• Experience converting Figma designs into responsive Shopify pages.


• Experience with Git and GitHub.


• Experience installing and configuring Shopify apps.


• Experience managing products, collections, pages, blogs, navigation, and website content.


• Working knowledge of e-commerce SEO and on-page optimisation.


• Strong understanding of responsive web development.


• Excellent attention to visual detail.


• Strong written communication skills.


• Ability to produce accurate, polished work with minimal supervision.

Who You Are

• Loves working with Shopify.


• Is reliable, responsive, and dependable.


• Works quickly without sacrificing accuracy.


• Notices UX, content, and visual issues before anyone else.


• Has a strong eye for design, spacing, consistency, and presentation.


• Thinks beyond writing code and considers the full customer experience.


• Understands that premium products require trust-building content and thoughtful presentation.


• Enjoys solving problems independently.


• Is highly organized and communicates clearly.


• Takes ownership of projects from assignment through testing and deployment.


• Tests everything before marking a task complete.


• Can comfortably manage multiple client projects and priorities.


• Collaborates well with designers, marketers, project managers, and clients.


• Is comfortable asking questions when requirements are unclear.


• Looks for ways to improve a page instead of simply completing the requested update.
