Shopify Section Developer — Retainer (Liquid + Claude Code + Figma MCP)

We are a Shopify-focused ecommerce agency building high-converting stores for DTC brands. We need a developer who turns Figma files into production Shopify sections precisely - without a PM having to check every number. Retainer, full-time role. $1,000-$1,500/month depending on experience and output quality. The rate grows as the relationship does, and this can become full time for the right person. THE WORK Section and page builds from Figma, theme customization on Dawn and similar frameworks, homepage / collection / PDP / landing pages, app integrations, bug fixes, and ongoing iteration across live client projects. THE TOOLCHAIN - NOT OPTIONAL Our team runs on three tools, and the paid trial tests all three: - Claude Code, as your working environment for the build - Shopify CLI, for theme pull, theme dev, and pushing to an unpublished theme - Figma MCP, to read the design and pull structure and tokens out of the file If you have not used these, this is not the role. We are hiring for how you work as much as what you ship. THE BAR Every number comes out of the Figma file, not off a screenshot - eyeballed values are the single biggest cause of QA round-trips on our builds. If a merchant can see it, a merchant must be able to edit it from the theme editor: no hardcoded strings, and repeating items are schema blocks, not duplicated markup. Product cards, prices and badges render from real Shopify objects, and the empty states hold. Namespaced CSS, no jQuery, no framework pulled in for a single section. Mobile first, verified at 375, 768 and 1440. HOW TO APPLY - THIS IS THE FILTER Send exactly three things. Nothing else. Applications in any other format are not reviewed. 1. Two live store URLs we can open and inspect - stores you built, or built sections on. Name which sections are yours. 2. One short paragraph: the most complex Shopify section you have built, and what made it hard. 3. One line confirming which of Claude Code, Shopify CLI and Figma MCP you have used, and roughly how long. No cover letter. No portfolio PDF. No "I am the perfect fit for your project." PROCESS 1. We open your links. Evidence beats narration. 2. Shortlist gets a short availability check. 3. Paid trial - $75, 48-hour turnaround. You build the top of a real homepage from a Figma file as Shopify sections, to the standards above, and send a five-minute Loom. Paid on delivery whether or not we hire you. 4. Offer or decline within 48 hours of your trial submission. WORKING STYLE 4-6 hours of overlap with EST between 6am and 3pm on working days. Daily async update on every active task in ClickUp. We do not book calls to review builds - we send Looms. Revisions on small changes are same-day.
