Frontend Developer (Ecommerce / Headless Shopify)
Imaginaire - Shopify Plus Agency

- Leeds, England, United Kingdom
About
The Role We’re looking for a mid-level/senior frontend developer to join our ecommerce delivery team after strong growth in the department.
This role is frontend-led. Most of the work you do will be across headless Shopify projects (using SanityCMS and Next.js) to turn high-quality designs into fast, reliable, production-ready builds.
You’ll also work alongside existing backend systems built in Laravel / PHP and a small number of legacy WordPress sites. We’re not expecting you to be a backend specialist, but we would expect you to be comfortable reading and navigating PHP/Laravel codebases.
This is a hands-on role, not a people management/operations role by default. You’ll be working in a small team where collaboration is encouraged.
We actively use AI tools to improve efficiency across development and delivery, and we’re looking for someone comfortable working this way.
What You'll Be Working On
Building custom Shopify storefronts (native Shopify and headless)
Frontend development using JavaScript and Next.js
Translating Figma designs into accessible, high-quality UIs
Working with Shopify APIs and frontend integrations
Collaborating with backend systems built in Laravel/PHP
Making small, safe backend changes where required
Supporting and improving existing ecommerce builds
Participating in code reviews and technical discussions
Working within clear quality assurance standards
What We're Looking For This role will suit someone who:
Is a strong, senior frontend developer
Enjoys working close to the UI and customer experience
Is comfortable in modern JavaScript/Typescript frameworks (React / Next.js)
Can deliver production-ready work independently
Is pragmatic and commercially aware
Communicates clearly in a remote-first environment
Is happy being hands-on rather than managing people
Required Experience We’re not expecting you to be an expert in everything below — we’re looking for strong frontend depth with solid working knowledge across the rest.
Strong commercial experience with JavaScript/Typescript
Solid experience Next.js
Experience building and customising Shopify storefronts
Experience integrating frontends with APIs
Ability to work confidently from design files (e.g. Figma prototypes)
Experience collaborating via GitHub and pull requests
Agency experience
Familiarity with SanityCMS or other headless CMS platforms
Backend Expectations We’re not expecting you to be a backend specialist, but you do need to:
Be comfortable reading and making changes to PHP/Laravel code if necessary
Make small, safe changes when required
Know when to escalate/collaborate on more complex backend issues
Nice To Haves (not essential)
Experience with Shopify headless builds
Experience building Shopify Apps
Experience working alongside Laravel-based systems
Experience working with Wordpress and, in particular, the Roots/Sage stack
Growth & Progression We’ve always built our structure to allow people to progress without necessarily going into people management, we value deep expertise and efficiency.
As the team grows, there may be opportunities to:
Take ownership of more complex frontend builds
Influence UI, UX, performance and frontend standards
Mentor less experienced developers
Deepen expertise in ecommerce and headless architectures
This role is designed for developers who want to grow in their craft and the responsibilities around it. To encourage this, every employee at Imaginaire receives a growth budget each year to allow attendance of industry conferences, training and books to help them build their expertise.
Progression here is about depth, ownership and impact rather than titles.
Why Join Imaginaire
Remote-first working with a UK-based team
Flexitime by default with core hours of 11am-2pm
Workcation policy allowing you to work remotely abroad for up to 4 weeks
Interesting ecommerce projects for established brands
Clear expectations and autonomy in your work
A culture that values quality, pragmatism and calm delivery
Salary We pride ourselves on offering competitive salaries that are aligned to experience and capabilities.
Hiring Process We will review each application and ask qualified candidates to complete a short questionnaire outlining their skills and experience before shortlisting and holding first interviews. In the event of multiple strong candidates, we will hold second interviews and make a final decision from there.
We aim to keep the process efficient and respectful of candidates’ time.
