The role may require travel to client offices once a quarter.

Experience Overview:

Candidates should have at least 7 years of Shopify experience, strong communication skills, extensive Headless architecture and Hydrogen expertise, and proficiency in React frameworks.

• Hands-on experience integrating Shopify with external systems such as ERP, OMS, WMS, PIM, CMS, and third-party SaaS platforms.
