About Retailogists
Retailogists sits at the intersection of business and technology in the retail industry. We provide end-to-end consulting and client services while also building in-house products like Avia (https://www.retailogists.com/avia). Our team works with leading retail and e-commerce clients on complex projects, with deep expertise across multiple technical domains.
Our e-commerce engineering team is a lean and high-impact squad of veteran full stack engineers with a focus on Shopify development. If you're a seasoned Shopify developer with full stack expertise who's tired of cookie-cutter projects, this is a role where your expertise will have real impact.
Role Overview
We're looking for a Senior Shopify Developer to join our team and take ownership of complex, client-facing e-commerce builds and migrations. You'll be an owner on Shopify and other projects — both headless and native — working alongside our engineering and consulting teams to deliver best-in-class retail experiences.
Responsibilities
* Architect and develop sophisticated Shopify storefronts, both headless (Hydrogen/custom) and native (Liquid/OS 2.0).
* Lead technical delivery on client e-commerce projects from scoping through launch.
* Build custom Shopify apps, integrations, and theme components to meet complex business requirements.
* Collaborate closely with designers, PMs, and clients to translate requirements into polished, high-performance experiences.
* Conduct code reviews, enforce best practices, and help uphold engineering standards across the team.
* Integrate third-party platforms and APIs (ERP, PIM, OMS, loyalty, marketing tools, etc.).
* Contribute to the development of our internal products.
Requirements
* 4+ years of professional Shopify development experience, with a strong portfolio of complex builds.
* Deep expertise in Shopify's ecosystem: Liquid, Shopify CLI, Theme OS 2.0, Metafields, and the Storefront/Admin APIs.
* Public portfolio of Shopify projects
* Experience with headless Shopify implementations (Hydrogen, custom React/Next.js frontends).
* Proficiency in modern JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and related front-end tooling.
* Strong back-end chops — Node.js (or equivalent backend frameworks in other languages), REST/GraphQL APIs, and third-party integrations.
* Solid Git workflow experience (branching, PRs, code review).
* Experience with GenAI augmented engineering workflows (Claude, Cursor etc.).
* Excellent communication skills — you'll be interfacing with clients and cross-functional teams regularly.
* Ability to work Eastern Time hours (core overlap required).
Nice to Have
* Experience with Wix, Magento, or other e-commerce platforms.
* Familiarity with retail-specific integrations (ERP, PIM, OMS, loyalty platforms).
* Background in retail or e-commerce.
What We Offer
* Fully remote role, open to candidates anywhere in the world (Eastern Time availability required).
* Preference for candidates in or near the Greater Toronto Area (Canada).
* Competitive compensation commensurate with experience.
* Opportunity to work on high-impact, technically challenging projects across a diverse retail client base.
* A collaborative team that values craft, autonomy, and getting things done.
