A bit about the work
Great front-end work is what turns a design into something people actually want to use — fast, polished, and true to what the designer intended. On Shopify, it’s also where the storefront lives: the theme, the interactions, and the clever little details that make a store feel effortless to shop.
It’s a craft. Getting a build pixel-accurate, responsive and quick, then wiring up the interactions that make it sing — that’s a genuinely satisfying thing to be good at. And on a platform like Shopify, knowing the tools inside out is what separates a decent storefront from a brilliant one.
So this time we’re after a front-end developer: someone who lives in Liquid, HTML, CSS and JavaScript, loves turning a Figma design into the real thing, and knows Shopify well enough to make the platform work hard for our clients.
Who are we?
This company is an award-winning e-commerce development agency and Shopify Platinum Partner, based in Norwich. Working with scale-hungry DTC and retail brands, from traditional retailers who want the whole thing managed for them, through to some genuinely weird and wonderful businesses who just want a seamless way to get people to buy their products.
We’re busy and we’ve got ambitious growth plans. This role sits across a healthy mix of project and retainer work — big storefront builds one week, considered improvements for long-standing clients the next.
What is the job?
You’ll report to Head of Development and, depending on the projects you’re working on, potentially one of the Senior Frontend Developers — working as part of the dev team. This is a hands-on build role, turning designs into fast, polished Shopify storefronts and keeping our clients’ sites in great shape. As a Shopify Platinum Partner, the Shopify platform is at the heart of everything you’ll do. In a nutshell, your duties and responsibilities will be -
- Building and maintaining Shopify storefronts in Liquid, HTML, CSS and JavaScript — new theme builds from the ground up and improvements to existing ones.
- Translating Figma designs into pixel-accurate, responsive, accessible front-ends.
- Writing advanced JavaScript for Shopify Functions, checkout and theme app extensions, and custom storefront interactions.
- Working across a mix of project and retainer work — new builds, feature work, improvements and fixes for existing clients.
- Helping clients get the most out of Shopify — explaining the platform, advising on what’s possible, and being a go-to for Shopify know-how. It’s not all about the code; helping clients understand Shopify is hugely valuable to us.
- Writing clean, documented, maintainable code — documentation comes as standard with your work here.
- Working on bug fixes and helping keep our themes and codebase healthy.
- Attending and contributing to development meetings, and giving the Head of Development / PM team honest estimations and milestone updates.
- Occasionally rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck into our internal projects (we build our own tools too).
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who are we looking for?
A solid, effective mid-level front-end developer — someone with a couple of years of commercial experience who can hit the ground running and add real value. That said, we’re open to a talented junior if the right person comes along, so if you’re earlier in your career but sharp, keen and good at what you do, still get in touch.
If you’ve been an in-house front-end dev seeking more variety in your projects and fancy trying agency life? Brilliant — this could be a great match.
The essentials:
- Strong Shopify Liquid experience — theme development is the core of this role.
- Excellent HTML, CSS and JavaScript — clean, semantic, responsive and accessible by default.
- Advanced JavaScript, especially for Shopify Functions, extensions and custom storefront behaviour.
- Confident translating Figma designs into pixel-accurate front-ends.
- Comfortable using AI tooling as part of your everyday development workflow — it’s a normal part of how we work here, not a novelty.
- Confident with Git-based version control and a clean branching / pull-request workflow.
- The ability to write clean, maintainable, well-documented code and manage your own workload across multiple projects at varying stages.
- Comfortable in a collaborative, sprint-based team working to tight deadlines — someone who can help clear a backlog effectively.
- Au fait with the usual kit: wikis, Slack, G-Suite and time-tracking software.

The bonuses (these are what’ll make you stand out):
- Being a Shopify Admin whizz. Deep, hands-on knowledge of how stores are set up and run — and the ability to help clients understand and get the most from Shopify — is hugely valuable to us. It really isn’t all about the dev.
- Shopify API knowledge (Admin, Storefront, GraphQL) — super helpful.
- Experience with store migrations / replatforming — useful, though not the main focus of this particular role.
- Familiarity with Hydrogen or React for headless builds.
- Previous agency experience, or experience in a fast-paced multi-project dev setting.
What’s in it for you?
- A competitive salary for the Norfolk tech scene. We did the research.
- Hybrid working — 3 days in the office, 2 at home, negotiable once you’ve passed probation. We’d love you to be Norfolk or Suffolk based for a comfortable commute (this isn’t a remote-only role — much of the team’s in most days and the office atmosphere is a big part of who we are).
- Free parking on site, in a spot that’s convenient for commuting.
- A non-corporate environment — jeans and a t-shirt far more likely than a shirt and chinos.
- A holiday allowance.
- Private medical cover — even as a small business, we’ve got benefits.
- Company pension scheme.
- Half-yearly salary reviews, with regular reward and incentives, plus a financial bonus at Christmas if we’ve had a good year.
- A bustling social calendar and an office rammed with treats — we get a lot of swag sent to us and you’ll benefit from it.
- The best biscuit drawer in Norfolk. We’re quietly confident on this one.
