To thrive as a Senior Unity Game Programmer, you need advanced proficiency in C#, deep knowledge of Unity’s engine, and a solid background in computer science or related fields.

Strong problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication distinguish top performers in this role. These skills are crucial for developing high-quality, efficient games and for collaborating productively within multidisciplinary teams.

How does a Senior Unity Game Programmer typically collaborate with artists and designers during a game development project?

A Senior Unity Game Programmer works closely with artists and designers to ensure the technical feasibility and smooth implementation of game features. This often involves translating creative concepts into functional gameplay mechanics, integrating art assets, and providing technical guidance on performance optimization. Regular communication and iterative feedback are key, as programmers may need to adjust code to accommodate changes in design or visuals. Being proactive in cross-disciplinary meetings helps align technical solutions with the overall vision and ensures a cohesive final product.

Pattern has been named one of the fastest growing tech companies headquartered in North America by Deloitte and one of best-led companies by Inc. We place employee experience at the center of our business model and have been recognized as one of Newsweek's Global Most Loved Workplaces.

We are looking for a Senior Shopify Developer to lead the technical evolution of our high-growth storefronts on Shopify Plus. You will be a true game-changer, responsible for a complete website revamp and building custom, scalable solutions that define the future of our digital presence. If you thrive on technical challenges like building custom apps and navigating the complexities of Checkout Extensibility, this is your chance to make a massive impact.
What are the responsibilities of a Shopify Developer at Pattern?

  • Architect & Launch: Lead the end-to-end installation of new Shopify stores, including custom theme development (Liquid/Hydrogen), module integration, and complex API configurations.

  • Modernize for Agentic Commerce: Execute the migration of stores from outdated, monolithic stacks to modern, headless, or optimized Shopify environments, ensuring they are "agent-ready" with clean data structures and robust API endpoints.

  • Public App Development: Build and maintain Pattern's public Shopify applications, ensuring seamless integration between Pattern's proprietary technology and the Shopify admin.

  • Bridge the Gap: Work closely with our Data and AI teams to ensure our Shopify implementations support the next generation of automated commerce.

  • Optimize for Scale: Ensure all builds meet the highest standards for performance, SEO, and global accessibility for brands operating in dozens of international markets.

  • Collaborate with other Teams: Help cross-functional teams to integrate third-party systems like ERPs, CRMs, and payment gateways

What will I need to thrive in this role?

  • Shopify Mastery: 5+ years of deep experience with Shopify's ecosystem (Liquid, Shopify Flow, Scripts, and Checkout Extensibility).

  • Modern Web Stack: Proficiency in React, Node.js, and Remix (the standard for Shopify App development). Experience with Hydrogen/Oxygen is a major plus.

  • API Expert: Extensive experience with Shopify's GraphQL and REST Admin APIs, as well as the Storefront API.

  • Migration Veteran: A proven track record of migrating large-scale stores from platforms like Magento, Salesforce, or custom legacy stacks onto Shopify.

  • Product Mindset: You don't just write code; you understand the business logic of e-commerce-from conversion rate optimization (CRO) to complex inventory fulfillment.

  • Coding Proficiency: Mastery of Shopify Liquid, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and TypeScript.

  • Integration Knowledge: Skilled in managing Webhooks, Customer Events, and complex third-party API integrations.

  • Performance Driven: A strong understanding of SEO, accessibility, and web performance optimization standards.

  • The "Agentic" Vision: An interest in or experience with AI/LLMs and how they interface with structured e-commerce data.

What does high performance look like?

  • Execution Excellence: Successful delivery of a fully revamped, high-converting storefront within established timelines.

  • Technical Innovation: Implementation of custom Shopify Functions that migrate and improve upon legacy Shopify Scripts.

  • Team Impact: Acting as a technical anchor for the Shopify ecosystem, providing clear documentation and mentoring others on best practices.

  • Proactive Problem Solving: Identifying and resolving complex checkout or integration issues before they impact the partner experience.

What is my potential for career growth?

  • Opportunity to own the technical roadmap for global Shopify storefronts.

  • Direct involvement in high-stakes projects like headless Shopify migrations and advanced app extensions.

  • Networking with a global team of elite developers and e-commerce experts.

  • Growth into leadership roles as the Shopify development team continues to expand.

What does success look like in the first 30, 60, 90 days?

  • 30 Days: Complete a full technical audit of the current ecosystem, build relationships with cross-functional teams, and begin contributing to high-priority maintenance tasks.

  • 60 Days: Finalize the technical roadmap for the storefront revamp and begin executing the migration of legacy systems to modern Shopify Plus standards.

  • 90 Days: Successfully deploy a major architectural improvement or custom application that measurably enhances the partner experience and sets the foundation for future commerce innovations.

What is the team like?

  • This role reports directly to the Integrations Team Lead.

  • In this role, you will collaborate closely with team members in brand-management operations, user-experience, and directly with key partners.

Sounds great! What's the company culture?

  • Game Changers- A game changer is someone who looks at problems with an open mind and shares new ideas with team members, regularly reassesses existing plans and attaches a realistic timeline to goals, makes profitable, productive, and innovative contributions, and actively pursues improvements to Pattern's processes and outcomes.

  • Data Fanatics- A data fanatic is someone who recognizes problems and seeks to understand them through data, draws unbiased conclusions based on data that lead to actionable solutions, and continues to track the effects of the solutions using data.

  • Partner Obsessed- An individual who is partner obsessed clearly explains the status of projects to partners and relies on constructive feedback, actively listens to partner's expectations, and delivers results that exceed them, prioritizes the needs of your partners, and takes the time to create a personable experience for those interacting with Pattern.

  • Team of Doers- Someone who is a part of a team of doers uplifts team members and recognizes their specific contributions, takes initiative to help in any circumstance, actively contributes to supporting improvements, and holds themselves accountable to the team as well as to partners.

What is the hiring process?

  • Initial phone screen with the Talent Acquisition team

  • Onsite technical interview and behavioral interview 

  • Interview with the Department Leader

  • Professional reference checks

  • Executive review

  • Offer

How can I stand out as an applicant?

Strong Nice-to-Haves: Experience with Shopify Scripts migration, Headless Shopify architecture, and A/B testing frameworks.
