Job description

We're hiring a mid-senior Shopify Developer on a remote monthly retainer to build and extend Shopify storefronts and apps for client work at Bolder Apps . You'll work directly with US-based founders and product owners, ship Liquid themes and modern Shopify surfaces, and leave code the next engineer can extend. We want someone who has shipped real merchant stores or apps in an agency or multi-client setting, not only a single personal theme demo. If you can own a store build, untangle a messy live theme, and keep client trust while saying no to bad technical ideas, we want to talk.

About Us

Bolder Apps is a product development studio that partners with US-based startups and established companies to build and scale innovative digital products. We specialize in AI-powered development, full-cycle product creation, and engineering team augmentation. Our mission is simple: build bolder, faster, and smarter.

Culture & Values

We move fast. We take ownership. We work with AI, not against it. And we expect everyone to bring ideas, not wait for instructions. There are no daily checklists, no micromanagement, and no corporate politics. Instead, you'll have autonomy, trust, and a team that's always ready to help you grow.

At Bolder Apps , impact matters more than titles, and curiosity matters more than seniority. If you want a place where you can level up fast and actually see your work making a difference - welcome aboard.

Responsibilities

• Own Shopify theme and storefront work for client stores from brief through launch, across more than one engagement when the pipeline needs it
• Build and maintain Liquid sections, templates, and theme architecture that merchants and the next developer can extend
• Implement Checkout Extensibility, Shopify Functions, and modern app surfaces when the store needs more than theme edits
• Build or extend custom Shopify apps (Node/Remix or similar) for admin, storefront, or checkout workflows when the brief requires it
• Partner with PMs, designers, and US clients on scope cuts, performance, SEO basics, analytics hooks, and launch risk
• Use AI coding tools to move faster, then review the output yourself before it hits a client store or production app
• Flag risk early when the theme is a fork nightmare, the app scope is fake, or Shopify constraints conflict with the ask
• Leave clear handoff notes, env setup, and repo hygiene so another engineer can pick up without archaeology.

Requirements

• Shipped Shopify work. 3+ years building production Shopify themes and/or apps that went live. Portfolio or store list shows real launches, not only theme demos.
• Client-facing craft. Agency or consultancy experience preferred. You have sat on calls with founders or merchants, explained trade-offs, and kept trust while saying no to bad ideas.
• Liquid and theme fluency. Sections, snippets, JSON templates, metafields, and clean theme structure. You can untangle a messy live theme without making it worse.
• Modern Shopify surface. Comfortable with Checkout Extensibility and/or Shopify Functions, or custom apps on the current Shopify app stack (Remix/Node or similar). Hydrogen/headless is a plus, not a hard gate.
• Store quality habits. Performance, accessibility basics, responsive storefronts, and careful production deploys.
• AI-augmented workflow. You use Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, or similar to accelerate implementation, and you catch when the output is almost right but wrong for Shopify.
• English at C1 or above. Client calls and written updates go out in your voice.
• US hours overlap. Available through roughly 5 PM EST for live client coordination.
• Ownership habits. Honest estimates, early blockers, finished commits. No disappearing acts.

Benefits

• Fully remote and async-friendly, with required overlap through ~5 PM EST for client sessions
• Monthly retainer structure with recurring Shopify client work for developers who ship clean themes and calm launches
• Real autonomy over how you structure theme work, app code, and handoff. We do not hand you a rigid playbook
• Direct line to PMs, designers, and decision-makers
• Tooling budget for Shopify Partner tools and AI coding tools you need to move fast
• A peer network of product-minded builders across overlapping client projects
