Hire Shopify
A Shopify developer under your brand.
Theme and storefront work for a store you or your client already runs.
What this developer does for you
They change the storefront people actually use: sections, templates, and the storefront behavior the project needs. App or API work is in the seat only when the brief includes it.
Theme sections and templates
New sections and changes to templates in the theme you already have.
Storefront behavior
The JavaScript and Liquid the theme needs for the change, reviewed before it is live.
A build you can roll off
Add a senior for the project and end the seat when it ships. Month to month, no placement fee.
Your client’s name on the work
On an agency seat they use your name, email, and tools. The client does not see AlbanianHire.
How we vet for Shopify
The practical exercise is the Shopify work they claim, not a stand-in from another stack. English is scored in a live conversation, then a live technical interview, then a paid task.
01
English
A live conversation. A certificate does not stand in for it.
02
Timed test
A practical exercise on the stack they claim.
03
Live interview
How they reason, and what they do with a correction.
04
Paid task
Scored before anyone is introduced to you.
From pricing
Senior engineer (5+ years) from $65/hr, from about $10,400/mo at 160 hours. Mid-level engineer (2–5 years) from $45/hr, from about $7,200/mo. Junior (0–2 years) is quoted with the role. A custom quote confirms the role.
Years are a guide. Our coding test and live interview confirm the final level. The default shift is 8:00 AM–4:00 PM ET (14:00–22:00 CET for the developer). Month to month, no placement fee. If it is not the right fit in the first 30 days, we replace the developer at no cost.
Shopify questions
Is Shopify only for agencies?
Agencies use it as overflow under their own brand. A software company can hire the same seat for its own store. Either way, you interview the developer before anything is signed.
Who owns the code and the IP?
They work in your tools and sign your NDA. The engagement is written so work product is assigned to your company. Have your counsel read the agreement before an engagement starts. The legal pages here are drafts, not a finished contract.
What Shopify work is in the seat?
Theme sections, templates, and the storefront behavior in the brief. We do not assume a particular Shopify plan, and we do not add app work that the brief did not ask for.
What does the seat cost?
Senior engineer (5+ years) from $65/hr, from about $10,400/mo at 160 hours. Mid-level engineer (2–5 years) from $45/hr, from about $7,200/mo. Junior (0–2 years) is quoted with the role. A custom quote confirms the role. The agency price is the same as a standard seat. The default shift is 8:00 AM–4:00 PM ET (14:00–22:00 CET for the developer), with at least 4 hours of overlap.
