Job description
We’re growing our Shopify delivery team and looking for exceptional developers to help us deliver world-class ecommerce experiences for ambitious brands.
What we’re looking for
Our ideal candidate is a Senior Shopify Developer with strong JavaScript skills and hands-on Shopify Plus experience who excels at taking clear tech requirements and turning them into reliable, production-ready code. You care about performance, accessibility, and maintainability, and you’re comfortable working within established patterns and guardrails.
As a Senior Shopify Developer, you will build apps, checkout extensions, and storefront improvements for complex ecommerce projects. You’ll work closely with a Tech Lead who defines approach and acceptance criteria; your focus is execution quality—writing clean code, communicating progress clearly, and raising risks early with practical options.

- Implement features from Tech Requirements and scoped tickets using approved patterns and templates.
- Build and enhance Shopify Functions, Checkout UI Extensions, and storefront features (Liquid/JavaScript/React as needed).
- Provide targeted feedback on Tech Requirements; ask clarifying questions to close gaps.
- Surface technical risks and unknowns early; propose simpler alternatives when appropriate.
- Identify and develop reusable patterns with component-based code that is clearly documented.
- Present work and solutions to clients as needed, explaining technical choices in plain language.
- Collaborate with a cross-functional team including developers, designers, strategists, and project managers.
- Stay up to date and make recommendations regarding new web development technologies.
- Work in agile sprints and participate in daily project stand-ups (via Zoom).
