Healthtech Ventures GmbH
Lippmannstraße 8
22769 Hamburg

Healthtech Ventures (HTV) is one of Germany's most innovative and fastest-growing digital health companies.
We operate a portfolio of integrated telemedicine platforms that connect patients, doctors, and pharmacies — making modern healthcare more accessible, efficient, and patient-centered.
Our platforms — Prio One, SoLean, and Nordleaf — cover some of the most dynamic therapeutic areas, including women's health, weight management, and medicinal cannabis. HTV combines medical expertise, digital excellence, and operational precision to deliver outstanding patient experiences and sustainable growth.

The Senior Shopify Engineer is the first engineer dedicated entirely to Shopify at HTV — responsible for designing and expanding the Shopify ecosystem across multiple brands and organisations. You own Shopify as a domain: Functions, Extensions, Liquid, and Custom Apps. No context-switching between Shopify and a dozen other systems. Your entire focus is the platform you know best.

You work directly with the CPO on a daily basis, alongside platform heads and an existing strong backend engineering team. Shopify is your domain. You take what has been built on Nordleaf — PharmOps, multi-org architecture, checkout compliance — and make it work everywhere.

• Build server-side logic using Shopify Functions and develop custom apps on GCP (Cloud Run, PostgreSQL) to power platform operations.

• Manage multi-org pipelines using a single codebase to serve multiple Shopify Plus organizations with independent services and a shared database.

• Lead Shopify architecture (themes, Functions, Extensions, custom apps) across all HTV brands, including Nordleaf, Prio One, and SoLean.

2. Cross-Platform Rollout

• Design platform-agnostic features from day one to ensure repeatable, low-cost deployment across multiple brands.

• Scale Nordleaf innovations, such as PharmOps and UTM attribution, to other platforms like Prio One and SoLean.

• Collaborate with Platform Owners to adapt shared infrastructure to specific requirements without forking the codebase.
  

• Champion an AI-first culture by evaluating and adopting new tooling to accelerate the Shopify development lifecycle.

• Integrate AI tools like Claude and Cursor as core infrastructure to maintain high development velocity.
  

• Automate deployments by building CI/CD pipelines and documenting all architecture decisions and technical specifications.

• Own QA and code reviews to ensure high coding standards, mobile compatibility, and minimal production incidents.
