- 2+ years hands-on with Shopify and its app ecosystem. You've lived in the admin.
- You know how apps inject themselves into themes, how metafields work, what breaks when apps overlap.
- Bonus for Rebuy, Klaviyo, Recharge, review apps (Okendo/Judge.me/Stamped), or loyalty apps.
- You figure things out. This is the most important line in this post. You will regularly be asked to configure apps you've never touched.
- The expectation is that you read the docs, poke the settings, test in a safe environment, and come back with it done — or with a specific, researched question ("the app can't do X natively; here are two workarounds, which do you prefer?").
- If your instinct when stuck is to ask "what should I do?" this role will make us both miserable.
- You verify your own work. "Done" means checked, not just clicked.
- If you migrate 1,400 reviews, you tell me how you confirmed all 1,400 arrived.
- Strong written English, and conversational spoken English — enough for an occasional call or screen-share walkthrough. Day-to-day communication is written.
- Async-first — most communication is Slack tickets and written updates.
- Some working-hours overlap with US Pacific time for same-day questions.
You'll get tickets, not vague requests. Every task comes with a clear definition of done. Examples of real work from my queue:
- Replicate a Rebuy Smart Cart configuration from one store to another, matching styling and rules exactly
- Set up a new loyalty + reviews stack on a store in a non-live state, ready for launch review
- Migrate all reviews from one app to another and verify the counts match — prove nothing was lost
- Adjust Klaviyo sending segments per spec, and confirm downstream flows still reference the right segments
- QA app configurations across storefronts, document discrepancies
Success is simple: tickets closed to spec, verified by you before handoff, with minimal back-and-forth. The best version of this role is someone I can hand ambiguous app-ecosystem problems to and trust the outcome.
