Title: Senior Shopify Developer (Front-End Focus) – Naturecan
Location: Hybrid – Stockport / Remote
Office requirement: Thursday in the Stockport office
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Shopify Developer with a strong front-end focus to take ownership of our Shopify ecosystem and drive it forward with confidence and autonomy.
This role is ideal for someone who excels at building high-performance, conversion-focused storefronts, leading front-end Shopify development, and turning commercial goals into polished, scalable e-commerce experiences. While the role is primarily front-end, you’ll also need solid back-end and integration experience to ensure our platforms are robust, well-connected, and future-proof.
You’ll have the freedom to move projects forward independently, with the backing and support of a collaborative in-house team.
You’ll work closely with commercial stakeholders, marketing, product, and design to ensure our Shopify platforms are fast, scalable, conversion-focused, and aligned with brand and business objectives.
This is a hybrid role, with Thursdays based in our Stockport office and flexibility the rest of the week.
What You’ll Be Doing
This is not a ticket-factory role. We’re looking for someone who can lead, challenge, and improve — not just build what’s asked.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning and leading multiple Shopify builds, with a strong focus on front-end architecture, theme development, and user experience, through to launch and optimisation
- Driving conversion rate optimisation (CRO) and revenue growth through front-end performance improvements, UX enhancements, and experimentation
- Developing and maintaining high-quality, scalable Shopify themes using Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
- Supporting and contributing to back-end functionality, including integrations, APIs, and Shopify app customisation where required
- Translating business and commercial requirements into robust technical solutions
- Collaborating closely with designers to turn concepts, wireframes, and prototypes into high-performing storefronts
- Implementing and maintaining key Shopify integrations (payments, subscriptions, apps, APIs, analytics, CMS, etc.)
- Ensuring sites are optimised for performance, accessibility, Tech SEO, and cross-device compatibility
- Monitoring site performance during key trading periods and supporting the platform during critical incidents when required
- Reviewing commercial and behavioural data to identify opportunities for improvement and growth
- Acting as a technical lead and mentor, raising front-end standards and best practices within the team
- Staying ahead of Shopify platform updates, e-commerce trends, and emerging front-end technologies
Essential Skills & Experience
- Proven experience as a Senior Shopify Developer, with a strong emphasis on front-end development
- Demonstrable success in improving conversion rates and revenue on Shopify stores
- Deep knowledge of Shopify, Liquid, theme architecture, and app integrations
- Strong front-end skills: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (performance and UX-focused)
- Solid understanding of back-end concepts, APIs, and integrations to support front-end builds
- Experience working autonomously, taking ownership from idea through to delivery
- Confident collaborating with non-technical stakeholders and translating commercial needs into technical solutions
- Experience using Git and working within structured development workflows
- Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
- Comfortable supporting e-commerce platforms during high-traffic or critical trading periods
Nice to Have / Bonus Skills
- Shopify Plus experience
- API integrations and light custom app development
- Experience with CRO tools, A/B testing, and analytics
