About the Role
We’re looking for a Shopify Platform Developer to design, build, and scale modern eCommerce solutions on Shopify Plus. You’ll work at the intersection of commerce, data, and automation — building high performance storefronts, custom Shopify Functions, and backend integrations with marketing, fulfillment, and data platforms. This role is ideal for an engineer who loves end-to-end problem solving — from crafting high-performance storefront experiences to orchestrating complex data flows between Shopify, CDPs, CRMs, and ERPs.
Key Responsibilities
Platform & Architecture
- Design and build scalable Shopify Plus storefronts (Online Store 2.0, Hydrogen/Remix, or headless frameworks).
- Develop and deploy Shopify Functions (discounts, shipping, payments, custom logic).
- Implement and maintain Checkout Extensibility and App Bridge integrations.
- Architect private apps, middleware, and webhook/event systems that integrate with external systems (ERP, OMS, CDP, CRM, ESP).
- Own the Shopify Admin and Storefront GraphQL API layer — ensuring resilience, caching, and performance.
Integration & Data Engineering
- Design data flows between Shopify, CDPs, marketing automation, and analytics platforms.
- Implement event-driven architectures (Pub/Sub, queues, retries, idempotency).
- Maintain consistency and observability across systems with logging and monitoring tools.
Frontend Development
- Build responsive, accessible, and high-performance user interfaces using Liquid, React, or Hydrogen.
- Optimize Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) and follow modern SEO & accessibility standards.
Reliability, Security & Compliance
- Ensure PCI and GDPR/CCPA compliance across integrations and data flows.
- Implement best practices for secrets, token management, and error handling.
- Contribute to internal tools, CI/CD, code reviews, and performance testing.
Required Skills & Experience
- 5+ years in web/eCommerce development, including 2+ years focused on Shopify Plus.
- Strong expertise in Shopify Functions, Liquid, GraphQL (Admin/Storefront APIs).
- Advanced knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, React, and modern build pipelines.
- Experience with Hydrogen/Remix or headless architectures.
- Strong grasp of event-driven systems — webhooks, queues, retries, DLQs, and API resilience patterns.
- Experience integrating Shopify with ERP, OMS, CRM, CDP, and other SaaS systems.
- Familiarity with Klaviyo, Recharge, Intelligems, TripleWhale, or similar D2C apps.
- Solid understanding of CI/CD, GitHub Actions, testing, and deployment workflows.
- Strong problem-solving and documentation skills.
