Job description

Thinkster Careers · Pune 2026

Looking for a Shopify & WordPress Developer Job in Pune that goes beyond template tweaks and plugin installs? Thinkster is hiring an experienced developer to own end-to-end builds — custom Liquid themes, WooCommerce extensions, and performance optimisation from day one. If you care about code quality as much as launch day — we’d love to talk.

Why This Shopify & WordPress Developer Job in Pune Stands Out

Most web developer jobs in Pune are just theme installation and content updates dressed up as development work. You spend months doing the same three things in a loop, and your actual coding skills quietly rust. After a while, your portfolio looks exactly like everyone else’s.

This Shopify & WordPress developer job in Pune is built differently. You’ll work on real client projects — custom Shopify themes, complex WooCommerce builds, third-party integrations, and performance-tuned WordPress deployments — with full ownership of your work from start to launch. Every build has to be clean, every integration has to hold up under load, and every site you ship has to be worth being proud of.

Thinkster is a design-led digital marketing agency. We build digital experiences for real businesses — which means the developer role here demands more thinking than ticket-closing. From day one, you’ll be making architectural decisions, collaborating with designers on pixel-accurate implementations, and sharpening your understanding of how performance and business outcomes are directly connected.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

Shopify Development

• Liquid Templating: Build and modify custom Shopify themes with precision using Liquid and Shopify CLI
• E-commerce Solutions: Implement payment gateways, checkout flows, and Shopify app integrations end-to-end
• Shopify Plus: Handle complex merchant requirements, scripts, and multi-channel setups
• Performance Optimization: Tune stores for speed, Core Web Vitals, and technical SEO from the ground up

WordPress & WooCommerce

• Custom Theme Dev: Build WordPress themes and plugins from scratch — no copy-paste shortcuts
• WooCommerce Builds: Extend stores with custom functionality, hooks, and third‑party integrations
• REST API Integrations: Connect CRMs, ERPs, and marketing tools via REST APIs cleanly
• Cross-team Collaboration: Implement pixel-accurate, responsive designs directly from Figma handoffs

Skills You Will Build

• Liquid templating and Shopify CLI theme development
• Custom WordPress theme and plugin development from scratch
• WooCommerce builds and custom extensions
• HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+), and PHP
• REST API design and third‑party service integrations
• Core Web Vitals optimization and technical SEO basics
• Mobile‑first, responsive design implementation
• Git version control and collaborative dev workflows
• Performance debugging and bottleneck resolutionClear technical communication with non‑technical 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 — Shopify & WordPress Developer With 4–7 Years Experience

We’re hiring a Shopify & WordPress developer with 4–7 years of hands‑on experience across both platforms. You don’t need a decade of enterprise work. If you can own a build from kickoff to launch, write code the next developer will thank you for, and communicate clearly with non‑technical stakeholders — you’re already most of the way there.

What You Bring

• 4–7 years across Shopify and WordPress development
• Strong Liquid templating and Shopify theme customization experience
• 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 related field (preferred)

Your Working Style

• Has opinions about when to use a page builder vs. custom code
• Automatically checks Core Web Vitals before calling a project done
• Reads the design brief before opening a code editorWrites code that can be maintained by the next developer
• Flags architectural issues early — and proposes the better approach
• Comfortable owning a build end‑to‑end, not just closing tickets

A Web Developer Job in Pune That Actually Challenges You

Let’s be honest — a lot of Shopify and WordPress developer jobs in Pune treat developers like ticket‑closers. You get a brief, you build it, you move to the next one — no context, no ownership, no say in how things are done. That’s not what this is.

At Thinkster, developers are part of the strategic conversation. You’ll understand the client’s business goals before writing a single line of code. You’ll provide input on technical feasibility during scoping. And when something in a build doesn’t make architectural sense, you’re not just expected to flag it — you’re trusted to propose the better approach.

Whether you’re a seasoned Shopify developer in Pune looking for a smarter team to grow with, or a WordPress specialist who’s built deep platform expertise — this role is designed to make full use of what you know and push you further.

“Code reviews happen because we want everyone to get better — not because we’re looking for mistakes.”

More Than a Regular Dev Job — Full Project Ownership

A lot of companies offering a Shopify or WordPress developer job in Pune treat the role like a build machine. You get a spec, you ship it, repeat. At Thinkster, you get context. You understand the full picture — who the client is, what problem the build solves, and why an architectural decision is made the way it is.

You’ll encounter real technical complexity — Shopify Plus customizations, headless integrations, WooCommerce extensions, performance debugging under time pressure, and client‑specific requirements that don’t fit neatly into any plugin. The kind of problems that actually make you a better developer. And because this is a focused team with direct access to decision‑makers, your input doesn’t get buried in approval chains. If you spot a smarter architectural approach on Monday, we can align and move by Wednesday.

You’ll also be building work you can actually be proud of. Our team handles real branding and rebranding projects, end‑to‑end social media marketing campaigns, and digital strategy that drives outcomes. When your build goes live, it leads to real business results — not just a closed ticket.

Perks & Pay

• Competitive salary based on experience and skills demonstrated during the process
• Flexible working hours — we care about output and craft, not just clocking in
• Real impact — your builds directly 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 — not just ticket queues
• A live, public portfolio of real projects you can showcase in future interviews
• Clear path to growth — Senior Developer, Tech Lead, or Solutions Architect tracks
• Modern Bavdhan, Pune office with snacks and good coffee

Career Growth — From Developer to Tech Lead

Joining as a Shopify & WordPress developer at Thinkster isn’t an end‑state — it’s the starting point of a clear career track. By the time you’ve spent 12–18 months here, you’ll have a concrete portfolio of real builds, performance data, and integration work that you can walk into any interview and own completely.

Strong performers are given opportunities to lead project tracks, mentor junior developers, and contribute to internal tooling within 18–24 months. Top performers are also considered for Solutions Architect responsibilities — scoping complex client builds, defining tech stacks, and leading delivery. We don’t believe in keeping good developers stuck on the same sprint board for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this a Shopify‑only role or does it cover WordPress too?

Both. You’ll work across Shopify and WordPress projects depending on client needs. Strong expertise in one platform and working knowledge of the other is a great starting point — we’ll help you deepen both over time.

2. Is this job remote or in‑office in Pune?

This is a full‑time, on‑site role at our Bavdhan, Pune office. Collaborative dev work — design handoffs, QA sessions, client reviews — moves significantly faster when the team is in the same room.

3. Do I need Shopify Plus experience specifically?

Shopify Plus experience is preferred but not a dealbreaker. If you have strong Liquid templating skills and have worked on complex Shopify builds, we’d still love to talk. Plus‑specific features can be learned on the job.

4. What’s the tech stack beyond Shopify and WordPress?

You’ll work primarily with PHP, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+), and REST APIs. Git is standard workflow. Familiarity with Elementor, WPBakery, or Figma handoffs is a plus but not a hard requirement from day one.

5. Will I work directly with clients or only with internal teams?

You’ll primarily collaborate with internal designers and project managers. Depending on the project, you may join client calls to discuss technical scoping, feasibility, or post‑launch support — especially at the senior level.
