About the role

We’re looking for a Shopify Plus Developer to join our team!

As we re-platform and scale our digital experience, we’re building out our enterprise eCommerce capability. Reporting to the eCommerce Digital Director, the Shopify Plus Developer owns the technical build of DAVIDsTEA.com — from a full theme rebuild to custom apps, checkout extensibility, and deep platform integrations. You’ll work hands-on across the full stack and collaborate closely with our brand, marketing, and agency partners to bring an ambitious roadmap to life. SEO and content strategy are owned in-house; this role owns the implementation that makes them perform.

What you’ll own

As we re-platform, this developer will own or lead an ambitious build roadmap. Active and upcoming work includes:

Theme Rebuild & Site Structure

• Full theme rebuild on Shopify Horizon with a clean, SEO-sound heading structure
• Homepage, PDP, collection, and content-page updates
• Figma design handoff and freelancer coordination
• Mobile-first, Core Web Vitals-optimized implementation
• Shopify Search & Discovery and filtering configuration

Customer Account Experience

• Custom logged-in experience built on Customer Accounts Extensibility (Shopify Plus)
• Unified view of orders, subscriptions, loyalty, and preferences
• Integration across our subscription, loyalty, and email/SMS stack
• UI Extensions development

Customer Preference Management

• Custom branded preference center where customers set email/SMS frequency and choose content and product interests
• Preferences drive Klaviyo flows and segmentation, so customers only get what they opted into
• Supports email-gating and win-back journeys

Subscriptions & Bundles

• Subscription and build-your-bundle logic for reorder frequency and bundle building
• App configuration and theme/PDP integration
• Subscription management surfaced in the customer account

Product Data Architecture

• Metafields and metaobjects architecture to support product data at scale
• SKU audit and data-governance implementation

Custom Storefront Features

• Interactive, logic-driven components such as guided product-recommendation tools
• Conversion-optimized, mobile-first UX
• Internationalization of the storefront: As we expand beyond North America, you'll lead the strategic setup of Shopify Markets to support select international regions — navigating the localization, currency, tax, and content nuances of each market that are critical to a successful rollout

Responsabilities

• Build and maintain custom Shopify functionality across the full stack — themes, custom apps, and platform extensions.
• Lead the Shopify Horizon theme rebuild with a mobile-first, performance-first approach.
• Develop on Shopify Plus surfaces: Checkout Extensibility, Checkout UI Extensions, Shopify Functions, and Customer Accounts Extensibility.
• Implement and maintain integrations with our core stack — Skio, LoyaltyLion, Yotpo, Georgias and Klaviyo.
• Own product data architecture through metafields and metaobjects.
• Ensure the store performs under high-traffic events such as drops, flash sales, and promotional peaks.
• Own enterprise-level Core Web Vitals and site performance.
• Maintain healthy delivery practices: CI/CD pipelines, Shopify GitHub integration, Git branching, QA, and testing.
• Participate in agile sprints with cross-functional teams, including brand, marketing, and agency partners.

So are YOU our next Shopify Plus Developer?
