Principal engineer – Shopify Ecosystem

Cloudinary is the Image and Video API platform trusted by millions of developers and over 10,000 companies worldwide. Our powerful tools fuel websites to be faster, richer in user engagement, and breakthrough creativity. With a growing suite of products that support everything from developer efficiency to brand storytelling, Cloudinary is becoming the visual layer of the web. Cloudinary has a globally distributed team across North America, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific, united by a shared commitment to building smart, scalable technology and a culture rooted in humility, curiosity, and collaboration. At Cloudinary, we celebrate Life & Work. We believe in healthy growth, working with purpose, and creating meaningful value. If you’re looking for a place where your voice matters and your work truly makes an impact, this may be the opportunity for you. We’re hiring a customer and partner-facing technical leader to own the tech side of Cloudinary’s Shopify ecosystem team. The Lead Solutions Architect, Shopify Ecosystem is the technical authority that sits at the intersection of Shopify merchants, agencies, strategic tech partners, and Cloudinary’s platform. In this role you will be responsible for building and evolving Cloudinary’s AssetLink Shopify app, representing ecosystem needs internally, and translating product-market fit into repeatable Shopify adoption.   This role is a highly hands-on IC with outsized influence (reporting to the GM, Shopify). As the motion proves out, you’ll help define what will become a small ecosystem engineering / architecture function, hiring and leading a team over time, or via managing outsourced development resources.   Why this role matters: Shopify is one of the most important ecosystems for Cloudinary’s commerce growth. AssetLink, our Shopify app, is the product surface area that makes Cloudinary “real” to Shopify customers: an embedded, Shopify-native way to connect a Cloudinary media library to Shopify workflows (Admin, themes, and automation) and scale consistent, high-performing visual experiences across stores and channels.
