[Hiring] Shopify Plus developer @Blue Stout

Role Description

We are hiring a Shopify Plus Developer who can own deliverables end to end, communicate fluently with clients and teams, and perform under real agency pressure. This is not an entry-level role, and it is not for developers who need hand-holding, disappear after applying, or overstate their experience on a resume.

What You Must Be Able to Do:

• Build and customize Shopify Plus 2.0 themes from scratch — not just edit existing ones
• Translate Figma designs into pixel-perfect, high-performing storefronts
• Explain your technical decisions clearly to clients and project managers in plain English
• Manage code via GitHub in a multi-developer agency environment
• Work US time zones (EST–PST) with fast, consistent communication across Slack, Gmail, and ClickUp

Core Technical Responsibilities:

• Code Shopify Plus 2.0 Liquid themes from scratch and using the Dawn base theme
• Translate Figma designs into pixel-perfect Shopify Plus templates
• Build and optimize landing pages from Figma files and existing templates
• Optimize site speed against Google Core Web Vitals benchmarks
• Configure GA4, Google Ads tracking, and GTM within Shopify and Shopify Checkout
• Configure Shopify Plus admin settings: discounts, shipping rules, scripts, and functions
• Customize Shopify Plus Checkout using Checkout Extensibility and Functions
• Build custom collection filters using Tags, Metafields, and Metaobjects
• Implement and configure advanced Shopify apps (ReBuy, Yotpo, SYWM, etc.)
• Build SEO-optimized page templates with correct heading structure, canonical tags, and noindex logic
• Implement ADA-compliant fixes and templates based on PM direction
• Stay current on Shopify Plus releases: Checkout Extensibility, Functions, Markets

This Role Is Not For You If:

• You apply to roles without reading the full description
• You've accepted interview invitations in the past and then disappeared
• You've never built a Shopify Plus 2.0 theme from the ground up
• You struggle to explain technical work to non-technical stakeholders in English
• You inflate your resume and figure it'll sort itself out in the interview
• You need someone to define every task before you can start

Qualifications

• Strong written and spoken English — this will be tested, not just listed
• Able to explain code and technical decisions to non-developers clearly and concisely
• Responds to Slack and ClickUp messages promptly with context, not just "ok"
• Comfortable presenting work on live client calls without a script

Requirements

• 3+ years of Shopify Plus development for DTC brands (brands in the $10M–$50M revenue range strongly preferred)
• Proven experience building and owning Shopify Plus 2.0 themes — not just theme edits
• GitHub-based theme version control in an agency setting
• Prior experience at a Shopify-focused development agency
• Available during US business hours — EST/CST/MST preferred; PST coverage from 8am–5pm is ideal
• Responsive and consistent — we notice when developers go quiet
