## About the Role

Do you have experience in Web development?, We're looking for someone early in their career with strong fundamentals, high standards, and a desire to become exceptional at their craft.

You don't need to know everything. We care much more about how quickly you learn, how you solve problems, and how much ownership you naturally take.

You might be a fit if:

 * You enjoy figuring things out.
 * You hate leaving things "good enough."
 * You care about details.
 * You teach yourself things constantly.
 * You've built side projects or things just because you wanted to.
 * You communicate clearly.
 * You like being trusted with responsibility.

You probably won't enjoy this role if:

 * You prefer detailed instructions for every task.
 * You dislike ambiguity.
 * You just want to close tickets and move on.
 * You don't enjoy learning new things.
 * You prefer large organizations with lots of process., Someone with 1-3 years of dev experience who learns quickly and wants to keep growing. You have worked on multiple projects, figured stuff out on your own, and care about doing quality work.

Specifically:

 * Strong JavaScript and CSS fundamentals
 * AI coding tools (Cursor) and how to use them effectively
 * Eye for detail - you notice when spacing is off or UX feels clunky
 * Can explain technical concepts to non-technical people without making them feel stupid
 * Shopify experience preferred but not required, if you're good with templating languages and can self-learn, you'll pick it up quickly

You will be expected to deliver high quality work quickly, without extensive revisions or constant manager check-ins, * Web development: 2 years (Required)

## Description

* Build custom Shopify themes and features using Liquid, JavaScript, and CSS (TailwindCSS)
 * Work directly with clients to understand requirements, provide updates, and solve technical challenges in plain English
 * Own projects from kickoff to launch - you'll be the lead, not just following tickets
 * Use AI-powered tools (Cursor, etc.) to write cleaner code faster
 * Troubleshoot, debug, and optimize existing client sites
