Overview

We operate four Shopify stores supported by a portfolio of in-house custom apps and integrations, hosted on our VPS and central to how our brands run. We are looking for a Platform Engineer to take ownership of this stack and evolve it into an AI-first platform that powers end-to-end Shopify store management.

Responsibilities:
  • Own the existing stack: audit, document, and take responsibility for the custom apps across our four stores and VPS
  • Make it configuration-driven: refactor hardcoded, store-specific logic so per-store change is a config change, not a code change
  • Plan and execute the evolution: decide what consolidates, stays separate, or gets rewritten
  • Maintain a prioritized engineering roadmap aligned with brand and ops priorities
  • AI-native API design: endpoints meant to be consumed by agents
  • Build the primitives for end-to-end store management (catalog, inventory, orders, support, merchandising, content) with the right guardrails and audit trails
  • Expose capabilities via MCP servers, A2A endpoints, webhooks, and structured tools
  • Architect the internal AI tooling layer: design and build the agents that consume the platform, plus the shared scaffolding
  • Build eval harnesses so we catch regressions, hallucinations, and drift
  • Stand up the CI/CD pipeline from scratch: testing, linting, type checks, security scans, staged deploys, one-click rollback
  • Set up proper dev, staging, and production environments with seeded test data and parity
  • Define and enforce a testing strategy
  • Maintain code quality standards, PR templates, review SLAs, branching, and release process
  • Manage security: secrets, dependencies, Shopify scopes, customer data
  • Implement observability: logging, metrics, error tracking, alerting
  • Lead by example with Claude Code and agentic dev tools
  • Ensure codebase hygiene for AI
  • Coach junior and mid-level engineers through reviews, pairing, and shipping alongside them
  • Set SLOs, monitor against them, and reduce on-call burden over time
Required Qualifications:
  • 6+ years of professional engineering experience, 3+ years owning production systems end-to-end
  • System design: configurable multi-tenant systems from first principles; can explain trade-offs to non-engineers
  • Backend & platform engineering: production proficiency in Python and/or Node.js/TypeScript. Comfortable with data modeling, performant SQL, idempotent APIs, multi-tenant config, concurrency
  • CI/CD & DevOps: GitHub Actions / GitLab CI, Docker, IaC
  • AI-first development: strong, current proficiency with Claude Code and other agentic tools. Shipped non-trivial production code with them
  • LLM, agent & interop: OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, MCP, A2A or comparable protocols, tool use, structured outputs, evaluation
  • IC leadership: raise the bar through reviews, design docs, and mentorship
  • Operational mindset: cost, security, observability, and on-call before you ship
  • Communication: can write a design doc, run a code review, push back on scope, explain decisions to non-technical stakeholders
Benefits:
  • Paid days off
  • medical insurance
  • 13th salary
  • wellness benefits
  • referral bonuses
Nice To Have:
  • Shopify experience: custom apps, Admin/Storefront APIs, GraphQL, webhooks, App Bridge, OAuth, Billing API, multi-store ops
  • Shopify at scale (Plus, multi-store, headless / Hydrogen)
  • Turning hardcoded per-tenant logic into a configuration-driven platform
  • MCP servers, A2A endpoints, or other agent-interop surfaces in production
  • Adjacent stack: Klaviyo, Freshdesk, Finale, ShipStation, BigQuery, GCP
  • Open-source contributions, technical writing, or visible mentorship
