Talentedge Tech are looking for a Senior Shopify Engineer to join a small but high-performing engineering team building a best-in-class digital commerce experience for a fast-growing, customer-led business.

This is a specialist role for someone who knows the Shopify ecosystem deeply and can take ownership of the storefront experience from architecture through to production. You’ll work closely with Product, UX/UI and other Engineering teams to turn high-fidelity designs and complex commercial requirements into fast, scalable and reusable commerce experiences.

The ambition is to build a technology ecosystem that demonstrates what is possible when an enterprise business combines Shopify with strong engineering practices, thoughtful architecture and modern development tooling.

You’ll have significant ownership over the storefront and will help establish the patterns, standards and best practices that other engineers can build upon.

What you’ll be doing:

• Own and evolve a high-performance Shopify storefront using OS 2.0, Liquid, theme blocks and modern Shopify APIs.

• Turn UX/UI designs into pixel-perfect, responsive and reusable customer experiences.

• Build membership, pricing and entitlement journeys across the storefront, cart, checkout and customer account.

• Use Shopify Functions and Checkout Extensibility to enforce pricing, promotions and customer eligibility securely.

• Build flexible content and commerce experiences using metafields, metaobjects and Shopify Markets.

• Develop and maintain customer account and subscription experiences, including membership and account management.

• Own storefront performance, Core Web Vitals and reliable analytics/event tracking.

• Integrate third-party commerce tools while maintaining a clean, scalable Shopify architecture.

• Use AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining strong engineering standards.

• Own testing, CI/CD, releases and code quality, while mentoring and raising engineering standards across the team.

• Mentoring and coaching a Mid Level Shopify Engineer

What we’re looking for:

You’ll be an experienced Shopify engineer who combines deep platform knowledge with strong general engineering ability.

You should have:

• Several years of production Shopify Plus experience, ideally including Shopify Functions and/or Checkout Extensibility deployed to real customers.

• Deep expertise in Liquid and Shopify theme architecture, particularly Online Store 2.0, sections, blocks and the Section Rendering API.

• Strong experience with Shopify Admin and Storefront GraphQL APIs, metafields, metaobjects and Shopify CLI.

• Practical experience with Shopify Markets and international commerce.

• Experience with Shopify Flow and an understanding of when automation can replace custom engineering.

• Strong TypeScript and modern CSS skills.

• Experience building performant, responsive and accessible storefronts.

• A strong understanding of commerce edge cases and the ability to identify problems before they become production incidents.

• Experience integrating third-party Shopify applications and services.

• A pragmatic approach to architecture: you understand when to build, when to configure, when to use an app and when to use Shopify's native capabilities.

• Confidence working with AI-assisted development tools and the judgement to understand their limitations.

• A strong testing mindset and experience working with production releases, CI/CD and safe deployment practices.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with Product, Design and Engineering stakeholders.

• Experience leading / mentoring others

Experience in one or more of the following would be highly valuable:

• Membership, subscription or loyalty-based commerce.

• Subscription management and customer account experiences.

• Shopify Checkout UI Extensions.

• Shopify Functions for discounts, validation, cart transformations or promotions.

• International or multi-market commerce.

• Commerce businesses where customer eligibility, pricing and benefits vary by account or membership status.
