About the role
Responsibilities:
- Custom App Development: Architect and maintain custom Shopify Apps (Public or Private) to extend store functionality beyond the limitations of the Shopify Admin.
- Bespoke Theme Engineering: Develop high-conversion, "Online Store 2.0" themes from Figma files using Liquid, JSON templates, and metafields.
- Advanced API Integration: Seamlessly integrate Shopify's Admin API, Storefront API, and GraphQL to sync data with ERPs, CRMs, or external databases.
- Performance Optimization: Audit and refactor code to achieve 90+ Google PageSpeed scores, minimizing "app bloat" by building native liquid/JS features.
Requirements:
- The Shopify Stack: 2-3 years of deep experience with Liquid, Shopify CLI, and App Bridge.
- Backend Proficiency: Strong grasp of Node.js, Remix, or PHP (Laravel) for app development.
- Frontend Excellence: Expert-level modern JS (ES6+), SASS/CSS3 and Tailwind CSS.
- Data and Tooling: Experience with GraphQL, REST APIs, and version control (Git).
- Design-to-Code: Ability to translate high-fidelity Figma designs into functional code with 100% accuracy.
Soft Skills and Competencies:
- The "Optimizer" Mindset: You prefer writing a custom script over installing a heavy third-party app.
- Problem Solver: You can navigate Shopify's API limitations with creative workarounds.
- Detail-Obsessed: You can spot a flickering transition or a misaligned padding from a mile away.
