James Stanier

Experienced and impactful engineering leader, author and speaker. I'm at Shopify, making commerce better for everyone. I'm always hiring.

Previously I helped grow Brandwatch from seed round through to acquisition. Prior to that, I did a Ph.D. in compilers.

I'm the author of Become An “Effective Software Engineering Manager”, a handbook to taking the leap into management. I’ve also written another book, “Effective Remote Work”, and you can probably guess what that’s about.
