Job description

You'll join a supportive cross-functional team of developers, designers, analysts and project managers, working on Shopify Plus storefronts for ambitious ecommerce brands. This is a hands-on frontend development role where you'll learn quickly by building real things for real clients, with guidance from more experienced developers around you.

Day to day, you'll:

  • Build and maintain Shopify theme components and custom sections
  • Write Liquid templates using Online Store 2.0 architecture
  • Implement responsive, accessible frontend solutions using HTML, CSS and JavaScript
  • Participate in code reviews, learning from feedback and developing your eye for quality
  • Ask questions, pair with teammates and actively seek out ways to improve
  • Contribute to team processes and standards as your confidence grows

Requirements

You're early in your frontend development career but you've got a solid foundation and genuine enthusiasm for building things on the web. You might have some Shopify experience already, or you might be coming from a broader frontend background and keen to specialise. Either way, you're curious, proactive and ready to learn at pace.

Required

  • Some commercial or substantial project-based frontend development experience (6+ months)
  • Good working knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript (ES6+)
  • Familiarity with responsive design principles and cross-browser compatibility
  • Some exposure to Shopify, Liquid templating or a willingness to learn quickly
  • Comfortable using Git for version control
  • Clear written and verbal communication
  • A genuine appetite for learning, taking feedback on board and improving continuously

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Shopify Online Store 2.0 architecture and the Shopify CLI
  • Familiarity with Alpine.js or other lightweight JS frameworks
  • Exposure to React
  • Exposure to Tailwind CSS
  • Awareness of build tools such as Vite, Rollup or GitHub Actions
  • Interest in accessibility standards (WCAG) and web performance
  • Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments

Benefits & conditions

  • Competitive salary depending on experience
  • New laptop provided
  • 30 days holiday per year (inclusive of bank holidays), plus 1 additional day per full year served, capped at 5
  • Flexible working hours
  • Hybrid working with 1-2 days per week in our Exeter office
  • Investment in your professional development and growth
  • Regular company socials and events
