Are you our new Senior Frontend Developer (Shopify)?
Do you want to build high-quality ecommerce experiences on Shopify for ambitious Danish and international brands? At Novicell, you
will work with modern Shopify storefronts in close collaboration with backend developers, solution architects, project managers,
and specialists across UX, CRO, SEO, and paid media. The Shopify team is growing quickly, and this role is designed to strengthen
our ability to deliver robust, scalable, and high-performing frontend solutions across both new implementations and ongoing client
development.
Then this opportunity might be just the step you’re looking for in your career.
A part of the team
Novicell is a leading digital consulting firm that helps companies realize their digital potential. We combine technical expertise
with creative innovation to deliver tailored solutions to our clients. Our diverse team of specialists works together with one
goal in mind: to create exceptional results and push the boundaries of digital development.
As a Senior Frontend Developer in our Shopify Team, you will be part of the Platform Solutions Unit, working closely with backend
developers, solution architects, project managers, and specialists across adjacent disciplines. Your primary focus will be
theme-based Shopify frontend development, where you will take both hands-on implementation responsibility and senior ownership of
frontend workstreams across projects.
This is not only about building features. It is also about making sound technical decisions, structuring solutions for long-term
maintainability, and helping ensure high standards in frontend delivery across the Shopify Team. In senior capacity, you are
expected to take ownership of your area, collaborate directly with clients when relevant, and help drive work forward from scoping
to delivery.

includes both hands-on development and technical ownership across projects.

Advising on the best approach for theme customizations, reusable components, and frontend architecture within Shopify

Supporting solution scoping and estimation together with developers, project managers, and solution architects
Making informed technical trade-offs and communicating them clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Acting as a quality gate through code reviews, sparring, and shared standards across frontend delivery
Contributing to reusable patterns, best practices, and continuous improvement within the Shopify Team
Your day-to-day tasks will include
Building and maintaining Shopify storefront features and theme customizations
Implementing sections, templates, components, and content structures in Shopify
Writing clean, well-structured, and maintainable frontend code
Collaborating closely with designers and specialists to ensure strong implementation quality
Debugging frontend issues across browsers, devices, and environments
Reviewing code from other developers and contributing to shared frontend standards
Working closely with backend developers, architects, and project managers on solution design and delivery
Supporting QA, regression validation, and release readiness across projects

Helping ensure that delivered solutions are stable, scalable, and maintainable over time

Salary based on qualifications
Get a chance to work at a “flink” and “flittig” workplace
Work amongst innovative and inspiring colleagues in a challenging work environment, in which your contribution is highly valued.
Here at Novicell we have replaced extensive employee handbooks and ancient rules with dialogue, responsibility, and trust. We
encourage social interaction to create an even better work environment and it is our shared opinion that work must be enjoyable.
We strive to have fun while delivering the best results possible – why else devote so many waking hours together?
Novicell’s motto is “flink” and “flittig”, which is Danish for “kind” and “diligent”. This means we treat each other well while
providing the best possible service to our clients. More specifically this means we offer:
An informal organization with a large degree of freedom and flexibility
A creative and inspiring environment with the chance to influence the organization’s development
A strong social culture with many activities and events
The industry’s most “flinke” and “flittige” colleagues
Here at Novicell, you do not get extra points for being the last person at the office every day. We respect the difference between
“work time” and “free time”, therefore we encourage you to pack up at the end of the day, go home, and do something else than
working.
