Job description

Publishers Clearing House (PCH) is re-launching its iconic e-commerce business and we're looking for an experienced web developer to help spearhead our efforts.

This is a chance to modernize a beloved brand for the digital age. You'll work at the intersection of commerce, rewards, and membership—building the technical foundation for PCH's next chapter. You'll have direct influence on architecture decisions, revenue outcomes, and the experience for millions of members.

What Makes This Role Unique

Shape identity, membership, and architecture from the ground up
Real digital transformation at an iconic 70+ year old brand
High-impact work spanning commerce, rewards, and subscriptions
Direct collaboration with leadership and product stakeholders

What You'll Work On

Extend and maintain our Shopify storefront — themes, Liquid templating, apps, and APIs

Build headless front-end experiences — custom pages, dashboards, microsites, and Club member UI

Implement Stytch authentication as our primary identity system:

Session management and authenticated user states
Membership-aware UI (Club vs non-Club experiences)

Integrate headless front-ends with:

Shopify Storefront API (products, carts, checkout)
Shopify webhooks (orders, fulfillment, entitlements)
Internal APIs for rewards, entries, and promotions

Help define our hybrid architecture — strategically combining Shopify with headless capabilities

Optimize for performance, SEO, analytics, and conversion

Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, marketing, and compliance teams

Required Experience

Shopify Expertise:

Liquid templating
Shopify Storefront & Admin APIs
Theme customization and app integration

Headless Development:

React-based front-ends
Next.js or similar SSR-capable frameworks
API-driven architectures
Stytch or comparable auth providers (Auth0, Clerk, Firebase Auth)
Custom auth UI implementation (not just drop-in widgets)
Session handling, protected routes, and user state management

Core Skills:

HTML / CSS
RESTful and GraphQL APIs

Nice to Have

Experience with subscription or membership platforms
Rewards, loyalty, or promotional systems
Fraud prevention or abuse mitigation strategies
Vercel or AWS deployments
CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
Analytics and event tracking (Segment, Google Analytics, etc.)
Background on high-traffic consumer or e-commerce platforms

What We're Looking For

Builder mindset — pragmatic, fast-moving, and impact-focused
Hybrid comfort — equally at home working with platforms (Shopify) and custom code
Ownership orientation — able to see projects through from concept to launch
Collaborative approach — works well with non-technical stakeholders
Passion for quality — writes maintainable code and values user experience

Success in Your First 6 Months

Ship the new Stytch authentication system across key user flows
Launch at least one major headless experience (Club dashboard or custom landing pages)
Establish patterns and documentation for our hybrid architecture
Improve key conversion metrics and site performance
Become the go-to expert on our Shopify + headless stack

Our Team & Culture

You'll be joining a lean, collaborative engineering team that values pragmatism over perfection. We move quickly, ship iteratively, and focus on business impact. You'll work closely with our Engineering Lead and have direct access to product and executive leadership.

We're building a modern engineering culture at a legacy brand—which means you'll have the opportunity to establish best practices, choose tools, and influence technical direction.

Competitive salary based on experience
Medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus a range of additional voluntary benefits
401(k) with company match
Flexible PTO and 15 paid holidays to rest and reset
Remote-first culture with home office stipend
12 weeks of paid family leave to celebrate life’s biggest moments

Interview Process

Our interview process is simple and collaborative. You’ll start with a quick HR chat, then meet with the team to get to know each other and dive into your experience. Next, we’ll have a technical deep dive focused on Shopify, headless architecture, and past projects, followed by a code review or practical exercise. Final candidates will meet with leadership and product partners before an offer is made. We move quickly and aim to complete the process within two weeks of initial outreach!
