Role Overview
Cymbiotika sells through retail partners and several other channels. Cymbiotika.com is our direct-to-consumer store: a Shopify storefront we own end to end, where most customers shop on their phones.
We're looking for a hands-on, mid-level Full Stack Engineer to help operate, maintain, and evolve our e-commerce platform. You'll work alongside in-house engineers, an outside development agency, and AI coding agents to build and improve the experiences our customers interact with every day.
Your work directly impacts business performance, including conversion, average order value, subscription uptake, site speed, uptime, and the accuracy of pricing and analytics. You'll take features from request to production, release them safely, and help keep the storefront fast, reliable, and stable through our biggest promotions.
This role offers the opportunity to own features end to end, contribute to architectural improvements, strengthen engineering standards, and work closely with the teams responsible for determining what gets built.
Key Responsibilities
Storefront Development & Architecture
- Platform Development: Build, maintain, and enhance our headless Shopify storefront using Hydrogen on Oxygen, React Router 7, TypeScript, Sanity CMS, and Shopify's Storefront and Admin APIs. Work within the existing architecture while identifying opportunities for improvement and reducing technical debt.
- Commerce & Checkout Experiences: Develop and maintain critical customer experiences, including product pages, buy boxes, cart, and checkout. Ensure the prices customers see match what they're charged, working with our promotions engine, Shopify Functions, Recharge subscriptions, and member pricing for our ARISE loyalty program.
- Third-Party Integrations: Implement and maintain integrations across our application ecosystem, including Recharge, Klaviyo, reviews, search, personalization, and analytics tools. Evaluate integrations for performance impact, reliability, and business value.
Engineering Collaboration & Development Practices
- Feature Planning & Execution: Translate requests from marketing, merchandising, and Customer Experience (CX) into well-scoped development work. Identify technical requirements, communicate trade-offs, and ask the right questions before implementation.
- Cross-Team Collaboration: Work with internal engineers and external development partners, participate in code reviews, and help maintain high standards for code quality, testing, and design implementation.
- AI-Assisted Development: Use AI coding agents, including Claude Code, Codex, and similar tools, as part of daily development workflows. Follow repository standards, isolate agent-generated changes in branches and preview environments, validate output against evidence, and protect credentials and customer information.
- CI/CD & Release Management: Follow established development and release processes, including pull requests, required CI checks, preview environments, production sign-offs, release freezes, and rollback procedures. Ensure changes are tested and approved before reaching customers.
Performance, Optimization & Growth
- Experimentation & Conversion Optimization: Build, deploy, and measure experiments involving buy box variants, promotional offers, and page layouts. Ensure accurate tracking and evaluate results based on measurable business outcomes.
- Site Performance & Reliability: Monitor and improve Core Web Vitals, uptime, and application error rates. Prioritize mobile performance and maintain stability during high-traffic periods.
- Technical SEO: Support technical search optimization through structured data, Google Merchant Center feeds, crawl budget management, and bot traffic monitoring in collaboration with the content team.
- Analytics & Data Integrity: Support GA4, tag management, server-side events, and data pipeline integrations. Investigate tracking discrepancies and help ensure accurate, reliable reporting.
Production Operations, Security & Reliability
- Launch & Promotional Readiness: Prepare the storefront for Black Friday, major campaigns, and promotional events through pricing validation, monitoring, testing, and rollback planning.
- Incident Response & Troubleshooting: Investigate production issues using application error tracking, edge logs, and other diagnostic tools. Identify root causes, implement fixes, and document findings to help prevent recurrence.
- Security & Compliance: Follow secure development practices, including secrets management, least-privilege access, and privacy and consent requirements across implemented features and integrations.
Additional Duties:
Perform other related duties, responsibilities, and special projects as assigned based on business needs and organizational priorities.
Onsite Collaboration:
This role requires regular onsite presence to support in-person collaboration, effective communication, cross-functional teamwork, and coordination with internal teams and external partners to achieve business objectives.

- TypeScript & React: Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React, including server-side rendering, streaming, caching strategies, and modern web application architecture.
- Subscription Commerce: Experience with Recharge or similar subscription platforms, with an understanding of how subscription pricing, promotions, and loyalty programs interact with checkout.
- AI Development Tools: Practical experience using AI coding agents as part of daily development, including task definition, code review, validation, and secure usage practices.
- Software Delivery: Experience with Git-based workflows, pull requests, automated testing, preview environments, and CI/CD release processes.
