Descripción del empleo

Shopify Plus Developer (Remote - US Time Zones)

We are a specialized development agency working exclusively with high-growth eCommerce brands doing 8-9 figures in annual revenue. Our clients don't tolerate mediocrity — and neither do we.

We are hiring a Shopify Plus Developer who can own deliverables end to end, communicate fluently with clients and teams, and perform under real agency pressure. This is not an entry-level role. It is not for developers who need hand-holding, disappear after applying, or overstate their experience on a resume.

If you can't check every box below, please don't apply.

Top Requirement — AI-Assisted Development

• Active, daily use of AI coding tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude, or equivalent)
• Able to demonstrate how AI tools accelerate your Shopify workflow — theme scaffolding, code review, debugging, and documentation
• Uses AI to raise output quality and delivery speed — not as a crutch for gaps in fundamentals
• Keeps up with the evolving AI tooling landscape and adopts new tools proactively

Our Hiring Process Is Thorough — By Design

• Identity verification — you will be required to confirm your identity with a valid government-issued ID at the offer stage
• LinkedIn profile verification — your profile must be active, consistent with your CV, and reflect real tenure at the companies you list
• Reference checks — we will contact at least one past client or employer directly. References must be reachable and specific about your work

If any part of this makes you uncomfortable, this role is not for you. We do this to protect our clients, our team, and the candidates who represent themselves honestly.

What You Must Be Able To Do

• Build and customize Shopify Plus 2.0 themes from scratch — not just edit existing ones
• Translate Figma designs into pixel-perfect, high-performing storefronts
• Explain your technical decisions clearly to clients and project managers in plain English
• Manage code via GitHub in a multi-developer agency environment
• Work US time zones (EST-PST) with fast, consistent communication across Slack, Gmail, and ClickUp

Core Technical Responsibilities

• Code Shopify Plus 2.0 Liquid themes from scratch and using the Dawn base theme
• Translate Figma designs into pixel-perfect Shopify Plus templates
• Build and optimize landing pages from Figma files and existing templates
• Optimize site speed against Google Core Web Vitals benchmarks
• Configure GA4, Google Ads tracking, and GTM within Shopify and Shopify Checkout
• Configure Shopify Plus admin settings: discounts, shipping rules, scripts, and functions
• Customize Shopify Plus Checkout using Checkout Extensibility and Functions
• Build custom collection filters using Tags, Metafields, and Metaobjects
• Implement and configure advanced Shopify apps (ReBuy, Yotpo, SYWM, etc.)
• Build SEO-optimized page templates with correct heading structure, canonical tags, and noindex logic
• Implement ADA-compliant fixes and templates based on PM direction
• Stay current on Shopify Plus releases: Checkout Extensibility, Functions, Markets

This Role Is Not For You If:

• You don't actively use AI coding tools in your daily workflow
• You haven't built a Shopify Plus 2.0 theme from the ground up
• You apply to roles without reading the full description
• You've accepted interview invitations and then disappeared
• You struggle to explain technical work to non-technical stakeholders in English
• You inflate your resume and figure it'll sort itself out in the interview
• You need someone to define every task before you can start

Requirements

Experience

• 3+ years of Shopify Plus development for DTC brands (brands in the $10M-$50M revenue range strongly preferred)
• Proven experience building and owning Shopify Plus 2.0 themes — not just theme edits
• GitHub-based theme version control in an agency setting
• Prior experience at a Shopify-focused development agency

Communication

• Strong written and spoken English — this will be tested, not just listed
• Able to explain code and technical decisions to non-developers clearly and concisely
• Responds to Slack and ClickUp messages promptly with context, not just "ok"
• Comfortable presenting work on live client calls without a script

Availability

• Available during US business hours — EST/CST/MST preferred; PST coverage from 8am-5pm is ideal
• Responsive and consistent — we notice when developers go quiet
