Role Context

• Review pull requests and participate in frontend engineering guild discussions

• Bachelor's in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
• Proficiency in React and TypeScript for building web applications
• Understanding of HTML, CSS, and browser rendering fundamentals
• Familiarity with GraphQL, REST APIs, and frontend testing frameworks
• Attention to accessibility (WCAG) and responsive design best practices

Benefits & Work Conditions

• $36–$50/hr with Shopify equity and annual bonus
• Remote-first — work from anywhere in the US
• Annual home office setup budget and internet stipend
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
• Generous parental leave and 401(k) with match

Who Should Apply

Frontend-focused graduates who enjoy building clean, performant interfaces and have a genuine interest in e-commerce tooling. Shopify's remote-first culture suits self-directed candidates who communicate well asynchronously.

About the Company
