What you'll do

  • Own the Shopify store: theme, apps, checkout, settings, and integrations with subscription, email and analytics tools
  • Implement the A/B tests the team wants to run quickly and correctly, about eight a month today
  • Take over, harden, host properly and build the next internal AI-assisted tools for the creative team
  • Scope the planned iOS and Android app, pick the approach and the people, and run the build
  • Handle infrastructure and security: hosting, VPS maintenance, access control, backups, domains
  • Lead a Shopify developer and a web and brand designer from day one, set standards, review work and unblock people; AI builders join as the company grows
  • Help hire the SEO lead
  • Write and review code yourself and be the person the company calls when something technical breaks
  • Decide what gets built in-house and what gets bought

What we're looking for

  • Five or more years as a developer and at least two leading a small technical team or being the sole technical owner at a company
  • Deep Shopify knowledge: Liquid and OS 2.0 themes, apps and checkout extensibility, the common DTC app stack (Recharge or Skio, Klaviyo, a CRO tool, GA4)
  • Comfortable across the stack: a modern JavaScript or TypeScript codebase, a Python or Node backend, Linux servers, Git, basic networking and security
  • Build with AI tools every day and have shipped something real with them, and can explain what they are bad at
  • Have shipped or managed a mobile app, or can show how they would approach a first one
  • Communicate clearly in English with non-technical founders and say no when something is a bad idea
  • Based in Europe or within a few hours of Central European time; some overlap with US Eastern afternoons is needed
