Shopify Developer

Role overview Build and improve Shopify commerce experiences from design handoff through launch and ongoing performance work. The focus is on storefronts that are easy for merchants to manage, quick to load, and designed to support sales. The work includes custom themes, headless implementations, integrations, and direct collaboration with merchants and designers.

Responsibilities - Develop custom Shopify themes with reusable Liquid sections, merchant-friendly settings, and practical templates. - Build storefronts using Shopify’s Storefront API, including headless implementations where appropriate. - Translate design work into accurate, responsive storefront experiences. - Audit and improve site speed, monitor Core Web Vitals, and account for the performance cost of third-party scripts. - Connect apps, metafields, and external services; create custom integrations when existing tools do not meet requirements. - Establish reusable components and standards for future storefront projects.

Requirements - Demonstrated experience building custom Shopify themes with Liquid. - Experience with the Storefront API and headless commerce, such as Hydrogen or a custom frontend, and judgment about when that approach is suitable. - Strong understanding of storefront conversion, including product pages, cart journeys, and checkout friction. - Ability to profile and improve performance using evidence rather than guesswork. - Experience integrating Shopify with apps and external APIs, including custom integration work when needed. - Able to explain technical choices clearly to merchants and collaborate with designers.

Benefits and work setup - Full-time, remote role for candidates in the United States. - Competitive pay and ownership across the build and launch process. - Small team with direct access to decision-makers and work spanning client storefronts and production software.
