Shopify Developer (Claude Code Native) — Ship Custom Themes in a Day | Trial → Full-Time

WonderMe (wonderme.com) makes personalized AI portrait canvases and blankets — gifts people actually cry over. We're scaling fast and our biggest bottleneck is shipping speed on the storefront. We're looking for a Shopify developer who builds at a different tempo than the rest of the market. Not "fast for an agency." Fast like: Figma in the morning, theme live by end of day. The reason that's possible now is Claude Code — and we want someone who has already rewired their workflow around it, not someone who's "open to trying it." This starts as a paid trial project. If you're the operator we think you are, it becomes ongoing or full-time within 2–3 weeks. What you'll do Build full custom Shopify themes from Figma → live store (not Dawn reskins — actual ground-up builds) Own performance: Core Web Vitals in the green, every build, no exceptions Ship sections, components, and conversion experiments on a near-daily cadence Work directly with our founder and designer — no PMs, no tickets, no Jira theater Must-haves (do not apply without these) Proven Claude Code proficiency. You have a CLAUDE.md you've iterated on. You know what subagents are for. You don't paste code back and forth into a chat window. Shopify Liquid + theme architecture mastery. Sections, blocks, metaobjects, theme settings, app blocks — fluent, not Googling. Performance obsession. You can talk LCP, CLS, INP without a cheat sheet. You know why Shopify's image CDN params matter. Strong taste. You've seen good DTC sites and bad ones and can tell the difference instantly. Nice-to-haves: Hydrogen / headless experience Klaviyo, Judge.me, Rebuy, common DTC stack integrations Past work with print-on-demand or personalized product flows (our fulfillment is non-trivial) Rate & engagement $25–50/hr depending on what you bring (lean toward the top of that band if your screening submission is strong) Trial project: 1–2 weeks, paid hourly If it works: ongoing contract or full-time, your call Bonuses for fast and accurate work. TO APPLY Loom walkthrough (5–10 min) of a recent Shopify build where you used Claude Code. Show us the actual workflow — how you prompt, how you structure the repo, where Claude saves you time, where you still drive manually. Live Shopify store links you've built or substantially customized. Tell us which parts are yours. Your CLAUDE.md (or equivalent context/workflow setup). Paste it, gist it, however. We want to see how you've configured your environment. Confirm you're available for a paid 2-hour micro-task as the final step — you'll build one section to a Figma spec. Paid regardless of outcome.
