ABOUT AJ MEDIA
AJ Media is a performance-driven ecommerce growth agency scaling consumer brands toward $100M. Our engineering team builds the checkout systems, upsell flows, and funnel logic that convert traffic into revenue. We don't build for aesthetics — we build for conversion rate, average order value, and repeatability. Every line of code has a business outcome attached to it.

THE ROLE
This is a junior role — but it is NOT a passive one. You will work directly alongside our Senior Checkout Champ Developer, get hands-on with real funnel builds from day one, and be expected to grow into independent ownership within 6–12 months. If you're looking for a role where you watch and wait — this isn't it.
Our senior developer owns the full Checkout Champ and Shopify funnel stack. You will support and learn from them — implementing upsells, debugging checkout flows, assisting with Shopify customizations, and gradually taking on builds of your own. You bring foundational Checkout Champ and Shopify knowledge. We'll give you the environment to level up fast.

HOW THIS ROLE DIFFERS FROM THE SENIOR POSITION
The Senior Developer owns architecture and leads all complex builds. The Junior Developer executes components of those builds, owns smaller scoped tasks independently, troubleshoots under guidance, and builds toward full ownership. If you're applying to grow into the senior role — this is the path.

What the Senior Developer owns:
End-to-end Checkout Champ funnel architecture and strategy
Custom subscription flows and complex rebill logic
Full API integrations between platforms from spec to deployment
Payment gateway configuration and advanced troubleshooting
Final QA sign-off and production deploys

What you'll own and grow into:
Implementing upsell and downsell sequences built to the senior developer's spec
Shopify theme customizations and Liquid template edits
Tracking and pixel setup support (UTM structures, conversion events)
Checkout flow testing, bug documentation, and first-level troubleshooting
Building and maintaining internal documentation for funnel components
Taking on end-to-end ownership of smaller builds as your skill set develops

WHAT YOU'LL DO
Checkout Champ:
Assist in building and configuring Checkout Champ funnels under senior developer direction
Implement upsell and downsell offers, order bumps, and post-purchase sequences
Support payment gateway configuration and help troubleshoot checkout flow errors
Test checkout flows across devices, browsers, and payment methods — document all findings
Assist with subscription and rebill logic setup as you build familiarity with the platform

Shopify:
Customize Shopify themes using Liquid, HTML, and CSS
Implement front-end changes based on design briefs — product pages, landing pages, and checkout
Debug display or functional issues across storefronts for Gekko Gifts, Purvos, and Besyner
Support the senior developer on API integration work and third-party app configuration

Tracking & Performance Support:
Assist with pixel and tracking setup — Meta, Google, and native platform events
Help identify and document tracking discrepancies — work with the team to resolve
Understand the relationship between checkout flow changes and conversion metrics

Learning & Documentation:
Document builds, component logic, and processes as you execute them
Proactively review Checkout Champ and Shopify release notes and flag relevant changes
Ask good questions — and translate what you learn into reusable references for the team

WHO YOU ARE
1–2 years of hands-on experience with Checkout Champ — you've built or assisted with at least one live funnel
Solid Shopify fundamentals — comfortable with Liquid, theme customization, and Shopify admin
Working knowledge of JavaScript and basic front-end development (HTML, CSS)
You understand what a conversion funnel is — and why every step matters
Detail-oriented: you test your own work before marking it done, and you document what you build
You communicate clearly in writing — async-first team, remote environment, clarity is non-negotiable
Hungry to learn: you read documentation, watch build videos, and test things on your own time
Not precious about feedback — you want to know what's wrong so you can fix it

PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENT
Portfolio is mandatory. Applications without Checkout Champ or Shopify project examples will not be reviewed. Junior does not mean no evidence — it means less volume. Show us what you've built, even if it's one solid funnel.

We're looking for:
At least one Checkout Champ funnel you worked on — screenshot, Loom walkthrough, or live link
At least one Shopify project — theme customization, a landing page, or a checkout modification
If you've built less: show us what you know. A short video walkthrough of your strongest project tells us more than a CV.

STRONG PLUS
Experience with post-purchase upsell apps (ReConvert, Zipify, or similar)
Familiarity with subscription platforms (Recharge, Bold Subscriptions, or Checkout Champ rebill flows)
Exposure to media buying workflows — you understand what a media buyer cares about from the funnel
Basic understanding of conversion rate optimization principles
Experience with any API integration work, even simple webhook or Zapier flows

HIRING PROCESS
Submit portfolio (required — no exceptions)
Short take-home technical test (Checkout Champ + Shopify task — 2–3 hours)
Final interview with Senior Developer and team lead
This is a long-term opportunity. We are building a conversion engineering team that will scale with the business. The right junior developer will have a clear path to Senior Developer within 12–18 months based on output quality and ownership growth.

WHY JOIN US
Work directly under a senior developer with deep Checkout Champ expertise — one of the best learning environments available for this stack
See your code go live on real, high-traffic ecommerce brands — not staging environments
Performance bonus tied to funnel output quality and conversion improvements
Fast growth path to Senior Developer for candidates who execute and take initiative
Remote-first, results-focused team — you are measured on what you ship, not your hours
Work across three growing consumer brands with more launches planned
