Curious if anyone with more context knows how to interpret that. The obvious one is that they didn't lay off and are still hiring like mad for engineering, but I don't know if that's the right read. Or they just haven't updated their job postings.
Or they actually have fewer engineering positions open than they used to even though it looks like a lot -- most of these positions actually maybe look like "tech lead" positions; it doesn't look like there are any/many standard/non-senior engineer positions open, and I think maybe there were a few weeks ago? Not sure.
- eddieroger 4y agoI have no knowledge of the situation and don't work for Shopify, but having worked corporate gigs my whole life, what probably happened is very few people knew this was coming, and that group excluded the part of HR that hires people. So the posting remain up while the news comes out, but the roles don't get filled and the postings eventually removed.
