Shopify Liquid Developer

Salary: $76,960 - 156,000 per year

• Proven experience developing custom Shopify themes or theme components, with strong Shopify Liquid skills

• Clear communication and dependable delivery estimates
• Preferred: experience with Shopify CLI, metafields and metaobjects, ecommerce accessibility, theme performance optimization, existing-theme refactoring, and controlled staging, testing, and deployment workflows
• Provide 2–3 completed Shopify projects featuring custom Liquid components you personally developed, with a brief description of your contribution to each
• Provide an example of a configurable Shopify section using blocks and Theme Editor settings, and describe your experience with Shopify CLI and Git
• State your earliest available start date, weekly availability, proposed fixed-price cost, and estimated delivery timeline for the initial assignment

More:

We are seeking an experienced Shopify Liquid Developer for a short-term, contract/project-based assignment supporting an established ecommerce website. The work will take place within an existing Shopify theme architecture; it is not a full website redesign, new Shopify store build, or headless-commerce project. The initial assignment is a reusable homepage experience-discovery component, and any expanded scope requires separate approval. The engagement excludes unauthorized direct changes to the live production theme, checkout or payment-processing changes, customer-record or account-system changes, unapproved third-party applications or paid services, replacement of functional pages or templates without approval, and work beyond the approved milestone. The role is remote, with a hybrid-remote work location in Jacksonville, Florida (32207). It is a short-term contract/project engagement with fixed-price project compensation, an expected initial availability of 10–20 hours per week, and a separately stated expected-hours figure of 30 hours per week. The listed pay range is $37–$75 per hour, and additional work may be available following successful delivery and separate approval. The technical assessment is for evaluation in a controlled test environment only, not a production assignment or commercial deliverable.
