• You are familiar with Shopify CLI, Git-based workflows, and theme deployment best practices
• You have proven ability to implement advanced Shopify features (AJAX cart, predictive search, metafields, etc.)
• You have experience building responsive and accessible frontends
• You are a self-starter with excellent problem-solving and debugging skills
• You have strong attention to detail and ability to work autonomously

What we value:

• We seek the truth. We are empathetic. We listen intently. We do not pretend to know when we don't. We ask questions. We are objective. We are open-minded.
• We speak the truth. We are transparent. Opacity takes too much work. We have a point of view. We share our point of view. We say what we mean. We mean what we say.
• We optimize for outcomes. We celebrate results. We do things that make a difference. We hold ourselves and each other accountable. We are driven. We know what we need to do. We got this.
• We innovate together. We are collaborative. We accomplish more together. Our broad perspective is a superpower. We are clever and resourceful. We solve hard problems in clever ways. We are strength in numbers.
• We are brave. We are bold and ambitious. We are adventurous. We choose paths not travelled. We choose the hardest problems. We are the ones in the arena. We are the ones who knock.
