Shopify Developer

Role Overview

As a Mid-weight Front-End Shopify Developer, you will play a key role in scaling our global DTC e-commerce experience and building best-in-class storefront journeys for sneaker enthusiasts. You will work in a Shopify Plus, multi-store environment (initially 3 stores across 4 markets), with the intention of unifying under 1 domain while launching additional markets. This is a hands-on role for someone who understands the real-world complexities of global commerce and cares about craft: clean, maintainable code; thoughtful UI/UX delivery; and performance that holds up as traffic, catalogue, and complexity grow.

You will collaborate closely with E-commerce, Marketing, Creative, and Operations, translating designs into fast, accessible, conversion-friendly experiences. You will work within agile delivery, using code pipelines and disciplined engineering practices to ship changes confidently and avoid spaghetti code.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain Shopify Plus storefronts across a multi-store, multi-market setup (themes, templates, sections, snippets, and reusable components).
• Deliver high-quality UI from Figma files and, where relevant, PSDs, ensuring responsive behaviour across devices and browsers.
• Own front-end theme architecture and code quality: keep code modular, readable, well-documented, and easy to extend.
• Support international commerce requirements including localisation, currency, shipping and tax considerations, and market-specific merchandising needs.
• Contribute to the roadmap to unify multiple storefronts under 1 domain, while enabling new market launches with minimal rework.
• Proactively identify scalability and performance risks (theme complexity, app bloat, render-blocking assets, third-party scripts) and propose solutions before they become problems.
• Implement and maintain integrations (including Klaviyo, Trustpilot, logistics and social integrations), and collaborate with third parties where needed to deliver the best solution.
• Work in an agile framework: estimate tasks, contribute to sprint planning, communicate risks early, and deliver against agreed milestones.
• Manage code through version control and deployment pipelines (branching, pull requests, code reviews, testing/QA, and release management).

Key Requirements

• Professional experience building and maintaining Shopify storefronts with a strong front-end portfolio.
• Excellent understanding of Shopify architecture and theme development (Online Store 2.0, Liquid, JSON templates, sections, metafields/metaobjects).
• Hands-on experience with Shopify Plus and Shopify Markets in a multi-store environment.
• Strong HTML, CSS/SCSS, and JavaScript (TypeScript is a plus), with an eye for details and interaction polish.
• Strong UI/UX implementation skills: accessibility-aware, responsive, and performance-focused.
• Comfortable working from Figma and design systems, and collaborating with Creative and Marketing to iterate quickly without sacrificing quality.
• Experience using GitHub and working within CI/CD pipelines, including clean pull requests, code review practices, and disciplined release processes.
• Experience using Jira and/or ClickUp within an agile delivery framework.
• A quality-first mindset: you prefer to do the job right the first time, and you can make pragmatic compromises only when absolutely necessary to hit goals and deadlines.
• Clear communicator who collaborates well across design, marketing, and operations teams.
• Able to work 5 days per week in our Acton office (W3).

Desirable

• Exposure to headless Shopify (Hydrogen/Remix) or the Storefront API.
• Experience with Shopify Functions (including discount functions) and Checkout UI Extensions.
• Experience evaluating and implementing third-party apps and integrations with an emphasis on long-term maintainability.
• Experience with performance tooling (Lighthouse/Core Web Vitals), automated testing, and front-end monitoring.
• Experience supporting conversion rate optimisation and experimentation (A/B testing).

Tooling and Integrations

• Tooling: GitHub, Jira, ClickUp (plus any additional collaboration tools used across Digital and Marketing).
• Integrations: Klaviyo, Trustpilot, logistics integrations, and social platform integrations.
• Analytics and tracking: comfortable working alongside GA4/GTM requirements and site performance best practices.

Hiring Process

• Stage 1: Video interview.
• Stage 2: In-person interview (Acton) plus a take-home task.
• Stage 3: Final stage interview with senior stakeholders.
