Shopify Developer - Full Store Rebuild (4-Week Sprint, Remote) @ RocketCare
Published: April 17, 2026
Job description
Right now we have one mission-critical project on the table: a complete Shopify store rebuild, launching in 4 weeks. No exceptions, no extensions. We need someone who thrives under that kind of pressure, not someone who buckles under it.
You'll work directly alongside our Lead Developer as an equal, not a sub. The build is Dawn-based, no complex animations, but the bar is high: pixel-perfect execution, 100/100 SEO, and accessibility that holds up to scrutiny. Speed, clean code, and zero-defect delivery are the standard.
This isn't a project for someone who needs their hand held. But if you're a developer who moves fast, communicates clearly, and cares deeply about the craft, we pay well for excellence, and this is a strong payday for a focused few weeks.
What this looks like day-to-day: daily standups, tight feedback loops, direct communication with the client when needed, and a shared obsession with hitting the deadline. We use AI tooling in our workflow and expect the same from you. If you're not using AI to move faster and smarter, this isn't the right fit.
Experience Requirements

— Strong CLI capability knowledge
— Strong experience with interlinking and building logic based on metaobjects/metafields

— WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility knowledge — you apply it by default, not as an afterthought

Strong advantage
— Experience working within an agency environment
— Actively uses AI tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent) to accelerate development
— Familiar with tools like Figma handoff, ClickUp, and Slack for async/sync collaboration
— Portfolio showing clean, conversion-focused Shopify builds
You are
— Deadline-driven and deeply accountable
— Solutions-first: you flag problems early and come with options, not just issues
— Available for daily standups and responsive during working hours for the full 4-week sprint
— Motivated by doing excellent work and being compensated well for it
