full stack engineer Remote
Job description
We are seeking a highly-experienced Independent Contractor/Freelance Expert Full-Stack Web Developer to join our team of talented freelancers and assist with resolving complex issues for our eCommerce clients. Our clients predominantly operate within the Shopify ecosystem, utilizing popular apps such as Recharge Payments, Yotpo, Klaviyo, and Klarna. As a developer, you will not be building complete sites, but rather troubleshooting existing ones and implementing innovative solutions to enhance their functionality. This could involve improving Shopify apps, developing custom discount solutions, creating tailored reporting solutions, and resolving any operational issues.
A comprehensive understanding of the Shopify ecosystem is essential, encompassing theme and template development languages, liquid syntax, and the Shopify API. This role requires you to join client calls and be available during US business hours.
This position is well-suited for established freelancers seeking to expand their client base, or for individuals in a flexible full-time position looking to take on additional work. Our vetting process is rigorous, including application questions, sample work, written interview questions, a Zoom interview, and potentially an unpaid test project.
