Shopify Developer (Remote, Full-Time)

Job Description

Blue Strout is a Shopify-focused development agency partnering with high-growth eCommerce brands generating 8–9 figures in annual revenue. We’re hiring a Shopify Developer (Shopify Plus / OS 2.0) to join our delivery team and build high-performing storefronts from design to launch.

This is an agency environment: fast-moving, high standards, and heavy collaboration. You’ll turn client goals + Figma designs into clean, scalable Shopify code, own deliverables end to end, and communicate clearly with PMs and (occasionally) clients in English.

Location: Remote (LATAM-friendly)

Time zones: Must work Pacific Time or Eastern Time and maintain 4-5 hours overlap with PT

Responsibilities

• Build and customize Shopify Plus Online Store 2.0 themes (often using Dawn)

• Translate Figma → pixel-perfect Shopify templates (sections, blocks, and page templates)
• Build landing pages from templates and Figma files
• Configure and implement Shopify Plus features and admin settings (discounts, shipping rules, advanced settings)
• Customize checkout and Plus functionality using Shopify Functions (and stay current with Checkout Extensibility)
• Implement advanced collection filtering using Tags, Metafields, and MetaObjects
• Implement and configure Shopify Plus apps (e.g., ReBuy, YotPo, SYWM, and similar)
• Improve performance and SEO: Core Web Vitals, speed optimization, heading structure, canonical/noindex tagging
• Implement ADA fixes and build ADA-compliant templates (with guidance from the PM team)
• Maintain clean version control workflows using GitHub and collaborate via ClickUp + Slack
• Occasionally explain technical constraints/tradeoffs to PMs or stakeholders when needed

Requirements

• Strong English (written + verbal) and excellent communication: quick, detailed Slack/ClickUp updates; can explain solutions clearly.
• 3+ years building for Shopify Plus (DTC preferred; $10–50M revenue brands is a plus)
• Shopify Plus OS 2.0 themes: can build/customize from scratch and with Dawn; pixel-perfect Figma → storefront
• Core build work: landing pages from templates/Figma; performance optimization + Core Web Vitals; SEO template structure (H tags, canonical/noindex); ADA fixes/compliance templates
• Plus features: configure admin settings (discounts, shipping, advanced sales); checkout customization with Functions; stay current on Checkout Extensibility + Markets
• Data layer/tools: GA4 + Ads tracking + GTM in Shopify and Shopify Checkout
• Workflow: GitHub-based theme code management; experience in a Shopify-focused agency;
• Able to work US time zones (PST ideal, ET acceptable with overlap)

Benefits

• Work with high-growth eCommerce brands at meaningful scale (8–9 figure revenue range)
• High autonomy: we don’t micromanage—ownership and accountability are valued
• Clear structure and collaboration: weekly priorities, strong PM + design partnership, supportive dev leadership
• Healthy culture and work-life balance: disconnect means disconnect (except true production emergencies)
• Long-term opportunity: steady client demand with room to grow into broader ownership over time
