Shopify Theme Developer

Build custom Shopify themes and sections, Liquid-first, fast by default, for brands who need something a stock theme can't deliver.

A theme is the first thing a customer actually sees, and the one piece of a Shopify build with no room to hide a bad decision. As a Shopify Theme Developer at UVT, you'll build custom themes and sections from scratch, Online Store 2.0 architecture, Liquid, and performance as a design constraint from the first line of code, not a cleanup pass at the end.

What You'll Do

Build custom Shopify themes from a design file: section-based architecture, reusable blocks, and merchant-editable settings that actually make sense to someone using the theme editor.
Write clean, maintainable Liquid, not code that only you can safely touch six months later.
Optimize for Core Web Vitals from the start: image handling, script loading, and layout decisions that keep a theme fast as a catalogue grows.
Build and maintain reusable sections and components across projects, so each new theme isn't started completely from zero.
Work directly with designers during build, flagging early when something won't translate cleanly into a section-based theme.

What We're Looking For

Real, hands-on Shopify theme development experience: Liquid, Online Store 2.0's section/block model, and the Shopify theme editor's actual constraints.
A genuine eye for performance, not just visual accuracy. A theme that looks right but loads slowly is a problem this role exists to prevent.
Comfortable working from a Figma file precisely, including the parts that are tedious to get exactly right (spacing, responsive breakpoints, hover states).
JavaScript proficiency for the interactive parts of a theme that Liquid alone can't handle.

Nice to have: experience building themes for migration projects specifically (matching an existing brand on a new platform), Shopify Theme Store submission experience, experience with Shopify CLI and theme development workflows.

What We Offer

Remote-first work, and theme-building as a craft taken seriously, not a commodity task squeezed between other priorities.

How to Apply

Use the form on this page. A link to a live Shopify store you built the theme for tells us more than a resume alone.

Before you apply

We want to make sure you are a real person who actually looked at the site, not an auto-submitted application. Complete these steps, then enter the code in the application form.

Search Google for "United Victory Technologies Shopify Agency."
Find our site in the results and open it.
Go to the Services section.
Find "Building things like this" and click it. It opens our careers page.
On the careers page, reveal the easter egg and copy the code.

Each visit to the careers page shows its own easter egg code, so don't reuse one you saw earlier or that someone else shared with you. Use the code shown to you, right then.

Applications submitted without the correct code are rejected automatically.

Important: don't skip the flow. We monitor the full sequence of steps in a single session, not just whether the final code shows up in your application.
