Junior Frontend Developer (React, TypeScript, Shopify)
First seen by Alion on Oct 27, 2026.
About the Product
You'll join the team behind an AI size and fit product for fashion brands. Its size advisor combines custom algorithms, product data and shopper preferences to recommend the right size, so retailers sell more and deal with fewer returns. Well-known luxury fashion brands use it on their online stores, and merchants of every size install it through our Shopify app. We're now building virtual try-on as well.
We're a small team spread across the UK, Italy, Germany and Ukraine, so you'll work directly with our CTO, our designer and our product lead.
The Role
We're looking for a strong junior frontend developer who's ready to take a task from ticket to release. Most of your time will go into our Shopify app, which merchants use inside their Shopify admin to set up size charts and configure the size advisor. You'll also work on requests from our brand clients for the size advisor widget that runs on their product pages, and you may help with virtual try-on as it develops.
You'll plan your work in Linear, open pull requests that a teammate reviews, and use AI coding tools every day. We use Claude Code a lot, and we expect you to understand every line it writes for you.
What You'll Do
Build new features in our Shopify app, such as size chart creation and editing, merchant onboarding, recommendation settings and dashboards.
Fix bugs and work through the backlog, keeping the app in line with Shopify's Polaris design system and Built for Shopify guidelines.
Work on our theme app extension and web pixel, the parts of the app that run on merchants' storefronts.
Deliver customisations, fixes and small features on the size advisor widget for our brand clients.
Turn Figma designs into responsive, accessible interfaces that work across browsers.
Write tests for the code you change, using Vitest and Playwright.
Take part in code reviews, both giving and receiving feedback.
What We're Looking For
At least a year of commercial experience building React applications, or shipped projects that show the same level.
Working knowledge of TypeScript.
Solid JavaScript, HTML and CSS/SCSS, including responsive layouts and cross-browser issues.
Experience working with REST APIs and handling async data, including loading and error states.
Basic GraphQL: you can read and write queries (Shopify's Admin API is GraphQL).
Comfortable with Git, pull requests and code review.
Good spoken and written English. It's our working language across four countries.
Hands-on experience with AI coding assistants, and the judgement to check what they produce.
Working hours that overlap with UK and Central European time. Our daily stand-up is at 9.30am CET (8.30am UK time).
Nice to Have
Experience building Shopify apps: Remix or React Router 7 (Shopify's current app template), App Bridge, Shopify CLI and theme app extensions.
Polaris, either Polaris React or the newer Polaris web components.
Node.js on the server, plus basic Prisma and PostgreSQL.
Redux Toolkit, Vite and Storybook.
three.js or React Three Fiber.
Accessibility (WCAG) and internationalisation (i18n).
An interest in fashion and e-commerce.
Our Tech Stack
Shopify app: React, TypeScript, Remix, Polaris, App Bridge, Prisma, PostgreSQL, Vite, pnpm, Biome
Size advisor widget: React, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, SCSS, Vite, three.js and React Three Fiber, plus our own component library in Storybook
Testing: Vitest, Testing Library, Playwright
Tools: GitHub, Linear, Figma, Claude Code
What We Offer
Visible work: what you build runs on the online stores of some of the best-known names in fashion.
Mentoring from our CTO, and a careful review on every pull request.
A team that releases to production several times a week, so you see your work live within days.
Our Values
Integrity: We respect ourselves and others, and we do the right thing because it's the right thing to do.
Own it: We don't pass the buck. The team depends on you and trusts you, and we're collectively accountable for the good outcomes as well as the bad.
Execution: We want to create something worth creating, so we execute, monitor, learn, adjust and repeat. Iteration is at the heart of everything we do.
Intellectual rigour: We're passionate about what we do. We encourage rigorous debate and make decisions based on logic, data and facts.
Collaboration: We value the team over the individual. No one should be afraid to ask for help or unwilling to help others, and that's how we build the highest-quality systems.
