Job description

We're a fast-growing direct-to-consumer brand, and we're looking for a Shopify Plus Developer to own the technical development of our storefront and the apps that power it. This is a builder's role with real ownership. You'll write custom Shopify apps, replace third-party apps with in-house solutions where it makes sense, and have a genuine voice in how we improve the customer experience. We don't want someone who only executes a ticket queue - we want a technical partner who brings ideas about performance, conversion, and what's worth building versus buying. You'll partner closely with our technology leadership and cross-functional teams (marketing, merchandising, ops).

To be considered, please fill out this survey: https://surveys.cultureindex.com/s/VK2opX4gLU/130183 What you'll do

  • Build custom Shopify apps using the Shopify APIs (Admin, Storefront, GraphQL) and a modern backend stack (Node.js and/or Ruby) to solve needs that off-the-shelf apps don't, or don't justify their cost..
  • Replace paid third-party apps with in-house builds where it makes sense - evaluating which apps are worth bringing under our own control, building the replacements, and maintaining them..
  • Develop and maintain our theme - Liquid, JavaScript, HTML/CSS - with an eye toward performance and maintainability..
  • Own integrations between Shopify and our other systems (ERP, PIM, subscription, marketing, analytics, fulfillment, etc.)..
  • Improve site experience proactively. Monitor site speed, conversion, and UX, and bring forward your own recommendations - not just implement requests handed to you..
  • Own technical quality: code review standards, documentation, version control, testing, and safe deployment practices, helping shape how we build..

What you'll own

  • The technical roadmap for our Shopify storefront, in partnership with technology leadership..
  • The build, deployment, and maintenance of our custom apps and integrations..
  • Site performance and the technical side of conversion-rate optimization..

Requirements

  • 3+ years of software development experience overall, with 1+ years specifically building on Shopify..
  • Hands-on Shopify Plus experience..
  • Demonstrable custom app development experience using the Shopify APIs and a backend language (Node.js and/or Ruby) - beyond theme customization..
  • Strong Liquid, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS skills..
  • Experience with third-party integrations (REST/GraphQL APIs, webhooks, data syncs)..
  • Comfort working autonomously, with sound judgment about build-vs-buy and long-term maintainability..
  • A portfolio or examples of custom Shopify work you can walk us through..

Nice to have

  • Headless / Hydrogen experience (or interest in moving us that direction over time)..
  • Experience at a high-growth DTC brand..
  • CRO / performance optimization track record with measurable results..
  • Experience migrating off paid apps to custom solutions..
  • Familiarity with our specific integration surface (ERP, PIM, subscriptions, email/SMS platforms)..

Who you'll work with

  • Technology leadership - your manager and primary technical collaborator..
  • Cross-functional partners in marketing and operations..
