Frontend Engineer, Design Systems & Commerce

• Extend and steward our design system. Grow the component library, tokens, and page-composition patterns so they act as creative guardrails rather than a cage. Make the right thing the easy thing.
• Build for self-serve. Architect Shopify theme sections, blocks, metafields, and metaobjects so that creative and merchandising partners can compose and launch pages without an engineer in the loop for every change.
• Partner directly with creative and UX. Take a Figma file, a mood board, or a half-formed idea and drive it to a shipped page, asking the right questions, proposing alternatives, and making judgment calls on your own.
• Own merchandising surfaces. Category and collection pages, faceted filtering and sort, variant and colorway selection, swatch and color-contribution logic, cross-sell and bundle modules, badging, and inventory- and availability-aware states.
• Ship seasonal and concurrent campaigns. Support multiple campaigns running at once across product lines, with clean scheduling, staged launches, and graceful takedowns.
• Hold the quality bar high. Core Web Vitals, accessibility, responsive behavior, cross-browser correctness, and analytics instrumentation are part of the definition of done.
• Work cleanly with backend engineering. Define the data and API contracts you need, integrate with commerce, catalog, and account systems, and keep the boundary between presentation and business logic clean.

• Strong Shopify experience is a must, with deep, hands-on work with Liquid, Online Store 2.0 theme architecture (sections, blocks, metafields, metaobjects), the Storefront and Admin GraphQL APIs, and the theme development toolchain
• Experience building for multi-product-line brands and catalogs spanning hard goods, apparel, accessories, parts, and merch, understanding how differently each merchandises
• Proven execution across seasonal and multi-campaign launches, shipping drops and overlapping campaigns without the codebase turning into a graveyard of one-off templates
• Real experience building or materially extending a design system, including a component library and token system, and translating Figma libraries into durable, composable code
• Expert-level modern frontend skills: JavaScript/TypeScript, CSS architecture, and a modern component framework (React or equivalent), comfortable with build tooling and progressive enhancement
• Category and collection page depth, with strong opinions on faceted navigation, sort defaults, pagination vs. infinite scroll, and color/variant presentation, and the ability to collaborate easily with creative teams on how each affects conversion
• Performance and accessibility as defaults (Core Web Vitals, image and font strategy, WCAG 2.1 AA), built in without being asked
• Autonomy to take ambiguous creative direction, ask sharp questions, and drive to a shipped result with simple collaboration from Creative, not hand-holding or a fully specified ticket
• Excellent collaboration and communication, able to hold your own with designers on craft and with backend engineers on contracts, building trust with both
• 6+ years of frontend engineering, including 3+ years on commerce storefronts
• Bonus: familiarity with Figma Dev tools, GSAP, or Hydrogen/Oxygen/headless Shopify (including knowing when headless is and isn’t worth it)
• Bonus: experience with the Shopify partner ecosystem (SearchSpring, Algolia, Klaviyo, reviews and loyalty apps), Shopify Functions, Checkout Extensibility, Markets, or B2B storefronts
• Bonus: A/B testing and experimentation platforms, analytics instrumentation and tag management, motion/interaction craft, product configurators or build-your-own flows, or backend familiarity in Node.js on AWS

The salary for this position ranges from $165,000 to $185,000 per year, depending on experience, qualifications, and location.
