AI-Native Shopify Developer + Designer (Claude Code · Cursor · Figma)
Worldwide
Who We Are We're a fast-moving digital agency building DTC brands across health, wellness, and CPG. Our work right now includes a ground-up custom Shopify build (agentic-first) and ongoing development for a rapidly growing direct-to-consumer brand in the sleep aid space. We're a small, senior, AI-native team, and our designers and developers move at a pace most shops can't match, because the entire workflow is built around modern AI tooling. The Role We're looking for a Swiss-army-knife AI engineer who lives at the intersection of development and design. You can take a Figma file, a brand guide, or just a couple of inspiration sites and a concept, and bring it to life as a polished, performant Shopify storefront. You're not AI-curious; you run your day inside an AI-assisted pipeline, and you're fast, precise, and self-directed. If Claude Code and Cursor are already extensions of your hands, keep reading. If you still hand-code everything line by line with no AI in the loop, this isn't the fit. Our Stack / Pipeline Claude Code + Cursor: agentic development, our core workflow GitHub: version control and collaboration Shopify: custom themes, Liquid, sections/blocks, headless where it makes sense (primary focus) Figma: design handoff and our in-house design systems Slack: fast async and real-time communication Some clients on Webflow and custom Vercel / Next.js builds What You'll Do Build and ship custom Shopify themes and storefronts from Figma designs and brand/style guides Translate inspiration sites and rough concepts into production-ready UI with strong design judgment Move quickly inside our AI dev pipeline (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub) Collaborate live with our designers and developers on Slack, keeping pace with a team that ships daily Jump onto Webflow and Vercel/Next.js projects as needed Own the details: responsive, fast-loading, pixel-aware, conversion-minded Must-Haves Strong Shopify development: Liquid, theme architecture, sections/blocks, custom functionality Real design ability. You can execute a Figma file faithfully and make smart calls when the file isn't fully baked Fluent, daily use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent agentic workflows) Comfortable in Git / GitHub Front-end fundamentals: HTML, CSS, JS, responsive design Fast, clear communication on Slack Self-directed and reliable. You don't need to be micromanaged Nice-to-Haves Webflow experience Next.js / Vercel / headless commerce DTC / e-commerce CRO experience MCP server setup / Shopify API automation Background in health, wellness, or CPG brands How do you like your coffee? (Answer in job app to confirm you read this) How We Work We move fast. Designs come to you well-defined (Figma plus brand/style guides), and we expect quick turnarounds at high quality. Communication is on Slack, decisions get made quickly, and AI is woven through everything we do. The right person thrives on this; speed is a feature, not a stressor.
