We are seeking an experienced Frontend Developer with strong React, React Router, and Shopify Hydrogen experience to help maintain and improve our existing headless ecommerce storefront and potentially support future migrations of additional ecommerce sites to Shopify/Hydrogen.
This is primarily a frontend role. Our internal team handles much of the backend product and catalog data work, but this developer should understand the broader Shopify ecosystem and be comfortable troubleshooting issues involving Shopify APIs, third-party integrations, search, CMS, analytics, and
customer-facing functionality. Strong UI/UX judgment is also important. We are not looking for a dedicated designer, but we need someone who can take business requirements and rough mockups, identify usability or technical limitations, recommend practical alternatives, and translate them into polished ecommerce experiences.

📌 Responsibilities

Maintain and improve custom Shopify Hydrogen storefront using React and React Router
Build responsive, accessible interfaces using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Work with Shopify's Storefront API, GraphQL, collections, products, variants, metafields, and other Shopify data
Translate business requirements and rough mockups into intuitive, functional ecommerce experiences
Evaluate proposed features for technical feasibility and recommend alternatives when API or platform limitations exist
Troubleshoot issues across the storefront, Shopify data/APIs, browser behavior, and third-party integrations
Work with Storyblok headless CMS and Algolia search and recommendation functionality
Implement and troubleshoot ecommerce analytics and marketing integrations
Support ecommerce SEO requirements including redirects, canonical tags, structured data, breadcrumbs, metadata, and indexability
Improve frontend performance, usability, and maintainability
Communicate technical constraints, tradeoffs, and recommendations clearly to technical and nontechnical team members
Work effectively within and improve an existing custom codebase

📌 Required Qualifications

Strong proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, and React Router
Professional experience with Shopify Hydrogen and headless commerce
Experience with Shopify APIs and GraphQL
Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
Good UI/UX judgment and experience translating designs or wireframes into functional interfaces
Ability to evaluate technical feasibility and recommend practical solutions
Experience working with APIs and third-party integrations
Excellent English communication skills
Ability to work independently and take ownership of projects and problems

📌 Preferred Qualifications

Experience with Shopify theme architecture and customization
Experience with Storyblok or another headless CMS
Experience with Algolia in React or headless ecommerce environments
Experience with ecommerce analytics and event tracking, including GA4
Experience with Klaviyo or similar marketing integrations in a headless environment
Experience with ecommerce SEO and site migrations
Experience migrating established ecommerce sites from custom platforms to Shopify/Hydrogen
Experience with performance optimization, Git, testing, and deployment workflows

📌 Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a pragmatic, solution-oriented frontend developer who combines strong technical skills with good UI/UX judgment. They should be comfortable working in a customized ecommerce environment, identifying problems beyond the immediate frontend task, and collaborating with both
technical and non-technical team members.
We value someone who can not only build what is requested, but also recognize when a proposed approach may create usability or technical problems and recommend a better solution.
