Overview

What our Shopify engineers bring

Shopify handles the hard parts of commerce so your developers can focus on the parts that differentiate you. Our Shopify engineers work in Liquid, the Storefront and Admin APIs, and Hydrogen - and they know which problems are worth solving in-theme versus in an app.

Four ways to bring a developer on

Dedicated developer

One full-time engineer embedded in your team, reporting into your stand-ups and your sprint board. Minimum three months.

Dedicated team

A squad of three to eight - engineers, QA and a tech lead - with a delivery manager accountable for the outcome.
Best for building a product or a major platform initiative.

Hourly / part-time

Book 40 to 80 hours a month for maintenance, overflow work or specialist input on a specific problem.
Best for support work and unpredictable demand.

Fixed-scope project

A defined deliverable at a fixed price, with milestones and acceptance criteria agreed before we start.

FAQ

Hiring Shopify developers

How quickly can we get Shopify developers started?

We send two to four vetted shopify developers profiles within 48 hours of your requirements call. You interview them directly. Once you choose, contracts and access provisioning typically take under a week - most engagements start within ten business days.

What does it cost to hire Shopify developers?

$35-$60 / hour depending on seniority and engagement length. Dedicated monthly engagements start around $6,400 per engineer. There is no recruitment fee, no conversion fee and no markup on overtime.

What if the developer is not a good fit?

Every dedicated engagement includes a one-week risk-free trial. If the fit is wrong in that window you pay nothing and we replace the engineer. After the trial, we guarantee a replacement within five business days at no cost.

Will they work in our time zone?

Yes. Every engineer we place overlaps a minimum of five hours with your US business day, every working day. That is contractual, not aspirational, and it covers your stand-up, your reviews and same-day turnarounds.

Do we manage them directly?

Yes. Your engineer joins your Slack or Teams, your sprint board and your ceremonies, and reports to your technical lead. There is no account manager in between. We handle employment, payroll, equipment and HR in the background.

Who owns the code they write?

You do. IP assignment and an NDA are signed before any work starts. Code is committed directly to your repositories and deployed to infrastructure in your accounts.
