Job description

Job Overview

Thinkster in Pune is looking for a Shopify & WordPress Developer who will own end‑to‑end builds, from custom Liquid themes and WooCommerce extensions to performance optimisation. This role requires writing clean, maintainable code and collaborating closely with designers and stakeholders.

Why This Job Stands Out

Most web developer positions at this level in Pune focus on theme installation and content updates. Here you’ll work on real client projects, taking full ownership from conception to launch, and making architectural decisions that affect performance and business outcomes.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

Shopify Development

• Liquid Templating: Build and modify custom Shopify themes using Liquid and the Shopify CLI.
• E‑commerce Solutions: Implement payment gateways, checkout flows, and app integrations end‑to‑end.
• Shopify Plus: Manage merchant‑specific requirements, scripts, and multi‑channel setups.
• Performance Optimization: Tune stores for speed, Core Web Vitals, and technical SEO.

WordPress & WooCommerce

• Custom Theme Development: Create WordPress themes and plugins from scratch.
• WooCommerce Builds: Extend stores with custom functionality, hooks, and integrations.
• REST API Integrations: Connect CRMs, ERPs, and marketing tools via clean APIs.
• Cross‑team Collaboration: Implement pixel‑accurate, responsive designs from Figma handoffs.

Skills You Will Build

• Liquid templating & Shopify CLI theme development.
• Custom WordPress theme and plugin development.
• WooCommerce builds and extensions.
• HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+), and PHP.
• REST API design and third‑party integrations.
• Core Web Vitals optimisation and technical SEO basics.
• Mobile‑first, responsive design implementation.
• Git version control and collaborative dev workflows.
• Performance debugging and bottleneck resolution.
• Clear technical communication with stakeholders.

Tools You’ll Work With Daily

• Shopify CLI
• Liquid
• WooCommerce
• Git & GitHub
• Elementor / WPBakery
• Figma
• Postman
• GTmetrix / PageSpeed Insights
• Cloudflare / cPanel

Who We’re Looking For — 4–7 Years Experience

We want a developer with 4–7 years of hands‑on experience on both Shopify and WordPress, who can own a build from kick‑off to launch, write code that future developers appreciate, and communicate clearly with non‑technical stakeholders.

What You Bring

• 4–7 years spanning Shopify and WordPress development.
• Strong Liquid templating and Shopify theme customization.
• Proven WooCommerce builds with custom functionality.
• Solid PHP, HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript (ES6+) skills.
• Experience integrating REST APIs and third‑party services.
• Comfort with Git workflows and collaborative codebases.
• B.E./B.Sc. in Computer Science or a related field (preferred).

Your Working Style

• Strong opinions about using a page builder vs. custom code.
• Regularly checks Core Web Vitals before marking a project complete.
• Reads the design brief before opening a code editor.
• Writes maintainable code for the next developer.
• Flags architectural issues early and proposes better approaches.
• Owns a build end‑to‑end, not just closes tickets.

Full Project Ownership

At Thinkster, developers are part of the strategic conversation. You’ll understand the client’s business goals before writing code, provide input on feasibility during scoping, and have the autonomy to propose smarter architectural solutions.

Perks & Pay

• Competitive salary based on experience and demonstrated skills.
• Flexible working hours focused on output and craft.
• Direct impact: your builds power Thinkster’s client results.
• Hands‑on exposure to Shopify Plus, headless builds, and WooCommerce extensions from day one.
• Direct collaboration with designers and strategists.
• Live, public portfolio of real projects to showcase in future interviews.
• Clear career path: Senior Developer, Tech Lead, or Solutions Architect.
• Modern Bavdhan, Pune office with snacks and good coffee.

Career Growth — From Developer to Tech Lead

Start as a Shopify & WordPress developer and, in 12–18 months, build a portfolio of real builds and performance data. High performers can lead project tracks, mentor junior developers, or move into Solutions Architect roles within 18–24 months.
