Role details
What does a dedicated Shopify Developer do?
A Shopify developer at Codalyst Tech specialises in building and customising Shopify storefronts, embedded apps, and headless commerce experiences. They combine deep Liquid template knowledge with Storefront and Admin API expertise — enabling merchants to move beyond the default Dawn theme into fully custom, high-performance e-commerce builds. They understand Shopify's platform constraints and know how to work with them, not around them.
- Build custom Shopify themes on Dawn with Liquid 2.0 templates, section schemas, and full theme editor block compatibility
- Develop embedded Shopify Apps using the Remix App Bridge template with Admin API GraphQL and Polaris UI components
- Configure headless Shopify storefronts with Next.js using the Storefront API for full custom checkout experiences
- Implement webhook subscriptions with HMAC signature verification for order, fulfilment, and inventory events
- Optimise theme PageSpeed scores by deferring non-critical JavaScript, inlining critical CSS, and lazy-loading app blocks
- Set up multi-store configurations with cross-border pricing, localised content strategies, and multi-currency handling
Scope of work
What your Shopify Developer will build
- Custom Shopify themes built on Dawn with Liquid 2.0, section schemas, app blocks, and full theme editor compatibility

- Headless Shopify storefronts with Next.js using the Storefront API for full frontend control and custom checkout flows
- Multi-store Shopify setups with cross-border inventory sync, multi-currency configuration, and localised content strategies
