- That’s why we’re looking for you
As a Frontend Developer, you will primarily work on our clients’ Shopify stores and continuously further develop existing setups. You improve performance, usability, and code quality and ensure that the systems remain stable and easy to further develop.
You work closely with design, account management, QA teams, and project teams and bring your technical perspective into solutions and decisions at an early stage. You help translate design concepts into intuitive, high-quality user interfaces and ensure that implementation remains clean, maintainable and performant. Clear structures and solid documentation support long-term maintainability and team collaboration. In short: your work makes brands tangible for users and enables reliable, high-quality shopping experiences.
Your responsibilities with us
You implement design templates cleanly and with great attention to detail in the frontend and ensure that design, interaction, and technical quality work together consistently and at a high level. You contribute your own ideas and develop meaningful solution approaches together with the team.
You build meaningful flexibility into shop structures (e.g. via the Theme Editor, metafields, or comparable mechanisms) so that content can be maintained efficiently and further developed without unnecessary development effort.
You implement functional extensions such as configurators, discount logics, or custom features and ensure that they remain stable, understandable, and well integrable. In doing so, you think through requirements from a technical perspective and propose suitable implementation approaches.
You work on the technical setup of the Shopify stack and continuously develop it further, identify optimization potential, and proactively contribute proposals for technical advancement to ensure performance, maintainability, and stability in daily operations.
You analyze error patterns, fix bugs in a structured way, and help ensure that systems run reliably and that technical debt is reduced.
You advise project teams and account management on technical feasibility and on a sensible approach to individual requirements so that solutions can be implemented realistically, sustainably, and with good prioritization.
Solid experience in frontend development and a confident understanding of modern web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) as well as clean, maintainable code structures.
Experience working with modern JavaScript standards and frameworks, as well as the ability to further develop existing setups and structure them in a technically sound way.
Ideally, experience in the Shopify environment, e.g. with Liquid, theme development, metafields, and common interfaces - or the motivation to deepen your expertise in this area.
Experience working with version control systems (especially Git) and a clean approach to collaborative development processes.
A structured, independent, and solution-oriented way of working - you think proactively, prioritize sensibly, and work reliably in a team.
Enjoyment of high-quality implementation, strong technical craftsmanship, and continuously improving solutions.
Very good English skills (at least B2).
Direct impact & room for shaping – You actively help shape the structures of a growing agency, contribute your ideas, and have real leverage on efficiency, growth, and culture.
Responsibility & trust – You work independently, make strong decisions, and collaborate as equals - with backing, room for initiative, and the freedom to truly move things forward.
A healthy way of working together – We place great value on a respectful, supportive, and open working atmosphere. Discussions are constructive, collaboration is appreciative, and solutions are sought together.
Hybrid work with team spirit – Whether in the Cologne office or remotely: we stay closely connected through regular exchange, shared rituals, and a lot of passion.
Strong team culture – Our shared values shape our everyday work. Team events and trips are a great opportunity to experience this connection outside of daily work as well.
Fair benefits – Home office allowance, modern Apple hardware, equipment allowance, company pension scheme (25% employer contribution), and much more.
