## Description

This is a hands-on Shopify Developer role, acting as the primary technical owner of the storefront.

You'll be responsible for the ongoing development, optimisation, and performance of a high-impact DTC platform - working directly with founders and commercial teams in a fast-moving environment.

This is not a management role - it's for someone who enjoys building, fixing, and improving things end-to-end.

What You'll Be Doing

 * Build, customise and optimise Shopify themes (Online Store 2.0, Liquid)
 * Identify and fix bugs, performance issues, and inefficiencies across the storefront
 * Improve site speed, UX, and conversion rates
 * Develop and maintain integrations across:
 * Subscriptions (e.g. Recharge / Skio)
 * Payments
 * Marketing tools and third-party apps
 * Work with Shopify APIs and external services to enable new functionality
 * Collaborate with founders and commercial teams to deliver impactful improvements
 * Take ownership of key areas of the customer journey (PDP, cart, checkout)

What Success Looks Like

 * You're delivering visible improvements within your first 4-6 weeks
 * The site becomes faster, smoother, and higher converting
 * Integrations are stable, scalable, and well maintained
 * You become a trusted technical partner to non-technical stakeholders
