About Us:
BURLEBO is a growing brand in men's outdoor clothing, dedicated to providing high-quality, durable, and stylish gear for the Athlete, the Outdoors, and the Family. We are passionate about innovation, sustainability, and performance-driven apparel that empowers our team and customers to explore the great outdoors with confidence.
About the role
We're a fast-growing direct-to-consumer brand, and we're looking for a Shopify Plus Developer to own the technical development of our storefront and the apps that power it.
This is a builder's role with real ownership. You'll write custom Shopify apps, replace third-party apps with in-house solutions where it makes sense, and have a genuine voice in how we improve the customer experience. We don't want someone who only executes a ticket queue - we want a technical partner who brings ideas about performance, conversion, and what's worth building versus buying.
You'll partner closely with our technology leadership and cross-functional teams (marketing, merchandising, ops).
To be considered, please fill out this survey: https://surveys.cultureindex.com/s/VK2opX4gLU/130183
What you'll do
โข Build custom Shopify apps using the Shopify APIs (Admin, Storefront, GraphQL) and a modern backend stack (Node.js and/or Ruby) to solve needs that off-the-shelf apps don't, or don't justify their cost..
โข Replace paid third-party apps with in-house builds where it makes sense - evaluating which apps are worth bringing under our own control, building the replacements, and maintaining them..
โข Develop and maintain our theme - Liquid, JavaScript, HTML/CSS - with an eye toward performance and maintainability..
โข Own integrations between Shopify and our other systems (ERP, PIM, subscription, marketing, analytics, fulfillment, etc.)..
โข Improve site experience proactively. Monitor site speed, conversion, and UX, and bring forward your own recommendations - not just implement requests handed to you..
โข Own technical quality: code review standards, documentation, version control, testing, and safe deployment practices, helping shape how we build..
What you'll own
โข The technical roadmap for our Shopify storefront, in partnership with technology leadership..
โข The build, deployment, and maintenance of our custom apps and integrations..
โข Site performance and the technical side of conversion-rate optimization..

โข Comfort working autonomously, with sound judgment about build-vs-buy and long-term maintainability..
โข A portfolio or examples of custom Shopify work you can walk us through..
Nice to have
โข Headless / Hydrogen experience (or interest in moving us that direction over time)..
โข Experience at a high-growth DTC brand..
โข CRO / performance optimization track record with measurable results..
โข Experience migrating off paid apps to custom solutions..
โข Familiarity with our specific integration surface (ERP, PIM, subscriptions, email/SMS platforms)..
Who you'll work with
โข Technology leadership - your manager and primary technical collaborator..
โข Cross-functional partners in marketing and operations..
What success looks like (first 6-12 months)
โข You've ramped on our store architecture and integration landscape..
โข You've identified and begun replacing at least one high-cost third-party app with a maintainable in-house build..
โข You're proactively surfacing site-experience and performance improvements, with at least a few shipped and measured..
โข You've established baseline engineering practices (documentation, deployment, version control) so the work you build is maintainable beyond any single person..
