Own our Shopify storefront development: Build, optimize, and maintain Pool Day’s e-commerce site using Shopify Hydrogen, React, TypeScript, and Liquid templating. You’ll set the technical direction and ensure our site is fast, stable, and scalable
Launch new pages & features: Collaborate with our design and growth teams to ship landing pages, improve PDPs, and implement new features that delight customers. You turn ideas and mockups into pixel-perfect, mobile-first, responsive experiences that wow across devices
Act as a technical thought leader: Surface opportunities to business stakeholders, clarifying technical constraints, and communicating trade-offs in a way that informs decision-making
Lead & coordinate development efforts: Work with external agency developers as needed and eventually build out an internal dev team. You’ll review code, provide guidance, and make sure all development (in-house or outsourced) meets our quality standards
Own analytics integration: Implement and support our website analytics and tracking - including Google Analytics 4, event tagging, and Google Tag Manager - so that the growth team has accurate data to inform decisions
Drive experimentation (A/B testing): Set up and run A/B tests using tools like Intelligems. You’ll help formulate hypotheses with the team, test them, and iterate based on results to boost conversion and user experience
Optimize performance for SEO & CRO: Ensure our site is technically SEO-friendly and follows CRO best practices. You prioritize mobile performance, optimizing layout, speed, and interactivity for smaller screens. You’re constantly fine-tuning load times, responsiveness, and accessibility to keep our Google Lighthouse scores high
Champion code quality & documentation: Take ownership of our codebase and architecture decisions. You’ll establish coding best practices, maintain thorough documentation, and ensure that every deployment is of high quality, maintainable, and bug-free
