Full Stack Developer (Shopify)

Full time, hybrid work

Salary - £40,000 - £50,000 per annum

Development is just cool, right? It goes from lines of code on a screen to an interactive piece, either on an application or on a website. We’ve come a long way from how we started and there is no field where making cool things that function well is more pressing and relevant than in e-Commerce. Ever since the dark age of 2020, retailers of all types have really woken up to the need for an effective e-Commerce platform. Most retailers don’t have the skills to make something that aligns with their brand, their vision, or that can make the journey for their customer the best experience they could want.

Who are we?

We’re Quickfire Digital - an award-winning eCommerce focused development agency, specialising in Shopify builds. We’re a busy agency with ambitious growth plans and a customer base that ranges from traditional retailers who require a complete management service through to some unique businesses who want a seamless way to get people to buy their products.

What is the job?

We are looking for someone who wants to go beyond just grinding out code. Our developers are very involved in discussing our projects and progress with clients. You will be building websites on Shopify, and we are also diversifying into application development and other areas when the project is right for the studio.

Your duties and responsibilities will include:

• Website builds for Shopify / Shopify Plus platforms.
• Assisting the Development team with all aspects of software design and coding.
• Attending and contributing to company development meetings.
• Engaging with clients, communicating what we need from them to progress to the next stage of the various projects.
• Learning the codebase and improving your coding skills.
• Writing and maintaining code.
• Providing code documentation with your work.
• Working on bug fixes.
• Responding to requests from the head of development and/or project management team to provide estimations and project milestone updates.
• Occasionally working on our internal projects.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for an experienced agency developer who has demonstrable full stack experience, used to the pace of working in a successful team and who is looking to make a step up in a senior role in their career. This is not the role for a junior developer at this point, so we do need to see demonstrable working experience. If you’ve been a solid front end developer for a few years and you’ve recently been dabbling in the full stack, we’d love to hear from you.

Essentially, we need a good, effective and competent developer who can hit the ground running and add some value, as this is a growth role for us due to some recent project wins and accounts expanding.

In terms of some high level information, we’re after:

• Extensive knowledge of front-end coding languages including CSS, HTML, and JavaScript.
• Familiarity with Vue.js or React is a plus, though not mandatory.
• Proficiency in Shopify Liquid is important.
• Experience with PHP, Laravel and MySQL is essential.
• Knowledge of Node.js is a positive.
• Proficient in working with REST and GraphQL APIs.
• Knowledge of database table design and infrastructure, including implementation best practices.
• Experience with data transposition, migration, and integration processes.
• Previous experience working in an agency environment is beneficial.
• Ability to work in a collaborative team setting with varying levels of expertise and under tight deadlines.
• Adaptability to a sprint-based environment is key for success and job satisfaction.

What’s in it for you?

We can offer you:

• A genuinely competitive salary for the Norfolk tech scene.
• Hybrid working (3 in office, 2 at home).
• The opportunity to travel, attend company events and visit clients.
• Free parking on site, and an office location that’s convenient for commutes.
• Enhanced holiday entitlement.
• Private medical cover.
• Company pension scheme.
• A bustling social events calendar.
• Half-yearly salary reviews, with regular rewards and incentives.
• Financial bonuses at Christmas if we’ve had a good year.
• The best biscuit drawer in all of Norfolk.

What is our interview process?

It’s really simple. A chat with our Head of People, followed by a competency interview with our Head of Development and one of our Senior Developers. A final stage interview with one of our co-founders, including a potential technical assessment. Then we offer. You say yes.

PS- we cannot and do not offer Visa sponsorship at this time.
