  • Custom Storefront Development : Build highly customized Shopify storefronts, extending the capabilities of Shopify's headless eCommerce model to meet unique client needs.
  • Backend Solutions : Work with Node.js and PHP in conjunction with Shopifys backend to develop and optimize server-side features for large-scale, performance-driven websites.
  • Performance Optimization : Ensure optimal site performance, fast load times, and scalable architecture that can handle traffic spikes and high conversion rates.
  • Client Collaboration : Work closely with clients and project managers to understand business goals, providing technical guidance to deliver bespoke eCommerce solutions.
  • Technical Leadership : Mentor junior developers and guide best practices for code quality, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Maintenance & Troubleshooting : Provide ongoing support for existing Shopify stores, handling issues promptly and ensuring the continued smooth operation of client websites.

  • Expertise in back-end optimization, including caching strategies, server management, and database optimization.
  • Experience with Git for version control.
  • Solid knowledge of SEO best practices for Shopify stores.
  • Frontend Skills : While this role does not require frontend development, familiarity with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for collaborating with frontend developers is a plus.

Soft Skills

  • Excellent communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams and clients.
  • Detail-oriented, with a focus on delivering high-quality, scalable solutions.
