Job Description
We are looking for a highly capable, hands-on Senior Full Stack Developer with 4–6 years of professional experience. This role is for a builder who understands both the how and why behind the code.
We aren’t looking for someone who simply stitches together frontend frameworks. Instead, we need a developer who can write clean, high-performance vanilla JavaScript, build reliable backend systems, and manage the infrastructure that powers them.
You will be responsible for building end-to-end web experiences, managing custom Shopify environments, and maintaining the backend systems and infrastructure that support them.

• Solve complex UI challenges without relying on frameworks such as React, Vue, or Angular

Custom Shopify Development
• Build and maintain custom Shopify themes using Liquid
• Implement advanced logic and custom functionality using Shopify APIs and Shopify Functions
Backend & Database Management
• Design, build, and maintain SQL databases
• Develop server-side logic using PHP
• Ensure systems are scalable, secure, and efficient
Infrastructure & Deployment
• Manage hosting and deployment environments on Heroku and AWS
• Configure and maintain Cron jobs for automated server-side processes
• Monitor system performance and troubleshoot infrastructure issues
System Integration
• Build and consume REST APIs to connect storefront systems with internal tools and third-party services
• Maintain reliable integrations and ensure smooth data flow across platforms
Requirements:
• 4–6 years of experience in a professional full-stack development role
• Expert-level knowledge of Shopify development, including Liquid, Shopify APIs, and Shopify Functions
• Strong proficiency in PHP, SQL, and Vanilla JavaScript
• Experience managing Heroku environments and backend deployments
• Ability to manage databases and perform migrations
• Experience setting up and maintaining server-side scheduled tasks (Cron)
Nice to Have
• Experience with programmatic image processing, generation, or manipulation
• Tools such as GD Library, ImageMagick, or Canvas
• Experience handling complex scripting, heavy data processing, or asset manipulation in real time
