About The Position

We are looking for a full-stack Web Developer to join Miva's Professional Services team. This is a client-facing delivery role: you will sit in on client conversations, translate their business needs into technical requirements, and explain tradeoffs in plain language when a client isn't technical themselves. You will build and maintain eCommerce storefronts on the Miva platform using MVT, HTML5, CSS3, and vanilla JavaScript, connect client stores to the rest of their business systems through custom integrations, and stay in lockstep with your project team to turn those requirements into solutions that hit scope and timeline.

Requirements

5+ years of professional web development experience, including at least 1 year in eCommerce
Strong proficiency in HTML5, CSS3 (including preprocessors like Sass/LESS), and vanilla JavaScript (ES6+), with a firm grasp of the DOM
Working experience with PHP in a web development context
Experience with SQL-based databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL
Proficiency with version control systems and Git-based workflows
Ability to work within defined scope, timelines, and platform constraints in a client-facing delivery environment
Strong written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively in a remote, asynchronous team

Nice To Haves

Experience implementing eCommerce storefronts on platforms such as Miva, Shopify, BigCommerce, or Magento
Experience integrating with external systems such as NetSuite, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, or similar ERPs and CRMs
Experience with build tools such as Webpack or similar tooling
Advanced knowledge of Modern PHP and Laravel, with a focus on MVC design patterns, RESTful API development, and scalable backend architecture
Experience using containerization or local development tooling such as Docker
Prior experience working in an agency or Professional Services delivery environment
Experience using AI-assisted development tools to improve delivery efficiency and code quality
Familiarity with Agile or structured project delivery methodologies

Develop, customize, and maintain eCommerce storefronts using HTML5, CSS3, and vanilla JavaScript (ES6+) within Miva's template and configuration layers

Build and support integrations between Miva stores and external systems (ERPs, CRMs, payment providers, shipping systems, analytics platforms, marketing tools) using REST and SOAP APIs and legacy XML-based services, without relying on third-party libraries, including data mapping, authentication, rate limits, and error handling
Troubleshoot and resolve frontend, backend, and configuration issues across the platform and connected systems
Optimize storefront performance and conversion: Core Web Vitals, SEO (schema markup, product metadata, faceted navigation, crawlability), WCAG accessibility, and cross-browser/cross-device compatibility with a mobile-first approach
Configure full-funnel eCommerce analytics and GA4 tracking using GTM
Implement merchandising solutions such as cross-selling, dynamic product listings, personalization, and rule-based promotions and discounts
Write clean, maintainable, well-documented code, and participate in code reviews, QA validation, and client acceptance testing
