It's for an engineer who understands Shopify's platform deeply and wants to influence how one of the world's largest partnership platforms integrates with it. Reporting to the Engineering Manager, E-commerce Platform Integrations, you'll own and evolve impact.com's Shopify integration - a critical platform connecting thousands of merchants directly to our ecosystem. You'll help shape our approach to Shopify Apps, Web Pixels, merchant onboarding, API integrations and platform architecture while ensuring our integration continues to evolve alongside Shopify itself.

We don't want someone who simply maintains an integration. We want someone who can improve it.
