Your Role at Impact.com

We're looking for someone who knows Shopify well enough to challenge how we're using it. This isn't a role for someone who simply builds Shopify features. It's for an engineer who understands Shopify's platform deeply and wants to influence how one of the world's largest partnership platforms integrates with it.

Reporting to the Engineering Manager, E-commerce Platform Integrations, you'll own and evolve impact.com's Shopify integration - a critical platform connecting thousands of merchants directly to our ecosystem.

You'll help shape our approach to Shopify Apps, Web Pixels, merchant onboarding, API integrations and platform architecture while ensuring our integration continues to evolve alongside Shopify itself.

If you're the kind of engineer who enjoys reading Shopify release notes, experimenting with new platform capabilities, debating architecture decisions and building systems that scale across thousands of merchants, we'd love to talk to you.

What You'll Own

- Own the development and evolution of our Shopify integration, including Apps, Web Pixels and platform extensions. Build reliable, privacy-compliant solutions that accurately capture conversions, refunds and customer events while adapting to Shopify's evolving platform capabilities.

- Design and improve the complete merchant installation experience. You'll build secure OAuth flows, manage credentials, automate onboarding and ensure merchants can install and activate Impact with minimal friction.

- Build and maintain the Ruby on Rails application that connects Shopify with Impact's APIs and workflow engine.

- You'll design resilient webhook consumers, manage high-volume data pipelines and ensure reliable synchronisation between platforms.

- While Ruby on Rails is our primary backend technology, we're happy to support experienced Shopify engineers in developing deeper Rails expertise.

- Own the health of our Shopify integration in production.

- You'll proactively manage API version upgrades, monitor webhook delivery, troubleshoot merchant-specific issues and ensure the platform remains performant, secure and resilient as Shopify evolves.
