You’ll own the storefront experience end to end. Speed, usability, flexibility, and clean code matter here.
Key Responsibilities
• Build and customize Shopify themes using Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• Develop schema-driven, reusable custom sections that merchants can manage without touching code
• Work extensively with Online Store 2.0 (JSON templates, sections everywhere, app blocks)
• Customize product pages, collection pages, cart, and checkout flows (where applicable)
• Diagnose and resolve storefront issues, whether caused by Liquid logic, theme limitations, or app conflicts
• Integrate and maintain third-party Shopify apps and custom features
• Optimize site performance, page speed, and Core Web Vitals
• Ensure mobile-first UX, cross-browser compatibility, and basic accessibility standards
• Collaborate using Git and Shopify CLI for version control and deployments
Must-Have Skills
• Expert-level proficiency in Shopify Liquid
• Strong command of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript (ES6+)
• Solid experience customizing Shopify themes and storefront logic
• Deep understanding of Online Store 2.0 architecture
• Ability to write clean, maintainable, performance-optimized frontend code
• Comfortable troubleshooting independently using documentation and browser dev tools
Good to Have
• Working knowledge of Shopify AJAX API (cart, search, dynamic updates)
• Experience with Tailwind or utility-first CSS frameworks
• Understanding of technical SEO for eCommerce
• Familiarity with Lighthouse, GTmetrix, and performance debugging tools
• Experience with Git-based workflows and code reviews
What We Value
• Strong problem-solving mindset
• Clear communication with non-technical teams
• Ability to identify whether an issue is frontend, Liquid, app-related, or needs backend escalation
• Attention to detail and pride in code quality
Why Mesmerize
• Real ownership of a fast-growing D2C brand storefront
• Freedom to build scalable, flexible systems instead of patchwork fixes
• Work on a product-first brand that cares about design, speed, and experience
