- Collaborate with developers to keep builds clean, tidy, and maintainable.
Qualifications:
- Strong Shopify knowledge — Liquid, themes, apps, and platform nuance.
- 3–6 years of web experience (design, development, project management — any mix works).
- Solid front-end skills and an understanding of what makes a great website.
- Comfort with custom CMS platforms.
- Confidence communicating directly with clients using clear, jargon-free language.
- A strong sense of UX and how real people use the web.
- Organized yet easygoing — efficient without the over-engineered process.
- A solutions-first mindset and willingness to jump in.
- A creative approach paired with analytical thinking.

- Familiarity with WCAG accessibility standards.
- Strong front-end coding skills.
