Shopify Integration Engineer

About the Role

Recurly Commerce is Recurly's direct-to-consumer subscription commerce layer, built to power subscriber acquisition and retention for the world's most ambitious brands. As a Shopify Integration Engineer you will be the subject-matter expert at the intersection of the Shopify ecosystem and Recurly's Commerce platform, owning the architecture, implementation, and evolution of integrations that connect Shopify storefronts to Recurly's subscription billing engine.

You will work in TypeScript across both the frontend (Shopify themes, custom storefronts) and backend (Node.js services, webhooks, Shopify Admin & Storefront APIs), and collaborate closely with product, design, and customer success to deliver integrations that feel native to merchants and resilient at scale.

What You'll Do
Integration Architecture & Development

• Design and build Shopify app integrations — public, custom, and embedded — using TypeScript and Shopify's latest APIs (Admin REST & GraphQL, App Bridge, Checkout Extensions).
• Improve end-to-end subscription flows that bridge Shopify's checkout with Recurly Commerce's subscription lifecycle management.
• Develop and maintain Shopify Functions, Checkout UI extensions, and Theme App Extensions to deliver seamless subscriber experiences.
• Evolve the webhook infrastructure that keeps Shopify order/customer data in sync with Recurly's platform in real time.
• Lead merchant migrations from third-party billing platforms — including Recharge, Appstle, Bold Subscriptions, and Skio — to Recurly Commerce, including data mapping, subscriber record transfer, and cutover coordination.

Platform Ownership

• Serve as the internal authority on Shopify's evolving platform: app review requirements, Partner program policies, Shopify Markets, B2B Commerce, and Checkout extensibility.
• Monitor Shopify changelog and platform announcements; proactively identify breaking changes and lead mitigation efforts before they impact merchants.
• Define and document integration patterns, best practices, and runbooks for the Commerce engineering team.

Merchant & Partner Enablement

• Work directly with strategic merchant accounts during onboarding to scope, configure, and troubleshoot their Shopify + Recurly Commerce integration.
• Collaborate with Recurly's Solutions Engineering and Customer Success teams to
translate merchant requirements into robust technical implementations.
• Contribute to developer documentation, code samples, and Shopify-specific guides that
accelerate merchant self-service.

Quality & Reliability

• Write well-tested, well-typed TypeScript code; champion code review practices and shared engineering standards across the team.
• Instrument integrations with observability tooling (logging, tracing, alerting) and own incident response for integration-layer issues.
• Optimize for performance and reliability at scale — Shopify flash sales, subscription renewal spikes, and burst traffic are part of the job.

Requirements:
Required

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years focused on Shopify app or integration development.
• Deep hands-on expertise with Shopify's API surface: Admin API (REST & GraphQL), Storefront API, Webhooks, Checkout Extensions, and App Bridge.
• Strong TypeScript proficiency — you default to strong typing and treat type safety as a feature, not an afterthought.
• Demonstrated experience building Node.js backend services, REST or GraphQL APIs, and event-driven/webhook architectures.
• Familiarity with Shopify's app review, Partner Dashboard workflows, and the requirements for listing in the Shopify App Store.
• Solid understanding of OAuth 2.0, HMAC verification, and the security considerations unique to Shopify app authentication.
• Experience with subscription billing concepts: recurring charges, dunning, proration, trial
periods, and lifecycle state machines.

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with Recurly's APIs or another subscription management platform (Chargebee, Stripe Billing, Zuora).
• Experience with Shopify Plus features: Script Editor, Flow automations, B2B/wholesale, Checkout.liquid migration to Checkout Extensions.
• Exposure to Shopify Markets, multi-currency, and multi-region commerce architectures.
• Background in e-commerce or subscription DTC brands — you understand the merchant mindset and what "good" looks like from the store owner's perspective.
• Experience contributing to a public Shopify app or open-source Shopify tooling
