Job description

Proppel is a recruitment agency connecting top talent across the US, Canada, and Latin America with opportunities at some of the most exciting companies in the world.

Whether you are looking for your next role or the right move to advance your career, we will make it happen.

What we're looking for

A fast-growing US-based e-commerce company is looking for a Senior Shopify Developer to take full technical ownership of its Shopify environment. This is a senior, high-ownership role where you won't just work through a ticket queue; you'll define how the company's stores are built, scaled, and maintained. You'll start as a developer, with real potential to grow into an engineering lead as the team expands.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own the company's main US Shopify store, the top priority and primary revenue driver, and support edits across roughly five additional stores.
• Clean up and simplify the existing codebase and CMS setup for long-term maintainability.
• Set up, run, and analyze A/B and split tests across key pages and templates.
• Improve page speed, mobile responsiveness, and technical SEO across the store.
• Build custom sections, templates, and dynamic components using Shopify's Online Store 2.0 framework.
• Lead a longer-term project to consolidate stores into a Shopify Markets model.

Requirements

• 6+ years of front-end development experience, with several years specifically in Shopify at a senior or lead level.
• Deep, hands-on knowledge of the Shopify CMS, native tools, and Online Store 2.0 architecture (JSON templates, sections, blocks, metafields, metaobjects).
• Proven experience building custom Shopify apps using Shopify's APIs (Admin, Storefront, App Bridge).
• Experience setting up and analyzing A/B and split tests on Shopify.
• Comfort being the sole development resource, with strong project management instincts and the ability to work independently.
• Familiarity with using AI tools for optimization work.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Shopify Markets or similar multi-region, multi-currency, or multi-language setups.
• Shopify Plus and Shopify Functions.
• Headless or composable Shopify setups (Hydrogen, Storefront API-driven front ends).
• Node.js or backend experience supporting custom app development, plus Git and CI/CD workflows.
• 20 days of Paid Time Off.
• US holidays.
