5+ years' hands-on Shopify development experience

Why Join? This is an opportunity to move beyond a traditional Shopify Developer position and take genuine ownership of complex ecommerce solutions.
You'll work directly with clients, influence technical direction, remain hands-on with the platform and play an important role in the continued development of the organisation's Shopify and AI-enabled ecommerce capability.
