Also, if anyone has done the Shopify APM program before, I’d love to hear about your experience. What was the most challenging part? Did you enjoy it? Any advice for those of us hoping to get in?
Let’s use this thread to support each other and increase our chances of landing these awesome positions. Good luck to everyone applying!
I’ve been keeping an eye on the Shopify APM program for a while now, and it’s definitely a gem in the tech industry. From what I’ve gathered, they’re looking for candidates who can demonstrate strong analytical skills and a passion for e-commerce innovation.
One thing that really stood out to me during my research is how Shopify emphasizes the importance of understanding merchant needs. If you’re applying, I’d suggest diving deep into some of the challenges online businesses face today and brainstorming potential solutions.
The interview process can be quite comprehensive, covering everything from technical knowledge to product strategy. I’ve heard they sometimes include a take-home assignment, so be prepared for that possibility.
Remember, Shopify’s culture is all about entrepreneurship and continuous learning. Highlighting any side projects or initiatives you’ve taken on could really make your application shine. Good luck to everyone throwing their hat in the ring!

I’ve been through the Shopify APM program, and it’s truly a transformative experience. The most challenging aspect was adapting to the fast-paced environment and learning to make data-driven decisions quickly. However, the mentorship and exposure to various aspects of product management were invaluable.
My advice would be to showcase your problem-solving skills and ability to think strategically about product development. Familiarize yourself with Shopify’s ecosystem and be prepared to discuss how you’d approach improving existing features or introducing new ones.
The program is rigorous, but it’s an excellent launchpad for a career in product management. Best of luck to all applicants.
