Shopify Developer

We're hiring a mid-senior Shopify Developer on a remote monthly retainer to build and extend Shopify storefronts and apps for client work at Bolder Apps. You'll work directly with US-based founders and product owners, ship Liquid themes and modern Shopify surfaces, and leave code the next engineer can extend. We want someone who has shipped real merchant stores or apps in an agency or multi-client setting, not only a single personal theme demo. If you can own a store build, untangle a messy live theme, and keep client trust while saying no to bad technical ideas, we want to talk.

About Us

Bolder Apps is a product development studio that partners with US-based startups and established companies to build and scale innovative digital products. We specialize in AI-powered development, full-cycle product creation, and engineering team augmentation. Our mission is simple: build bolder, faster, and smarter.

Our Culture & Values (read before applying)

We move fast. We take ownership. We work with AI, not against it. And we expect everyone to bring ideas, not wait for instructions.

There are no daily checklists, no micromanagement, and no corporate politics. Instead, you'll have autonomy, trust, and a team that's always ready to help you grow. At Bolder Apps, impact matters more than titles, and curiosity matters more than seniority.

If you want a place where you can level up fast and actually see your work making a difference - welcome aboard.

Responsibilities
- Own Shopify theme and storefront work for client stores from brief through launch, across more than one engagement when the pipeline needs it
- Build and maintain Liquid sections, templates, and theme architecture that merchants and the next developer can extend
- Implement Checkout Extensibility, Shopify Functions, and modern app surfaces when the store needs more than theme edits
- Build or extend custom Shopify apps (Node/Remix or similar) for admin, storefront, or checkout workflows when the brief requires it
- Partner with PMs, designers, and US clients on scope cuts, performance, SEO basics, analytics hooks, and launch risk
- Use AI coding tools to move faster, then review the output yourself before it hits a client store or production app
- Flag risk early when the theme is a fork nightmare, the app scope is fake, or Shopify constraints conflict with the ask
- Leave clear handoff notes, env setup, and repo hygiene so another engineer can pick up without archaeology.
