Shopify Theme Developer (Liquid / OS 2.0)

ABOUT THE ROLE
We're a small luxury skincare brand running a Shopify store, and we're looking for a reliable Shopify developer to help us with ongoing site updates and improvements. This is theme work: editing and building product page templates, front-end UX components, and supporting our subscription setup.
You'll work directly with the founder. We move carefully — all work is done on a development/sandbox theme first and reviewed before anything goes live. We never push directly to the live theme, so a careful, test-first approach matters to us.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Edit and build Shopify theme sections, blocks, and JSON templates (Liquid)
Standardize and patch product page templates to a consistent structure
Build and refine front-end UX components (cart drawer, upsell cards, free-shipping bar, subscription callouts, etc.)
Implement and troubleshoot subscription widgets and app integrations
General CSS/JS styling, responsive fixes, and QA
Test thoroughly on a development theme before deploying

MUST HAVE

Strong experience with Shopify theme development (Online Store 2.0 — sections, blocks, JSON templates)
Solid Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Comfortable working in a sandbox-then-deploy workflow and following a careful deployment process
Good written English and clear, proactive communication
Detail-oriented — you test your work and don't break live pages

NICE TO HAVE

Experience with subscription apps (Appstle, Recharge, Skio, or similar)
Experience with Klaviyo, Okendo, or Google Merchant Center
An eye for clean, premium design

ABOUT YOU / THE FIT

This is part-time and ongoing, with room to grow as we do
Remote and flexible, but please have some overlap with US Eastern time for communication
We value people who are careful, communicative, and take ownership of their work
