Overview Of Role: 

We're a fully remote web development agency looking for a full time Senior Shopify developer to join us in solving unique problems for our eCommerce clients.

3. Connected - Be able to work with the Shopify theme API as well as the Front End shopify cart api logic for a truly custom user experience.
4. Manage - Be able to manage and implement Shopify features including content, product creation, content and page management as well as utilizing the API for custom features and custom reporting tasks.
