Senior Shopify Developer

We're looking for aSenior Shopify Developer who balances deep e-commerce expertise with modern frontend engineering. You'll build pixel-perfect, hyper-performant storefronts ranging from custom Liquid themes to headless Hydrogen/Next.js implementations working alongside our design team to create world-class shopping experiences.

In this role, you’ll work across a variety of client projects to find cost-effective, high-quality, and pragmatic solutions to complex e-commerce challenges. Responsibilities will include:

• Collaborating closely with Technical Leads and Designers to meet clients' custom e-commerce and technical needs.
• Building and maintaining high-performance storefronts using both custom Liquid (Online Store 2.0) and modern headless architectures (Shopify Storefront API, GraphQL, Hydrogen/Remix, Next.js).
• Implementing responsive, accessible, and pixel-perfect interfaces based on design specifications, with meticulous attention to product interaction details and motion design.
• Integrating custom storefronts with headless CMS platforms (Sanity, Contentful), payment gateways, subscriptions, search, and third-party e-commerce APIs.
• Optimizing e-commerce performance, focusing heavily on Core Web Vitals, image/video asset delivery, bundle size, and runtime efficiency across high-traffic collection and product pages.
• Architecting scalable, reusable component libraries and design systems tailored for commercial platforms.
• Writing clear documentation for store management, custom app integrations, and codebase maintenance.
• Participating in project team rituals, including Sprint Planning, daily standups, code reviews, and retrospectives.

The person we’re looking for is happy, relaxed and easy to get along with. They’re flexible on anything except conceits that will lower their usually outstanding work quality. They work "smart", by carefully managing their workflow and staggering features that have dependencies intelligently. They prefer deep work but are OK coming up to the surface now and then for top level / strategic conversations.
