Who you are
We’re particularly interested in your experience with Shopify API, Shopify CLI, or GraphQL API. Even if these experiences are not part of your repertoire, we value your expertise with integrations on other platforms. If available, we’d love if you can share any public app or API documentation from those platforms.
Beyond technical expertise, success in this role means embodying these three core values:
Resourcefulness: You are relentlessly resourceful, always finding a way to achieve the highest standards of quality. You know where to look and whom to consult when faced with challenges, understanding that we always support each other.
Ownership: You take complete ownership and pride in your work. This means deeply understanding our users’ problems and how new features or updates affect them.
Communication: You effectively communicate your progress, challenges, checklists, and pull requests, detailing them in Linear or GitHub PR descriptions to keep the rest of the team informed. Effective communication is crucial in our fully remote and asynchronous team environment.
