eCommerce Placement is a certified Shopify Plus Partner specializing in placing Shopify and Shopify Plus developers at DTC brands, retailers, and agencies across the US, Canada, and UK. Contingency-based. No placement, no fee.
The Role
Shopify and Shopify Plus development talent is among the most sought-after in eCommerce technology. From front-end theme developers to full-stack engineers building custom Shopify apps and integrations, finding candidates with genuine platform depth requires a recruiter embedded in the Shopify ecosystem.
Our Approach
We work on contingency, meaning you pay our fee only when we successfully place a candidate. No retainer. No upfront cost. Our fee is 20% of the placed candidate's first-year base salary, invoiced on their start date.
Every placement includes a replacement guarantee. If a hire does not work out within the guarantee period, we conduct a new search at no additional cost.
Start a Search →Why Specialize
Shopify development is a distinct technical discipline. Not every developer who claims Shopify experience has the platform depth brands actually need. Here is how we screen differently.
eCommerce Placement is listed in the Shopify Plus Partner Directory. We are embedded in the Shopify ecosystem and have direct relationships with developers who have built production-grade stores, custom apps, and complex integrations on the platform.
We screen Shopify developers on Liquid templating, Checkout Extensibility, Shopify Functions, Hydrogen and Headless, theme architecture, app development, and API integrations. We distinguish genuine expertise from resume keyword matching.
A Shopify developer at a DTC brand has a different profile than one at a Shopify Plus agency. We understand both environments and match candidates to the right context for your role.
