Syatt is a remote ecommerce agency headquartered in Toronto, founded in 2018. We’re a proud Shopify Premiere Partner and our mission is to become the best Shopify Unified partner in North America.

We take a principled approach to everything and do what’s right for our clients, our team members and the company, in that order. We focus on outcomes rather than output and do so through transparency, collaboration, and ownership.

Location: Canada (EST ideal).

About The Role

We are looking for a Senior Front-End Shopify Developer to strengthen our talented team in building custom ecommerce experiences for our broad range of clients and technologies. We're looking for someone who isn't there to "take orders" and tasks, but wants to understand the why and cares about it.

Passion + Vision

You are passionate about the ever evolving digital storefront and are an ambassador of the trade. You feel passionate about creating highly performant, accessible websites with a strong sense of UX and empathy for end users.

Ownership + Collaboration

You are excited about being a part of a team that encourages each other to contribute, be creative, have a voice and grow. You evangelize and educate best practices throughout the team. You actively stay informed about & share changes in Front-End technology and the ecommerce industry on the whole.

Your Mission

• Understand the client, their customers and their needs, then help architect a solution on Shopify with a deep understanding of the platform and the ecosystem.
• Collaborate with our cross‑functional team to create engaging & impactful user experiences for brands & retailers online.
• Keep the execution bar high - and continuously try to help move it higher and higher.

Skills To Help You Succeed

• Multiple years experience with solutioning and building custom Shopify sites, ideally experience with homegrown starter themes.
• Strong native JavaScript skills, including custom elements and web components.
• Nice to have: experience building Checkout, Account & POS extensions on Shopify.
• Adopt existing patterns and conventions, as well as contribute to new ones.
• Experience creating and consuming RESTful and GraphQL APIs.
• Git and CI/CD tools (currently use Github Actions).
• Interfacing with clients, asking great questions.

Our Commitment

We are committed to transparency, diversity of thought, inclusion, growth, and accessibility, and encourage our team to bring their whole selves to work. We want you to feel safe, valued, and supported in all areas of your world, especially at work. We trust you, we celebrate you and we want to see you soar! If there is any form of support or accommodation we can offer during the hiring, selection and onboarding process, please let us know by contacting Brit MacIntyre, Culture & People Lead.

We are hiring for potential, not perfection! If you think you could make Syatt even better (not just as a Dev), we want to hear from you. Connect with us on LinkedIn or through our website so we can start the conversation.

Hiring Reason

We're growing - this is a new role for us!
