Lead Frontend Shopify Engineer

We’re looking for a Lead Frontend Shopify Engineer to drive the technical vision, architecture, and front-end development for one of our high-velocity enterprise client accounts.
If you’re passionate about creating exceptional Shopify experiences, leading talented engineers, and owning delivery end-to-end — this role is for you.

What You’ll Do:

  • Develop and maintain high-quality, production-ready Shopify front-end code (Liquid, HTML, CSS, JS) and reusable UI components.
  • Lead front-end development workstreams in an Agile environment — planning, estimations, stand-ups, mentoring junior engineers.
  • Collaborate closely with design, marketing, and engineering teams to gather requirements and deliver scalable, integrated solutions.
  • Implement integrations with marketing tools, platform APIs, and Shopify Apps.
  • Ensure code quality through reviews, unit testing, accessibility improvements, and performance optimization.
  • Own the entire development lifecycle — from concept and architecture to launch, scaling, and ongoing maintenance.
  • Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, addressing issues, presenting solutions, and raising risks proactively.
     

What You Should Have:

  • Strong Shopify Front-End Expertise: Experience building high-quality Shopify themes and custom storefronts (Liquid, HTML, CSS, JavaScript).
  • Component-Based Architecture: Ability to build reusable components and follow modern front-end architectural patterns.
  • Agile Experience: Hands-on work within Agile frameworks (Scrum/Kanban), participating in planning, estimations, and daily rituals.
  • Technical Leadership: Proven experience leading development workstreams and mentoring junior front-end engineers.
  • API & App Integrations: Experience integrating third-party APIs, marketing tools, and Shopify Apps.
  • Code Quality Mindset: Strong focus on clean code standards, testing, and best practices.
  • Performance Optimization: Skills in optimizing page performance, Core Web Vitals, rendering speed, and smooth UX.
  • Accessibility Knowledge (WCAG): Ability to build inclusive and accessible interfaces.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Comfort working with designers, marketers, PMs, and other engineering teams.
  • End-to-End Ownership: From idea → to delivery → to maintenance and scalability.
  • Problem-Solving: Ability to translate complex requirements into clear technical solutions.
  • Clear Communication: Ability to explain technical concepts to both engineers and business stakeholders.

Continuous Learning: Staying up to date with Shopify updates, best practices, and evolving technologies.
