Job Level

Senior

About the role

  • Own the codebase and technical direction: architecture, quality bar, shipping cadence, production reliability
  • Own and evolve a live Shopify app and storefront integration, hardening it across OS 2.0 and legacy theme realities with safe rollouts and easy rollback
  • Extend the mobile web creator upload flow with Mux: QR → prompt → record/upload → consent → submit
  • Turn content readiness from manual workflows into product: review/approve/publish, SKU mapping, internal tooling to automation

Requirements

  • End-to-end production owner: you design, ship, operate, and debug; you close loops fast
  • Strong fundamentals: performance, reliability, security, and product/UX judgment (especially on conversion-sensitive surfaces)
  • AI-native builder: you ship production code with agentic tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, similar).
  • You use AI for speed, keep quality high with tests/CI/observability, and can debug when AI output is wrong
  • Thrive in ambiguity and a very small-team environment
  • Shopify apps/theme integration experience, or embedded widget/SDK experience in hostile third-party environments
  • Video pipeline familiarity (Mux or similar)
  • Experimentation/analytics rigor: clean event design, integrity checks, debugging
