What this job asks for AI summary
A hands-on Shopify Plus developer role focused on building custom Shopify apps using the Admin, Storefront, and GraphQL APIs with a Node.js or Ruby backend, maintaining and improving the Liquid-based storefront theme, and owning integrations with external systems such as ERPs, PIMs, and marketing platforms. The position suits an experienced developer comfortable working autonomously, evaluating build-vs-buy decisions, and proactively driving site performance and conversion improvements rather than simply executing assigned tickets.

Why we read it this way (9)
No work location or geography is specified in the posting; the role appears to be remote-friendly given the absence of any office requirement, but this is inferred rather than stated explicitly.
The title 'Shopify Plus Developer' carries no seniority level word. The requirements (3+ years overall, 1+ years on Shopify, autonomous ownership of a technical roadmap) support a Mid-level classification, though the ownership scope edges toward Senior — the lower band was chosen per tiebreaker guidance.
Node.js and Ruby are presented as interchangeable backend options ('Node.js and/or Ruby'); Node.js is listed first and is the more common Shopify app backend, so it is the primary skill with Ruby as an alternative.
REST and GraphQL are both listed as required integration skills; they are distinct technologies used together in this context and are emitted as separate required skills. The Shopify Admin/Storefront GraphQL APIs are covered under the Shopify APIs skill.
Hydrogen (headless Shopify) and CRO/performance optimization track record appear only under the 'Nice to have' section.
Familiarity with specific integration surfaces (ERP, PIM, subscriptions, email/SMS) is listed as a nice-to-have but names no specific product or platform, so no skill entry was created for it.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The alternative occupation code 15-1254 (Web Developers) is noted as a runner-up because the role includes Shopify theme work (Liquid, HTML/CSS), but the dominant scope — custom app development, API integrations, backend code, technical roadmap ownership — firmly points to Software Developers (15-1252).
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
