SUMMARY
Buff City Soap's eCommerce platform is core to how we serve customers across our fast-growing franchise network, and it's evolving fast. We operate a best-in-class Shopify Plus site that delivers a seamless brand experience alongside our ~200-store brick-and-mortar footprint, bringing the same retail theater that defines our stores to every customer touchpoint, especially online. Same-day, ship-from-store, and BOPIS fulfillment run across hundreds of locations through this platform, and we're growing it further through site optimization, social and influencer channels, and emerging partnerships like Amazon. We need a developer who can own the platform end-to-end, someone who writes clean Liquid and JavaScript, understands the Shopify ecosystem deeply, and wants to work close to the business logic that makes omnichannel retail actually work, not on an island, but a core part of our overall customer offering, extending the brand experience with every release.

This is a hands-on, build-and-own role. You'll have real ownership of the storefront and the freedom to bring better ways of doing things to the team.
