About the Company:
A minimalist beauty brand that makes it impossible to mess up products for a multi-generational community. Designed by makeup consumers — not artists — the brand was created as the antidote to the overwhelming world of beauty.

We simplify what it takes to get ready by creating only well-edited essentials that help you do more with less. With minimalism at its core, the brand remains intentional in the products it creates, spending years perfecting every detail to ensure it’s not just another product but one that you can live with for years to come.

You’ll work closely with our Senior Developer and Director of Digital Product & E-commerce—contributing to the technical direction of the website, shipping new features, and helping us build an international site experience that reflects the same level of intention we bring to our products.

If you are a creative problem solver, passionate about creating seamless online experiences geared towards conversion, and have a proven track record in Shopify Plus development, we invite you to apply and be a part of our team.

• Strong knowledge of Git/GitHub including branching workflows and code review
• Experience with custom Shopify apps, extensions, and functions
