About the Role
We are a growing snack brand bringing bold, real-fruit products to market in a modern, convenient format. As the brand continues to grow, we're looking for a Shopify Developer & Website Optimisation Specialist to improve the performance, usability, and discoverability of our e-commerce website.
This isn't a ground-up website build. The immediate priority is reviewing the existing site, identifying opportunities for improvement, and implementing those changes across design, UX, development, and SEO. The ideal candidate combines strong Shopify development skills with an understanding of e-commerce UX, CRO, and SEO — and can independently recommend improvements rather than simply waiting for tasks to be assigned.
