Senior Shopify Engineer

The Mission
The Engineering team’s mission is bold and clear: To build a technology ecosystem that serves as a "poster-child" for how enterprise businesses leverage the Shopify ecosystem to achieve exceptional results with agility, speed, and efficiency.

The Role
You are a specialist. While others work on backend integration, you live and breathe and own the Shopify ecosystem. You will work within the Engineering team to build a modular, high-performance storefront theme. Your code is what our members interact with every day, you create the best practice version for others to work with. You will work closely with UX/UI designers to translate high-fidelity designs into pixel-perfect reality, and with Product Managers to ensure those designs are built as reusable components that empower our commercial teams to move fast.

Job Requirements

• Technical Mastery: Proven experience specifically developing on Shopify Plus. You know the Admin API, Storefront API, and Liquid inside out.
• Modern Frontend Skills: Proficiency in modern CSS and lightweight JavaScript frameworks.
• Tools And Systems: Comfortable using the command-line tool provided by Shopify to manage and develop themes and apps, along with using the version control system GitHub and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) automated systems for safely releasing updates to the storefront design.
• Attention To Detail: You care about the pixel-perfect implementation of a design and the "micro-interactions" that delight users.
• Commercial Mindset: You understand that the ultimate goal of your code is to help our customers and members buy amazing Skincare, Makeup, and Bodycare products.

Job Responsibilities

• Storefront Architecture: Develop and maintain our custom Shopify Plus theme. Write clean Liquid code that maximises the platform's native capabilities. Architect a library of "Sections" and "Blocks" that allow our eCommerce team to build landing pages dynamically without engineering support.
• Performance Obsession: Own the Core Web Vitals of the site. Relentlessly optimise CSS, JavaScript, and asset loading to ensure we are among the fastest beauty sites on the web. Implement "progressive enhancement" techniques to ensure the site feels instantaneous.
• Technological Agility: Utilise Shopify Functions and Checkout UI Extensions to customise the purchase flow (e.g., membership validation) in a way that is upgrade-safe and scalable when custom work is required, but prioritise using native or 3rd party capabilities when they make the most sense. Work with Full-Stack Engineers to consume custom APIs where native Shopify data isn't enough, ensuring the integration is seamless and secure.
• Quality & Standards: Champion accessibility (WCAG) standards in every line of code. Participate in code reviews, ensuring that we aren’t just "hacking it together" but are building a codebase that will last and that the team is proud of. Set best practice standards for the team to work from, paving the way and gently mentoring others around you to deliver.
