For the past decade, we have been trusted by thousands and have worked hard to establish our reputation as the go-to e-commerce solution for growing brands and entrepreneurs.
It all started in 2009 in Victoria, Canada. It's not hard to find traces of our humble beginnings: the millions of Tumblr and WordPress sites, the legacy of early e-commerce themes, and the important work we did to empower creators and help the web's biggest platforms grow and be successful.
Today you can find us in a slightly larger HQ, with a much larger team scattered across a dozen or so cities—but the passion is the same. So is our commitment to helping brands and businesses succeed, whether they're first-time Shopify entrepreneurs, growing online retailers, or Fortune 500 companies.
In 2020, Pixel Union and
Out of the Sandbox joined forces to provide even better themes, apps, and services to help entrepreneurs build, launch, and grow their online stores.

"Working in Support, I enjoy the opportunity to problem solve and challenge myself by developing my technical skills and finding creative ways to help merchants. Since joining Pixel Union I have been able to grow my understanding of the Shopify platform and how our themes work within it. Working with merchants to identify solutions is rewarding and I enjoy the chance to find creative suggestions." - Gabe M

- In the second interview you meet some of the team. We’ll ask for a portfolio walk-through and go through a few questions we ask all candidates.
- Finally, there is a “technical” interview where we ask you to tackle a short, real-world exercise, and then talk through it together on a call. The emphasis is on hearing your thought process over the work itself.
