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.

- 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.
