About the Role

Backdropsource is looking for a Senior Shopify Developer with strong hands-on experience in building, customizing, and optimizing modern Shopify stores.

The ideal candidate should combine Shopify development, pixel-perfect UI/UX implementation, technical SEO, performance optimization, international store management, and Agentic SEO knowledge.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, customize, maintain, and optimize Shopify 2.0 themes and storefronts.
• Convert Figma designs and mockups into pixel-perfect, responsive Shopify pages across desktop, tablet, and mobile.
• Build modern, conversion-focused UI/UX while maintaining performance and scalability.
• Work with Liquid, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript/ES6, AJAX, JSON, Metafields, Storefront API, and Shopify APIs.
• Customize themes, sections, templates, product pages, collections, carts, and other storefront components.
• Integrate and troubleshoot Shopify Apps, third-party APIs, payment systems, marketing tools, and analytics platforms.
• Perform technical SEO audits and resolve crawlability, indexing, canonical, redirect, and other site issues.
• Implement and validate structured data / Schema markup for products, breadcrumbs, organizations, and other relevant entities.
• Improve page speed, Core Web Vitals, and overall storefront performance.
• Manage and optimize multiple-country / international Shopify stores, including localization and Shopify Markets.
• Debug, test, and maintain stores across browsers and devices.
• Collaborate with design, SEO, marketing, and ecommerce teams to improve conversion, user experience, and organic visibility.

Agentic SEO & AI Search

Candidates should understand Agentic SEO / Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and how Shopify stores can be structured for better visibility across platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and other LLM-powered discovery channels.

Knowledge of semantic HTML, structured data, clean site architecture, crawlable product information, entity signals, and machine-readable ecommerce data is important.

What We're Looking For

• 3–4+ years of Shopify development experience
• Strong Shopify Liquid, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and responsive development skills
• Excellent Figma-to-Shopify pixel-perfect development
• Strong understanding of modern ecommerce UI/UX and conversion-focused development
• Experience with Shopify APIs, integrations, Metafields, and custom functionality
• Good knowledge of technical SEO, Schema, Core Web Vitals, and page-speed optimization
• Experience handling international / multi-country Shopify stores
• Understanding of Agentic SEO, GEO, and LLM search optimization
• Strong debugging, problem-solving, communication, and ownership skills

Added Advantage

Experience with Shopify Plus, Checkout Extensibility, high-traffic ecommerce stores, advanced integrations, or international ecommerce brands will be an advantage.

We are looking for more than a Shopify theme developer - we need someone who can combine development, UI/UX, performance, technical SEO, and AI-search readiness to help scale Backdropsource’s ecommerce experience.
