We are seeking a pragmatic Full Stack Developer to navigate the gap in our custom headless architecture. The role involves:

• Building and maintaining fully custom Shopify Hydrogen storefronts using React Router.

• Debugging and optimizing the full data flow from React components through GraphQL to backend systems.
• Extending and maintaining Python/Django code powering GraphQL API integrations.
• Building custom middleware and integrations for our headless stack.
• Modifying data exchange layers and API endpoints as business requirements evolve.
• Navigating and enhancing the monolithic Django codebase.
• Managing software-defined infrastructure for Hydrogen deployments.
• Owning the deployment toolchain from local development through production.
• Translating ambiguous business requests into technical approaches.
• Identifying when requirements touch core architecture and escalating strategically.
• Communicating technical constraints to non-technical stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Strong frontend proficiency in HTML, CSS, and modern React.
• Hands-on experience with Shopify Hydrogen and headless commerce architecture.
• Solid Python skills with Django experience.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and deploying to serverless/edge platforms.
• Experience with Shopify's GraphQL APIs.
• Strong English communication skills.
• Full-time availability (40 hours/week).

Requirements

• Experience working in "Shopify-but-not-really-Shopify" environments.
• Experience migrating Liquid storefronts to Hydrogen.
• Experience managing large-scale product catalogs (100K+ SKUs).
• Familiarity with feed syndication, search integration, or headless CMS workflows.
• React Router experience outside Hydrogen contexts.

Benefits

• Remote Work: Work from anywhere—our team is global, and we value work-life balance.
• Growth Opportunities: As a key player, you’ll have the chance to shape your role and grow with us.
• Innovative Culture: Join a team that is passionate about leveraging data to solve challenges.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Pragmatic problem-solver: Able to navigate real constraints without defaulting to "that won't work."
• Full-stack fluency: Capable of tracing issues across the entire stack and implementing end-to-end solutions.
• Judgment on autonomy: Knows when to handle tasks independently and when to escalate.
• Adaptable to ambiguity: Can ask clarifying questions and implement or flag complexity.
• Ecosystem navigator: Understands the differences in Shopify contexts and can bridge gaps for stakeholders.
• Mentee-ready: Comfortable being the "reverse half" of a mentor relationship with the CTO.
