[Hiring] Senior Shopify Developer @stearis agency

Role Description

We’re hiring a Senior Shopify Developer who can take ownership and deliver fast — especially on Shopify app development — while also being strong on theme work and using AI tools (Cursor, etc.) as part of the daily workflow. If you’re a flexible problem-solver who ships and communicates clearly, you’ll fit well.

• Shopify App Development (main focus)
  • Build and maintain Shopify apps (embedded admin apps + backend services)
  • Work with Shopify Admin GraphQL, webhooks, app proxy, metafields/metaobjects
  • Implement auth, data sync, background jobs, and integrations (APIs, SFTP, PDFs, etc.)
  • Debug production issues end-to-end and ship fixes with clean PRs
• Shopify Theme Development
  • Implement and extend themes (Liquid, sections/blocks, JSON templates, Dawn patterns)
  • Build storefront features with JavaScript (cart behavior, UI logic, performance)
  • Integrate app outputs into storefront (theme app extensions, scripts, blocks)
• Basic Store Setup & Operations
  • Set up Shopify stores: products/collections, markets, shipping/taxes, payments, emails
  • Configure apps, theme structure, navigation, key pages, and basic QA
  • Document setup steps so others can repeat them
• AI-Assisted Development (daily)
  • Use Cursor (and similar tools) to speed up delivery
  • Write prompts, review AI output, and turn it into production-quality code
  • Use AI for debugging and testing — without lowering code quality

Qualifications

• Senior Shopify app development experience (real projects, not “installed apps”)
• Comfortable with Node.js, Shopify CLI, Admin GraphQL, webhooks
• Bonus: Remix/React + Polaris, Prisma/SQLite
• Strong Shopify theme development: Liquid, sections/blocks, JSON templates, JS storefront work
• Strong AI workflow: Can develop efficiently with Cursor (or similar), and still keep quality high
• Can set up basic Shopify stores: confident in the fundamentals (settings, markets, shipping/taxes, payments, emails)
• Self-managed + disciplined: You communicate daily, unblock yourself, and finish tasks without being pushed
• Git/PR workflow + clean handovers

Requirements

• Nice-to-have: Shopify Functions (Cart Transform), Checkout Extensibility
• VPS basics (Linux/SSH, logs, PM2, Caddy/Nginx)
• Performance and accessibility mindset
• Experience shipping apps to multiple stores/environments

Benefits

• Real ownership: you’ll run workstreams end-to-end
• Long-term pipeline: steady Shopify work across apps + stores + themes
• Fast decisions: no bureaucracy, no pointless meetings
• Modern stack: real-world app work (webhooks, app proxy, DB, deployments)
• AI-first workflow: you’re expected to use Cursor to move fast
• Growth path: evolve into Tech Lead and later lead other devs if you want
• Good salary: competitive salary based on experience
