Shopify Developer - £40,000-£50,000
Hybrid (3 days onsite) - Leeds City Centre or Liverpool
Are you an experienced Shopify Developer looking to work on exciting, high-impact eCommerce projects? This is a great opportunity to join a well-established digital team working with impressive clients across multiple sectors. With offices in prime Leeds city centre and Liverpool, you'll enjoy a fantastic working environment, great culture, and a genuinely collaborative atmosphere.
This role suits someone who thrives in a busy, creative environment and enjoys building high-quality, scalable Shopify solutions, both on the storefront and at system level.
The Role
As a Senior Shopify Developer, you'll be a key part of a dedicated development team delivering cutting-edge Shopify builds, custom themes, and high-performing eCommerce features. Although the role is primarily Front End-focused, you'll also collaborate with Back End developers to support Shopify app development and contribute to more complex system integrations when needed.
You'll work closely with designers, PMs, and fellow developers, bringing strong technical ownership and a problem-solving mindset to each project.
What You'll Be Doing
- Developing and customising Shopify themes using Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
- Implementing new features that enhance UX, performance, and conversion
- Integrating APIs and third-party services to expand store functionality
- Ensuring stores are optimised for performance, reliability, and SEO
- Supporting Back End work (PHP/Laravel) for Shopify app maintenance and enhancements
- Diagnosing and resolving complex Shopify-related issues
- Participating in code reviews and knowledge-sharing
- Contributing to sprint planning, task estimation, and delivery within an Agile setup
What We're Looking For
You're a confident Shopify specialist who writes clean, maintainable code and enjoys owning tasks while working closely with others.
You'll likely have:
- 2-3+ years of professional Shopify development experience
- Strong skills in Liquid, HTML, CSS, JavaScript
- Experience with Shopify APIs and custom integrations
- Practical exposure to PHP/Laravel for app-level support
- Good understanding of responsive design and browser compatibility
- Experience working in Agile teams (Scrum, Kanban)
- Familiarity with tools like Jira, Trello, or Asana
- Solid understanding of Git and collaborative workflows
Nice to Have
- Experience with Shopify Hydrogen/Oxygen or headless commerce
- Knowledge of React frameworks (Remix, Next.js)
- Experience with Theme App Extensions
- Strong grasp of performance optimisation & Core Web Vitals
- Experience with PageSpeed Insights improvements
- Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and automated deployments
Why This Role Stands Out
- Hybrid working (3 days onsite in Leeds or Liverpool)
- Work with ambitious brands on complex Shopify builds
- Join a decent-sized, supportive dev team with strong engineering standards
- Clear progression opportunities
- Modern office locations with a great atmosphere and work culture
- Opportunities to develop your skills in both Front End and Shopify app development
If you're a Senior Shopify Developer who loves creating high-quality eCommerce experiences and wants to grow your skills in a fast-moving environment, this role could be a great fit.
