Full Job Description
Full Stack Developer (Shopify/Hydrogen) Location: Remote (LATAM) Schedule: East Coast Time Zone (9-5 Full-Time) Salary Range: USD -Open based on experience We are a US-based e-commerce retailer operating multiple storefronts. We run lean: operational efficiency matters more than scale. Our architecture is custom headless: Shopify Hydrogen (React Router) for storefronts, Algolia for search, Storyblok for CMS, and a mature Django monolith handling ERP/PIM/CRM functions. We're not a "standard" Shopify setup. Management often expects "Shopify just does this"—but with our headless architecture, many things that "just work" in normal Shopify (feed syndication, native search, content management) require custom middleware, API integrations, or creative workarounds. We're seeking a pragmatic Full Stack Developer to navigate this gap: someone who can either build the solution or knows when to escalate for architectural discussion. ### Key Responsibilities ### Hydrogen & Frontend Development * Build and maintain fully custom Shopify Hydrogen storefronts using React Router, implementing complex commerce features and headless integrations * Implement responsive UIs using HTML, CSS, and modern React; own frontend performance across all storefronts * Manage migrations from legacy frontends (one Shopify Liquid, two Django-based) to Hydrogen with data integrity and minimal business disruption * Debug and optimize the full data flow from React components through GraphQL to backend systems ### Backend Integration & API Work * Extend and maintain Python/Django code powering GraphQL API integrations between Shopify and our internal PIM/ERP/CRM monolith * Build custom middleware and integrations when "standard" Shopify features don't work with our headless stack (e.g., custom feed generators for syndication, Algolia reindexing logic) * Modify data exchange layers and API endpoints as business requirements evolve * Navigate and enhance monolithic Django codebase without breaking existing
