Front End Shopify Developer

Posted Aug 8

About Branch

Branch is shaking up the $46B office furniture industry to create an office experience for the 21st century: easy, affordable and flexible so you can sit down (or stand) and get to work.

We're based in NYC and backed by the investors behind household brands like Quip, Caraway and Peloton. Our founders arrive with experience in partnerships, real estate acquisitions and venture building at leading real estate companies like Oxford Properties, SL Green and Redfin. 

We’re an ambitious group of problem solvers innovating across software, design and logistics, and we’re looking for entrepreneurial teammates who like a challenge.

The Role

We are looking for a talented web developer—remote OK, preferably within the North American EST time zone—to help Branch craft a beautiful, performant and engaging ecommerce experience that delights our customers and boosts conversion and order value. 

As one of the first developers at Branch, you’ll work closely with our digital product team to build best-in-class front-end experiences for our Shopify Plus storefront, private apps to support our internal workflows, and more. You’ll contribute within every area of our software development process, from costing features and recommending architecture to version control, defining and maintaining code standards and producing crisp documentation.

At Branch, we have an opportunity to create a truly differentiated ecommerce experience to match customers with products that can make a major impact on their health and productivity. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a category-defining engineering practice at a well-funded and rapidly-growing startup.      

Day To Day

  • Own all aspects of the development lifecycle, including technical analysis, architecture, design, programming, deployment, and maintenance.
  • Convert Figma files into fully functioning eCommerce features.
  • Follow style guides with a keen sense of design, typography, branding, and attention to detail.
  • Optimize code for reusability, maximum speed, and scalability.
  • Develop code standards to ensure consistency across ecommerce experience.
  • Manage and maintain code base, including troubleshooting errors or bugs. 
  • Collaborate with other team members and stakeholders on sprint planning and retros.
  • Support thorough QA testing including cross-browser/platform compatibility with a design point of view in mind. 
  • Continually optimize the way that we work by following — and refining — best practices.
  • Enforce Branch values, aesthetic, and quality standards across our website. 

What We’re Looking For

  • 2-4 years of experience as a front-end or full-stack developer within the Shopify Plus ecosystem
  • Proficient in modern HTML5+, CSS3+ (SCSS), JavaScript ES6+ 
  • Experience with one or more modern JS Frameworks/Library (React, Vue) 
  • Knowledge of version control and Git flows
  • Experience working with third-party APIs
  • Ability to create strong responsive front end layouts with thoughtful interaction
  • Demonstrated experience with web performance best practices 
  • Superlative attention to detail, from nailing responsive design to commenting code
  • Curious and love learning and applying new technologies, including automation tools when suitable to the task
  • Clear writing and verbal communication
  • Available for work in the North American EST time zone—remote ok! 

Bonus Points

  • Experience with back-end technologies and building private apps within the Shopify ecosystem
  • An interest in mobile app development
  • Experience with a fast-growing eCommerce startup or premier agency
  • Passion for visual and interaction design
  • A love for furniture, productivity or the built environment
