THE OPPORTUNITY This role exists because the company's customers are strong-opinionated consumer brands who need a dedicated technical partner turning their Shopify data into a polished, on-brand mobile app fast. In your first 90 days you'll take ownership of a set of live customer accounts and start shipping their implementation requests directly. By month 12, you'll be the go-to technical partner for a growing roster of brands, with a library of documented patterns behind you. If you get real satisfaction from taking a customer's ask in the morning and shipping it by afternoon, this is built for you. WHAT YOU'LL OWN * Scope, build, and ship customer implementation requests end to end, bundle builders with conditional pricing, custom PDP modules, loyalty-gated collections, segmented campaigns, personalized feeds, then move to the next one. * Turn a customer's existing Shopify data (product, variant, and collection metafields, metaobject entries) into correct, working app UI, quickly and repeatedly, this is the daily core of the job. * Lead new customer launches: audit their Shopify setup, map their custom data to the platform, configure their initial app, and ship a live launch in roughly 2–3 weeks. * Hold the long-term technical relationship for the accounts you onboard, you're the person who knows their store and what they care about. * Execute cleanly inside each customer's existing brand system, their colors, type, spacing, tone, so every build feels native to their brand, not templated. * Triage a request queue that always outpaces available hours, deciding what ships this week in partnership with the customer and the internal CS team. * Convert repeat problems into documented internal playbooks, and surface recurring customer asks to leadership as concrete product gaps. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR * 3–6 years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years shipping React Native in production, navigation, native modules, performance debugging, iOS/Android platform differences. * 2+ years working deeply inside the Shopify ecosystem, with production experience building metafield- and metaobject-driven UI (definitions, namespaces, ownership models, storefront access). * Hands-on production experience with the Shopify Admin API (GraphQL) and Storefront API, including schema traversal, pagination, and throttling. * Comfortable reading and writing Liquid fluently, and experienced modifying or building production Online Store 2.0 themes (sections, blocks, dynamic sources, app blocks). * Production experience with TypeScript, React, and Node in customer-facing products. * Real design judgment: design-literate, comfortable reading Figma files and extracting a brand's tokens, able to build cleanly inside an existing visual system rather than inventing a new one. * Comfortable communicating with customers daily through Slack and our support platform, with regular live calls as needed — scoping on the fly, and writing clearly (Slack updates, Loom walkthroughs, email). NICE TO HAVE * Background at a Shopify Partner agency, Shopify implementation shop, or Shopify app company — we've had strong results with people who come from fast-turnaround, client-facing service delivery. * Familiarity with Shopify Plus tooling, Functions, Checkout Extensibility, Flow, B2B, Markets. * Working knowledge of common e-commerce ecosystem tools (Klaviyo, Attentive, Recharge, Rebuy, Yotpo, Loop, Gorgias, Okendo or similar) and how they integrate with Shopify. * Exposure to headless commerce patterns (Hydrogen, Oxygen, or Next.js storefronts). * Deep Figma fluency, beyond reading and extracting tokens. TOOLS AND STACK: REACT NATIVE (IOS/ANDROID), TYPESCRIPT, REACT, NODE, SHOPIFY ADMIN & STOREFRONT APIS (GRAPHQL), LIQUID, FIGMA. HIRING DETAILS * Location: Remote, Latin America * Time Zone: US business-hours overlap (Eastern to Pacific all workable) * Type: Full-time ABOUT THE COMPANY A founder-led, AI-native mobile commerce platform that turns Shopify stores into fully native mobile apps. Their product currently powers the apps of 30+ well-known direct-to-consumer brands, with a combined reach of well over 10 million monthly US shoppers.
