- Participate in code reviews, unit testing, and technical validation;

- Work with the broader development team to ensure best practices in security and performance;

- Support Project Management with effort estimates and planning;

- Proactively identify and remove technical roadblocks.

MUST HAVES

- 4+ years of professional Shopify development experience;

- Deep knowledge of Shopify Plus and its unique features;

- Solid understanding of the Systems Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and modern development methodologies;

- Proven experience with page performance optimization, front-end caching, CDNs, and secure development practices;

- Strong ability to diagnose and resolve site issues using commercial and open-source tools;

- Exceptional verbal and written communication skills;

- Customer-first mindset, patience, and empathy;

- Logical approach to problem-solving, attention to detail, and commitment to continuous learning and adaptability;

- Familiarity with Jira and collaborative development environments;

- Previous experience in customer service or dedicated technical support roles;

- Exposure to Salesforce Commerce Cloud or other enterprise eCommerce platforms.
