worry not sweatpants wearers, there is no dress code for the events so we’re happy to receive you in all of your comfortably-attired glory.
First up, the Carleton Event: One of our awesome developers, Matt Helm, will be giving a talk about how we scale at Shopify and the engineering challenges we face as we experience rapid growth.
The Nitty Gritty When: November 26, 2015, 7:00pm – 9:00pm Where: Carleton University, 240 Tory Building
More details can be found by checking out the hashtag #ShopifyOnCampus, or on the Facebook event page.
Next up, the UOttawa Event: The UOttawa event will be an open hackathon. Over the course of three hours you can work on a preexisting project, or start something brand new. You can choose to collaborate with others, including some of the current Shopify interns, or you can work independently, up to you! You don’t need to finish the project by the end of the 3 hours, but we wanted to give you an outlet to bounce ideas off of each other and set aside some time to work on something you’ve been excited about for a while, but just haven’t had a chance to start yet. At Shopify, your projects are worth more than your resume, so we wanted to help you get going in the right direction. The ambassadors will be around to answer your questions and help you out if you get stuck.
The Nitty Gritty When: December 2, 2015, 7:00pm – 10:00pm Where: University of Ottawa, G0103 SITE Building
More details can be found by checking out the hashtag #ShopifyOnCampus, or on the Facebook event page.
Both events will allow time to chat and network with current Shopify interns and full-time devs while we drown our sorrows in pizza. You should come if you're interested in an internship in web development, app development, or working with data. Right now, we're wrapping up hiring for Winter internships, and will start Summer intern recruitment in December.
Everyone is welcome, no invite required :) When you arrive at the event, please sign in through this Google form so we can remember your name and grab your contact info. Looking forward to seeing you there!
