Shopify Developer (Ongoing, Part Time)
Summary
Build and maintain Shopify stores from Figma designs, including theme development, store setup, migrations, and QA, ensuring clients can manage their sites independently.
You'll be responsible for the development side of our client projects, working directly with the founder.
- Building custom Shopify themes from Figma designs, with close attention to spacing, typography, and responsive behaviour
- Store setup and configuration: theme installation, apps, payment and shipping settings, domains and DNS, analytics
- Structuring product data properly — collections, variants, and metafields
- Store migrations and data imports from existing platforms
- Cross-browser and cross-device QA, plus pre-launch checks and redirects
- Flagging ambiguities or gaps in a brief early rather than guessing
Success looks like: clients can update their own sites confidently after launch, projects ship on schedule, and the founder isn't needed to check your work.
- 2+ years hands-on Shopify development, with stores you can show us
- Strong Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
- You build in sections and blocks so clients can edit their own content without a developer
- You use metafields properly rather than putting structured content into product descriptions
- Confident working from Figma and matching a design closely
- Mobile-first in practice, not as an afterthought
- Strong written English and proactive, async communication
- Independent — this role exists so the founder can step back from execution, not to be project-managed
- Approximately 40 hours per month, around 10 hours per week on average. Some weeks will be heavier depending on where a project sits in its phase.
- Fully remote, flexible hours — we care about output and communication, not when you're online
- Ongoing contract with room to grow as the studio takes on more work
- Paid in USD ($15-30 per hour)
- Hiring process: short intro call, then a paid test project (up to 5 hours, paid at your rate)
