About The Position

We’re looking for a mid-level Shopify Developer who can work confidently across storefront themes, apps, and integrations. You should understand how the Shopify ecosystem fits together and be comfortable deciding when to customize a theme, use an existing app, or build a custom solution. You’ll help maintain and improve Shopify stores, troubleshoot issues, and turn business requirements into reliable, maintainable solutions. This role suits someone who can independently own well-defined projects, communicate tradeoffs clearly, and ask thoughtful questions when requirements need clarification.

• Strong skills in Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Experience with Shopify Online Store 2.0 themes, reusable sections, and the theme editor.
• Practical experience developing or maintaining Shopify apps, beyond installing and configuring them.
• Experience with a backend language or framework and working with APIs, authentication, webhooks, and data storage.
• An understanding of Shopify’s core concepts, including products, variants, collections, customers, orders, and discounts.
• Good judgment about the capabilities, limitations, costs, and maintenance requirements of third-party apps.
• Familiarity with Git, code review, debugging, and testing.
• Clear communication and the ability to explain technical decisions to nontechnical teammates.
• The ability to take a task from requirements through implementation, testing, and release.
• The ability to read documentation and make logical leaps between requirements and implementation.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Shopify Plus, Shopify Functions, or checkout extensions.
• Familiarity with React, TypeScript, and GraphQL.
• Experience integrating Shopify with fulfillment, inventory, subscription, or marketing platforms.

• Translate designs and requirements into accessible, performant shopping experiences.
• Evaluate, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot third-party Shopify apps.
• Develop and maintain custom Shopify apps and integrations with external systems.
• Work with Shopify APIs, webhooks, metafields, and metaobjects.
• Diagnose issues across themes, apps, integrations, and store configuration.
