About The Role

The Senior Front-End Developer is a hands-on technical role responsible for delivering exceptional e-commerce experiences by leveraging Shopify themes and frameworks.

  • Distill complex requirements into clear, actionable tasks and delegate to engineering team members as needed.
  • Lead headless commerce initiatives, including building with frameworks like Hydrogen, Next.js, and React.
  • Optimize performance, accessibility, and SEO for all front-end implementations.
  • Work with Shopify APIs, Functions, Extensions, and other ecosystem components to deliver advanced features.
  • Integrate third-party systems such as CMS (e.g., Contentful), ERP (e.g., Netsuite), and subscription solutions (e.g., Recharge).
  • Mentor and lead junior engineers, conducting code reviews and promoting best practices.
  • Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Designers, and other stakeholders to ensure project goals and delivery timelines are aligned.
  • Identify risks proactively, provide actionable solutions, and ensure project deadlines are met.
  • Contribute to internal development processes, tools, and documentation to enhance team productivity and collaboration.

  • Strong communication skills, oral and written; experienced in writing technical documentation and presenting to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Excellent organizational and problem-solving skills.
  • Thorough knowledge of web performance, web accessibility, API request handling, component structure, and design systems.
