Careers - Shopify Developer
About the role
You build front-end components and styles, working with your development peers and the design team to bring interactive concepts to life.
About you
- You have a well-thought perspective on development, while also maintaining a curious flexibility and willingness to consider other perspectives, technologies, and tools. You apply the one that works best in the case at hand.
- You're okay with ambiguity or unknowns because you're a diligent problem-solver and answer-finder. Google (et al), Stack Overflow (et al), and Slack channels are your friends.
- You're appreciative of good design, with the belief that anyone involved in creating a product is, on some level, a designer. You always consider how clients and their customers will interact with the experiences we build.
- You have a Jobsian view of development: that no matter the beauty of the exterior, if the interior is trash... well, the whole thing is. That the unseen components should be as intricately detailed as those seen every day.
