Position Overview

The Shopify Developer is a senior, hands-on developer who builds and ships Shopify work to a high standard, working to direction set by a Shopify Tech Lead (STL). This is a delivery role rather than a consulting one: the Developer does not own scoping, solutioning with the client, or the client relationship. They own the quality, accuracy and timeliness of what they build.

The role is expected to be deeply capable on Shopify Plus: Liquid and theme architecture, the Plus extension surfaces including Checkout UI Extensions and Customer Account Extensions, Functions, Markets, and the Storefront and Admin APIs. Hydrogen and React experience is valuable where middleware, an API proxy layer or headless components form part of a solution.

The Developer works within scope that has already been defined, but is not expected to consume a ticket passively. They estimate it honestly, interrogate it for gaps, ambiguity and hidden dependencies before starting, flag anything that looks like scope movement, and test their own work properly before it leaves their hands.

Client communication sits with the Shopify Tech Lead and the Project Manager. The Developer is not client-facing, but is expected to be an excellent communicator internally: clear written updates, early flags, and the confidence to challenge a task that does not make sense.

Reporting Structure

Solid line: Shopify Practice Lead, who owns standards, tooling, workflow and team capability.

Day to day direction: Shopify Tech Lead on each assigned account. The Tech Lead sets the technical approach, assigns and prioritises work, and provides performance input to the Practice Lead.

Key Responsibilities

Development Delivery

Build Shopify storefront, theme, app and integration work to the agreed technical approach, meeting Amblique's coding standards and the client's acceptance criteria.

Work from scope and solutions defined by the Shopify Tech Lead or Solution Architect. Deliver to that design, and surface any point where it does not survive contact with implementation.

Deliver across BAU support, dedicated team retainers, mini projects and implementation projects, understanding that the engagement model changes the process and the tolerance for scope movement.

Fix defects raised in QA, UAT and post-go-live on own work within the agreed defect process, distinguishing genuine defects from change requests and raising the latter per Change Management processes.

Support deployment, release and go-live activity for own work, including environment checks and post-release verification.

Estimation & Scope Protection

Produce accurate, defensible estimates for assigned work, including allowance for testing, review and deployment, and provide them within the turnaround agreed with the Shopify Tech Lead & PM.

Protect agreed scope. Where a request grows beyond what was estimated or approved, stop and flag it rather than absorbing it.

Quality & Developer QA

Test own work before it is handed on: functional testing against acceptance criteria, cross-browser and responsive checks, and regression checks on the areas touched.

Participate in code review, both as author and reviewer, and act on feedback rather than relitigating it.

Internal Process & Communication

Treat Jira as the system of record. Work, decisions, blockers and time logging belong on the ticket, not in chat threads.

Resolve confusion at the earliest point. Where direction or priority is unclear, ask in standup or directly rather than proceeding on assumption.

Qualifications & Experience

5 or more years of hands-on Shopify development, with significant time on Shopify Plus and enterprise merchant configurations.

Deep Liquid and theme architecture capability, including performance-conscious storefront development.

Hands-on experience with Shopify Plus extension surfaces, including Checkout UI Extensions and Customer Account Extensions.

Strong working knowledge of Shopify Functions, Markets, and the Storefront and Admin APIs.

Experience with custom Shopify app development, public and private.

Proven ability to produce accurate estimates and deliver to a defined scope in an agency or professional services environment.

Excellent written and verbal English: able to explain technical detail clearly in writing and verbally, and to raise problems early and directly.
