Episode description
Willem van Bergen is the Principal Production Engineer at Shopify. He joined as the 25th hire, before Shopify had even raised a Series A. He's been there for over 10 years and currently leads the product and engineering team.
In this episode we talk about the massive growth he's learned to navigate, advice he'd give to early-stage engineering teams, how he thinks about hiring, and what has kept him at Shopify for over a decade.
I hope you enjoy the show.
