Sanctuary Computer: Senior Shopify Developer

Sanctuary Computer is hiring a contract-based Senior Shopify Developer to join their Design and Development Team. Sanctuary Computer is part of garden3d, a worker-owned creative collective based in NYC’s Chinatown (and remote) that approaches technology development with an emphasis on comfort, hospitality, and craft. The role focuses on building pixel-perfect, hyper-performant storefronts ranging from custom Liquid themes to headless Hydrogen/Next.js implementations, working closely with designers and technical leads.

Key responsibilities include collaborating with Technical Leads and Designers to meet custom e-commerce and technical needs; building and maintaining storefronts using Liquid (Online Store 2.0) and modern headless architectures (Shopify Storefront API, GraphQL, Hydrogen/Remix, Next.js); integrating custom storefronts with headless CMS platforms (Sanity, Contentful) and third-party e-commerce APIs; optimizing e-commerce performance focusing on Core Web Vitals and runtime efficiency; and architecting scalable component libraries.

Candidates should possess 8+ years writing performant frontend code, deep mastery of the Shopify ecosystem, expert-level experience with TypeScript and modern CSS (Tailwind CSS, CSS Modules), experience with headless CMS integrations, and fluency with PaaS hosting platforms like Vercel, Netlify, and Shopify Oxygen. Interests or backgrounds in design, art, music, food, or fashion are welcomed.
