Shopify Developer (E-commerce)
What we're looking for
Not a Shopify developer who drags and drops sections in the theme editor. We're looking for someone who actually knows the platform โ Liquid templating, Storefront API, custom app development, metafields, webhooks, performance optimization. The kind of developer who opens the code editor before the visual editor.
You'll be working on an established e-commerce store that already has real traffic and real customers. That means your work has direct impact โ both when it goes right and when it doesn't. We need someone who takes that seriously.
We also expect you to move with the times. AI is changing how good developers work โ and we want someone who's already using it to their advantage, not waiting to be told to.
What the work looks like
- Deep customization of Shopify themes โ Liquid, JS, CSS โ beyond what any app or template can offer
- Diagnosing and fixing performance, checkout, and integration issues at the code level
- Building and integrating custom functionality (custom apps, third-party APIs, payment/shipping logic)
- Owning technical decisions โ architecture, tooling, approach โ without needing hand-holding
Using AI tools (Cursor, Copilot, Claude, or whatever works for you) to move faster and think sharper โ not as a crutch, but as a force multiplier - Spotting problems before they're reported, and proposing improvements proactively
You're a strong fit if - You have 3+ years of hands-on Shopify development (not just theme editing)
- You've worked on mid-to-large stores with complex requirements
- You're comfortable with Shopify's backend: APIs, webhooks, metaobjects, app development
- You understand e-commerce KPIs โ conversion rate, page speed, checkout flow โ and build with them in mind
You've integrated or worked with AI-powered features (product recommendations, search, personalization, chatbots) โ or you're excited to - You work independently, communicate clearly, and don't need daily check-ins to stay on track
- You have opinions about the right way to do things and can back them up
What we offer - Creative freedom โ we don't micromanage. You own your work.
- A team that values technical expertise and listens to expert opinion
- A real project with real scope โ not a one-page brochure site
- Flexible remote setup
Send your CV, a link to Shopify stores you've worked on (ideally with a note on what specifically you built), and a brief intro. No cover letter templates, please โ just tell us what kind of Shopify problems you're good at solving.
