AI-First Shopify Engineer – Rapid Store Transformation (Catalog, UX, AI Agents)

We are looking for a technical, AI-native Shopify engineer to rapidly transform an existing Shopify store using modern AI workflows.

We want someone who understands how AI, structured product data, and modern Shopify APIs can be used to dramatically upgrade:

Product pages

Visuals

UX

Store intelligence

The goal is to achieve in days what normally takes weeks, by using leverage, automation, and AI systems.

Product data quality

UX friction

AI readability

Using AI tools to

Enrich product descriptions and metadata

Making the store more usable for humans and AI agents

What We Care About

Speed through leverage

Comfort orchestrating multiple AI tools

We do not care about

Engineering or highly technical background

Solid UX intuition

Clear written communication

Nice to Have

Familiarity with

Shopify APIs (Catalog, Admin, etc.)

How to Apply (Required)

Start your proposal with

“Store as Data, not Pages – [your name]”

Then answer briefly

What AI tools have you used to speed up real work?

If given a Shopify store with 50 mediocre products, how would you upgrade it in 72 hours?
