Support is responsive

Live chat got me unblocked at 11pm on a Saturday. Not always the case for SaaS at this price point.

Transaction fees stack up at scale

Once we crossed ~$30k MRR, the 2% Shopify Payments fee plus app subscriptions started really biting. Migrated to Shopify Plus eventually.

Best entry-point for first-time merchants

Set up a store in two days. Themes look polished out of the box. The app marketplace solves most edge cases.

Remote-first works here

I've been fully remote since day one across three roles. Async docs, written decisions, no surprise 'come back to the office' announcements yet.

Layoffs left a mark

After the 2023 reductions some teams never fully recovered. Surviving people doubled up on workloads. New leadership cohort is rebuilding but it'll take time.

Best merchant-facing PM work I've done

Talking to real shop owners daily and seeing the impact of a feature on their business is rewarding. Lots of trust to run experiments.

Strong engineering culture, slower than it used to be

When I joined four years ago we shipped weekly. Now releases involve more coordination across teams. Still ship fast by industry standards, but the small-company feel is gone.

Lots of autonomy if you can stomach the changes

ICs get real decision-making latitude. The downside is the company restructures itself roughly every 18 months — your priorities can shift overnight. I've enjoyed the work, but if you crave stability this isn't it.

Demo — reorgs slow decisions

Demo content. Recent organizational changes are frequently cited as a source of friction.
