Description

About UN/COMMON
UN/COMMON is a Shopify-focused e-commerce agency that helps mission-first brands grow through bold digital strategy, clean execution, and meaningful online experiences. We are a remote-first team of developers, creatives, and strategists who value results, trust, and smart collaboration.

The Opportunity
We are hiring a Shopify Development Manager to lead technical delivery on client projects while supporting and mentoring our growing global engineering team. This is a hands-on role best suited for a senior Shopify developer who is ready to grow into formal leadership. You will own project outcomes from kickoff through deployment while remaining actively involved in architecture, review, and delivery.

Who You Are
You are an experienced Shopify developer who has led builds, supported teammates, and managed client expectations in a fast-paced, project-based setting. You want to grow into a leadership position that still keeps you close to the work. You communicate clearly, lead with initiative, and take ownership of both your code and your team’s output.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and mentor a distributed team of Shopify developers and QA professionals
• Manage technical delivery across multiple concurrent client projects
• Act as a technical lead, providing architecture guidance, code review, and support throughout the project lifecycle
• Collaborate with Sales and Delivery teams to scope and estimate projects
• Help maintain and improve internal systems, documentation, and code standards
• Write or review code when needed to support team velocity and unblock challenges
• Maintain clear, proactive communication with internal stakeholders and client teams
• Promote continuous improvement and technical growth across the team

Who You’ll Be Leading
You will lead a remote team of developers and QA engineers working across North America, South America, and Europe. The team supports Shopify and custom e-commerce builds and values autonomy, communication, and attention to detail.

Work Style
This is a fully remote role. Team collaboration typically occurs during North American Eastern and Central time zones. Flexibility is supported, but availability for real-time communication during standard business hours is preferred.
