Senior Shopify Operations & Tech Lead ($900 Start + Growth)

Job Overview:
I am looking for a dedicated, long-term technical partner to take "ownership" of my Shopify store’s performance. I don't want an order-taker; I want a thinker. You will be responsible for testing apps, fixing site bugs, and helping me scale our revenue through technical optimization.

Our first major project together will be auditing and rebuilding our Upsell strategy (moving from ---------- to Rebuy or a similar high-performance tool).

Key Responsibilities:

App Logic & Migration: You will be the point person for testing new apps. You’ll lead the migration to Rebuy, setting up AI rules and Smart Carts to increase our AOV.

Theme Development & Fixes: Directly editing Liquid, CSS, and JS. You must be comfortable troubleshooting mobile UI issues and site speed bottlenecks.

Weekly "Success" Reports: Every Monday, you will send a summary of what you tested, what the data shows (using Shopify Analytics), and what we should change next.

Proactive Site Health: You will audit the store weekly for broken links, app conflicts, and checkout errors—fixing them before I even see them.

Technical Requirements:

Expert Liquid Knowledge: You can build custom sections from scratch.

Conversion Mindset: You understand that "good code" is code that makes the customer buy more.

Communication: Fluent English. We will communicate primarily via WhatsApp.

Schedule: You must have 3-4 hours of overlap with my late-night shift (10 PM – 2 AM Eastern Time / EST). This allows us to collaborate in real-time.

Compensation & Perks:

Starting Salary: $900 USD / Month (Paid on time, every month).

Path to $1,000+: Once you prove your value and help us grow our AOV/Conversion rate, your pay will increase accordingly.

Direct Access: Work 1-on-1 with the founder. No agency layers or middle-men.

Failure to follow these 4 steps will result in an immediate rejection.

1) Subject Line: Change your subject line to: "UPSTREAM - [Your Name] - Shopify Tech Lead"

2) Loom Video: Record a 1-2 minute video. Introduce yourself and explain one time you caught a technical error on a Shopify site and how you fixed it.

3) The Question: In your application, answer this: "If a Shopify store is loading slowly on mobile, what are the first 3 things you check?"

4) The Detail: What is your favorite pizza topping? (I check this to see if you read the whole post).
