Senior Full-Stack Engineer, Shopify & E-Commerce

Javvy is on a mission to set a new standard for café favorites with better-for-you beverages that are craveable, convenient, and without compromise. Positioned at the intersection of café culture, convenience, and functional nutrition, we’re reimagining the drinks people buy every day - proving you don’t have to compromise between great taste and quality ingredients. What began as a cult-favorite DTC brand has rapidly scaled into an omnichannel business, now expanding into major retail while building a loyal community around better-for-you café favorites.

The Opportunity:

We're hiring a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to help us build that engine faster, cleaner, and with fewer surprises after launch.

This is a true full-stack role - spanning Shopify, custom frontend/backend systems, checkout and cart flows, subscriptions, experimentation infrastructure, tracking, and AI-assisted engineering workflows. It's built for someone who's already owned this kind of work as a Senior Full-Stack Engineer, Shopify/Ecommerce Engineer, or Lead Engineer at a DTC brand or agency, and wants to do it with more ownership and less red tape.

What You’ll Own:

• 40% - Shopify, cart, checkout, and ecommerce funnel work

• 25% - Custom web apps and services (React, Next.js, occasionally Vue)

• 15% - Cloudflare Workers, reverse proxy, and split-testing infrastructure

• 10% - Recharge / subscription and customer portal work

• 10% - QA, release process, code review, and technical standards

What You’ll Do:

• Build and maintain high-quality ecommerce experiences across Shopify and our custom infrastructure.

• Work with Shopify APIs, product/variant data, cart behavior, checkout constraints, and webhooks.

• Ship frontend experiences in React, Next.js, and occasionally Vue.

• Build backend services, integrations, and internal tools.

• Extend our Cloudflare Workers and reverse-proxy/split-testing infrastructure.

• Support A/B testing and experimentation across the ecommerce funnel.

• Improve subscription experiences - Recharge/customer portal flows, cancellations, product swaps, rebill logic, and retention features.

• Implement and validate tracking across experiments, attribution, and analytics (Amplitude, Elevar, PostHog, server-side tracking, or similar).

• Use AI coding tools as leverage - to move faster, explore approaches, debug, and check your own work.

• Own pre-launch QA for high-impact launches: pricing tests, checkout changes, subscription changes, tracking updates.

• Catch edge cases before customers or the business do, and monitor launches after release.

• Communicate early and clearly - especially when something's risky, under-scoped, or likely to break.

What You Bring:

Required

• Production experience with Shopify - Admin API, Storefront API, webhooks, product/variant/cart/checkout logic.

• Strong React and/or Next.js, plus TypeScript or strong modern JavaScript.

• Node.js (or similar) backend experience and solid API design chops.

• Comfort integrating third-party APIs, using Git/GitHub PR workflows, and owning production deployments.

• A track record of debugging production issues and building software that's fast, reliable, and maintainable.

• Sound judgment using AI dev tools - as an accelerant, not a substitute for engineering fundamentals.

Strongly Preferred

• Recharge or a similar subscription platform (Skio, Stay.ai, Smartrr, Ordergroove, Loop, etc.).

• Subscription flows: skips, delays, swaps, rebills, save offers.

• Shopify Functions / Checkout Extensibility.

• Cloudflare Workers, reverse proxies, or edge infrastructure.

• A/B testing or experimentation systems.

• Ecommerce analytics and tracking tools (Amplitude, Elevar, PostHog, server-side tracking).

• Performance optimization for high-traffic ecommerce pages.

• Building internal tools for ecommerce, ops, or catalog management.

• Real, hands-on experience with AI-assisted coding workflows (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or similar).

What Success Looks Like:

• Ecommerce launches ship faster, with fewer post-launch fire drills.

• High-impact Shopify, checkout, subscription, and tracking work needs less manual oversight from the CTO.

• A/B tests, pricing changes, and checkout updates are implemented cleanly and measured correctly.

• AI tools boost velocity without ever lowering the quality bar.

• The rest of the engineering team levels up from working alongside you.

Who Thrives Here:

• You ship quickly without being sloppy, and you test your own work before handing it off.

• You think in edge cases, not just happy paths - because you know ecommerce bugs cost real revenue.

• You can take a business problem, not just a polished ticket, and run with it.

• You push back - clearly and early - when something's risky or under-specified.

• You debug deeply instead of guessing, and you leave every system better than you found it.

• You care about conversion and customer experience as much as clean code.

• You raise the bar for everyone around you.

How We Think About AI:

We believe AI is a serious engineering advantage when it's used well. We want someone who uses it to explore approaches faster, write boilerplate, generate tests, debug, and review code - not someone who ships code because it appeared to work once.

You should be able to look at AI-generated code and know immediately whether it's wrong, insecure, unscalable, or under-tested. No vibe coding. Use AI aggressively - but keep your engineering judgment firmly in the driver's seat.

Logistics

• Full-time, fully remote, EST working hours, US-based.

• Strong written and verbal English communication.

• Comfortable in a fast-moving startup environment where priorities shift fast.

Why This Role Rocks:

• Competitive Salary

• 100% Company-Paid Health, Dental, Vision & Life Insurance for employees (Family coverage available at employee cost)

• 401(k) Retirement Plan

• Parental Leave

• Free Access to Javvy Products

• Career Growth Opportunities

• Collaborative, Fast-Paced Start-Up Environment
