Shopify Developer at wmg – Ontario | Jobyssey

At Warner Music Group, we’re a global collective of music makers and music lovers, tech innovators and inspired entrepreneurs, game-changing creatives and passionate team members. Here, we turn dreams into stardom and audiences into fans. We are guided by three core values that underpin everything we do across all our diverse businesses:

• Curiosity: We do our best work when we’re immersing ourselves in culture and breaking through barriers. Curiosity is the driving force behind creativity and ingenuity. It fuels innovation, and innovation is the key to our future.

• Collaboration: Making music and bringing it to the world is all about the power of originality amplified by teamwork. A great idea, like a great song, travels globally. We ignite passions and build connections across our diverse community of artists, songwriters, partners, and fans.

• Commitment: We pursue excellence for our team and our talent. Everything in music starts with a leap into the unknown, and we’re committed to keeping the faith, acting with integrity, and delivering on our promises.

Technology is one of the most important parts of our business. Whether it’s signing up new artists; ensuring we provide the right data to Spotify, YouTube, and other digital service providers; or helping artists use the latest AI tools and make thoughtful decisions with data-driven insights – technology plays an invaluable role in our success. The engineering team at Warner Music Group makes all of it a reality. Check out first-hand accounts from the WMG engineering, product, design, infrastructure and data teams in our blog!

WMG is home to a wide range of artists, musicians, and songwriters that fuel our success. That is why we are committed to creating a work environment that actively values, appreciates, and respects everyone. We encourage applications from people with a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences.

Consider a career at WMG and get the best of both worlds – an innovative global music company that retains the creative spirit of a nimble independent.

A little bit about our team:

You'll be part of the team behind Warner Music Group's direct-to-consumer storefronts, the online stores where fans buy from some of the world's best-known artists and labels. It's a chance to do meaningful e-commerce work at scale, alongside experienced developers, and to grow your skills on a platform millions of fans rely on.

Your role:

We're looking for a Shopify Developer who works across development, quality assurance (QA) and support. You'll join a mature Shopify environment with an established codebase and release process. Part of your week goes to building, from day-to-day fixes to new theme features. Part goes to QA: testing releases, catching bugs before customers do, and helping replace manual testing with automation. And part goes to support: picking up storefront issues raised by the business, investigating them and resolving them quickly.

There's a real learning curve here, and we'll support you with structured onboarding and code review. What matters most is solid Shopify fundamentals, clean code habits, a sharp eye for detail, and a genuine drive to learn and take on more over time.

Here you’ll get to:

Build and customise theme sections, templates and features in Liquid
Pick up development tickets, from settings and content changes to bug fixes and new functionality, growing into larger features as you ramp up
Build configurable sections with well-structured theme settings, so merchants can make changes without code
Write structured, maintainable code: component-based JavaScript, scoped to its section, with clear naming and no one-off workarounds
Install, configure and troubleshoot Shopify apps
Work in Git and pull request workflows, including reviewing and responding to code review
Test theme releases and new features before they go live, across browsers and devices, including mobile, checkout flows and key conversion paths
Help build and maintain test plans, checklists and regression coverage for storefront functionality
Test for accessibility against WCAG standards, including keyboard navigation, screen reader behaviour, colour contrast and form labelling
Write clear, reproducible bug reports and verify fixes
Spot repetitive manual testing and help automate it, using AI tools where they help
Pick up support tickets for storefront and Shopify admin issues, from content and settings changes to bugs reported by the business
Investigate and troubleshoot issues across themes, apps and integrations, and resolve them or escalate them with clear findings
Communicate clearly with stakeholders about what's wrong, what's being done, and when it'll be fixed

About you:

3+ years of hands-on Shopify development experience at an agency or a brand running on Shopify
A portfolio of Shopify work you can show us
Solid understanding of Shopify themes: sections, templates, theme settings and the Shopify admin
Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, Liquid, JavaScript or TypeScript, plus familiarity with lightweight client-side frameworks such as Stimulus or Alpine.js
Understanding of responsive, mobile-first development
Experience testing your own and others' work: writing test cases, running regression checks and filing clear bugs
Working knowledge of accessibility best practices and WCAG 2.1 AA, and how to test for them
Comfortable troubleshooting issues you didn't create, and explaining them clearly to non-technical people
Comfortable with Git and pull requests
Experience using AI tools in your development or testing workflow
A habit of structured code development: organised files, reusable components and code that other developers can easily read and extend
Good problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ownership of your work

We’d love it if you also had:

Shopify Plus experience
CI/CD experience, for example GitHub Actions
Experience with a test automation tool, such as Playwright, Cypress or Selenium
Visual regression testing tools
Front-end build tooling, such as Vite or webpack
Shopify CLI or the Shopify Admin API
