If you are not highly skilled in both development and communication, this role will not be a fit.

  • Confidently communicate technical solutions to clients and project managers in clear English
  • Manage code using GitHub and work comfortably in an agency environment
  • Work US time zones with fast and consistent communication via Slack, Gmail, and ClickUp

  • Experience working with a Shopify-focused design and development agency
  • Ability to work US time zones (EST/CST/MST preferred; PST 8 am–5 pm ideal)
  • Comfortable using Slack, Gmail, and ClickUp (or similar) for daily communication and updates

This Role Is Not For You If
