Web Developer (LATAM/South Africa) - 17626

Location: Remote - Open to LATAM / South Africa

We are transitioning from a primarily brick-and-mortar model to a direct-to-consumer (D2C) and subscription-led digital strategy. The current website is clunky, expensive to maintain, and a major blocker to growth.

The Web Developer will own the overhaul, optimization, and ongoing management of the Shopify website, ensuring it supports:

• A new subscription program.
• A Q3 2026 product launch (innovative coffee byproduct).
• Scalable, cost-effective digital growth.

This role is critical to unlocking revenue, improving customer experience, and reducing ongoing development costs.
 

• Lead the rebuild and optimization of the existing Shopify website.
• Improve backend usability, speed, stability, and scalability.
• Implement subscription functionality and D2C best practices.
• Support product launches, promotions, and landing pages.
• Ensure mobile responsiveness, performance optimization, and SEO fundamentals.
• Manage integrations (payments, subscriptions, analytics, email, etc.).
• Reduce reliance on expensive external agencies by owning ongoing site updates.

• Collaborate with leadership to support D2C growth initiatives.
• Implement CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) improvements to increase conversion rates.
• Track and report on website performance and user behavior.
• Ensure the website is launch-ready for Q3 2026 initiatives.

• Proven experience as a Shopify Web Developer.
• Strong understanding of D2C and eCommerce best practices.
• Ability to work independently and take full ownership of a website.
• Experience with subscriptions, product launches, and scaling eCommerce sites.
• Comfortable working remotely and asynchronously.
• Strong problem-solving and cost-conscious mindset.

These are not required, but highly valuable:

• Digital marketing support (email, paid ads, landing pages).
• Social media integration and content optimization.
• AI tools for marketing, automation, or content creation.
• Basic design sensibility (UX/UI best practices).
