Mid-level Shopify Frontend Developer

About Swanky

We’re Swanky, a fast-growing global ecommerce agency. We design, build and grow Shopify Plus stores that convert. Our clients are ambitious brands, and we help them thrive with world-class Shopify solutions.

About the Role

We’re looking for a mid-level frontend Shopify developer with 1–2+ years of hands-on experience working with the platform. You’ll be focused on from-theme builds and custom theme development on Shopify Store 2.0, delivering elegant, scalable solutions for our clients.

You’ll work alongside developers, designers, solutions engineers, analysts, and project managers—collaborating daily while also being a go-to technical problem solver. Some days you’ll be deep in custom section builds; others, you’ll be advising project managers on technical scope, reviewing code, or contributing to our development standards and culture.

Responsibilities

• Build, test, deploy, and maintain performant Shopify themes in line with best practices.


• Deliver creative technical solutions to support complex ecommerce requirements.


• Conduct code reviews and maintain high standards for quality and maintainability.


• Collaborate across disciplines to scope, design, and implement new features.


• Share knowledge and contribute to team learning, culture, and process improvement.

About You

You thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where continuous improvement is the norm. You’re passionate about clean, scalable code, and you want to grow your expertise while contributing to an ambitious team.

Required skills & experience:

• 1–2+ years delivering functional, responsive Shopify/Shopify Plus websites.


• Strong understanding of Shopify Store 2.0 architecture, Liquid, and theme development.


• Solid skills in HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript (ES6+).


• Experience with Git version control.


• 2+ years in a commercial development environment.


• Strong communication skills (written and verbal).


• A proactive mindset and eagerness to keep up with Shopify and web trends.

Nice to have:

• Experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies.


• Familiarity with CLI tools and build pipelines (Rollup, Vite, esbuild, GitHub Actions).


• Exposure to modern JavaScript frameworks (e.g. React, Alpine.js).

Benefits

• Competitive salary, based on experience.


• 30 days holiday (including bank holidays), plus one extra day per year of service (up to 5).


• Flexible working hours.


• Hybrid, remote, and in-person working options.


• Beautiful Exeter-based office with free tea, coffee, and hot chocolate.


• Work with dynamic, creative clients on fun, challenging, and high-profile projects.


• Regular socials, events, and team activities.


• Investment in your growth and career development.


• Join a supportive, collaborative, and ambitious team.
