Quickfire Digital Ltd.
Norwich, Norfolk
Job Title: Frontend Developer (Shopify) Type: Full Time (37.5hrs) Location: Norwich, United Kingdom Department: Development Reporting to: Head of Development / Senior Developers Salary: £30,000 - £45,000 per annum A bit about the work Great front-end work is what turns a design into something people actually want to use - fast, polished, and true to what the designer intended. On Shopify, it's also where the storefront lives: the theme, the interactions, and the clever little details that make a store feel effortless to shop. It's a craft. Getting a build pixel-accurate, responsive and quick, then wiring up the interactions that make it sing - that's a genuinely satisfying thing to be good at. And on a platform like Shopify, knowing the tools inside out is what separates a decent storefront from a brilliant one. Who are we? We're Quickfire Digital - an award-winning e-commerce development agency and Shopify Platinum Partner, based in Norwich. We work with scale-hungry DTC and retail brands, from traditional retailers who want the whole thing managed for them, through to some genuinely weird and wonderful businesses who just want a seamless way to get people to buy their products. We're busy and we've got ambitious growth plans. This role sits across a healthy mix of project and retainer work - big storefront builds one week, considered improvements for long-standing clients the next. What is the job? You'll report to our Head of Development and, depending on the projects you're working on, potentially one of our Senior Frontend Developers - working as part of the dev team. This is a hands on build role, turning designs into fast, polished Shopify storefronts and keeping our clients' sites in great shape. As a Shopify Platinum Partner, the Shopify platform is at the heart of everything you'll do. In a nutshell, your duties and responsibilities will be Translating Figma designs into pixel-accurate, responsive, accessible front-ends. Working across a mix of project and retainer work - new builds, feature work, improvements and fixes for existing clients. Helping clients get the most out of Shopify - explaining the platform, advising on what's possible, and being a go-to for Shopify know how. It's not all about the code; helping clients understand Shopify is hugely valuable to us. Writing clean, documented, maintainable code - documentation comes as standard with your work here. Working on bug fixes and helping keep our themes and codebase healthy. Attending and contributing to development meetings, and giving the Head of Development / PM team honest estimations and milestone updates. Occasionally rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck into our internal projects (we build our own tools too). Who are we looking for? We're ideally after a solid, effective mid-level front-end developer - someone with a couple of years of commercial experience who can hit the ground running and add real value. That said, we're open to a talented junior if the right person comes along, so if you're earlier in your career but sharp, keen and good at what you do, still get in touch. If you've been an in-house front-end dev seeking more variety in your projects and fancy trying agency life? Brilliant - this could be a great match. The essentials: Strong Shopify Liquid experience - theme development is the core of this role. Confident translating Figma designs into pixel-accurate front-ends. Comfortable using AI tooling as part of your everyday development workflow - it's a normal part of how we work here, not a novelty. Confident with Git-based version control and a clean branching / pull-request workflow. The ability to write clean, maintainable, well-documented code and manage your own workload across multiple projects at varying stages. Comfortable in a collaborative, sprint-based team working to tight deadlines - someone who can help clear a backlog effectively. Au fait with the usual kit: wikis, Slack, G Suite and time tracking software. The bonuses (these are what'll make you stand out): Being a Shopify Admin whizz. Deep, hands on knowledge of how stores are set up and run - and the ability to help clients understand and get the most from Shopify - is hugely valuable to us. It really isn't all about the dev. Shopify API knowledge (Admin, Storefront, GraphQL) - super helpful. Experience with store migrations / replatforming - useful, though not the main focus of this particular role. Familiarity with Hydrogen or React for headless builds. Previous agency experience, or experience in a fast paced multi project dev setting. What's in it for you? Let's be upfront - we're not Meta or Google, and we can't match those salaries. But nor do you get the relentless pressure that tends to come with them. What we can offer A genuinely competitive salary for the Norfolk tech scene. We did the research. Hybrid working - 3 days in the office, 2 at home, negotiable once you've passed probation. We'd love you to be Norfolk or Suffolk based for a comfortable commute (this isn't a remote-only role - much of the team's in most days and the office atmosphere is a big part of who we are). Free parking on site, in a spot that's convenient for commuting. A non-corporate environment - jeans and a t shirt far more likely than a shirt and chinos. Private medical cover - even as a small business, we've got benefits. Company pension scheme. Half yearly salary reviews, with regular reward and incentives, plus a financial bonus at Christmas if we've had a good year. A bustling social calendar and an office rammed with treats - we get a lot of swag sent to us and you'll benefit from it. The best biscuit drawer in Norfolk. We're quietly confident on this one. What's the interview process? Nice and simple - no endless multi stage process here. A chat with our Head of Development - your chance to ask everything you need, talk through your experience, and decide if we're the place for you. Usually a call or video call. A technical task, so we can see how you think and work. Nothing designed to trip you up - just a fair look at how you approach a real world problem. A final interview with one of our co founders and the Head of Development, in person - so you can see the office, meet the team and get a proper feel for the place. Then we make you an offer, and hopefully you say yes. Apply today - we're looking forward to hearing from you. A quick note: this is a hybrid role - 3 days in the office, 2 at home - so please only apply if you're able to commute to Norwich. We're handling this one directly: no recruiters, no agencies, no contractors, thank you. PS - we cannot and do not offer visa sponsorship at this time. Please be aware of this upon application.

Norwich, Norfolk
Job Title: Backend Developer (Laravel / PHP) Type: Full Time (37.5hrs) Location: Norwich, United Kingdom Department: Development Reporting to: Head of Development / Senior Backend Developer Salary: £30,000 - £40,000 per annum A bit about the work Good backend development turns lines of code into something that actually works - an app, an integration, a website that quietly does clever things in the background. In e-commerce, that background work is where a lot of the value (and the revenue) lives. Most retailers don't have the skills to make their systems talk to each other - they can't wire up the third party that runs their warehouse, their subscriptions, their ERP or their loyalty programme, and the data ends up stranded where it's no use to anyone. That's where we come in - and increasingly, it's the kind of work we want to do more of. So this time we're after a backend developer: someone who's comfortable in the server-side, cares about a well-structured database, and enjoys the challenge of making two systems that were never designed to talk to each other work together. Who are we? We're Quickfire Digital - an award-winning e-commerce development agency and Shopify Platinum Partner, based in Norwich. We work with scale-hungry DTC and retail brands, from traditional retailers who want the whole thing managed for them, through to some genuinely weird and wonderful businesses who just want a seamless way to get people to buy their products. We're busy, we've got ambitious growth plans, and alongside our Shopify build work we're diversifying into application development and a few other fun areas when the project's right for the studio. That's exactly the kind of work this role leans into. What is the job? You'll report to our Head of Development and our Senior Backend Developer, working as part of the dev team. This is a hands-on build role - focused on writing great backend code, not managing people. As a Shopify Platinum Partner, much of your work will centre on the Shopify ecosystem: building the integrations and backend services that sit in and around our clients' stores. You'll be the person we point at the harder server-side problems. In a nutshell, your duties and responsibilities will be Building and maintaining backend systems in PHP and Laravel - custom functionality, internal tools, application work and the bits of client projects that go beyond the theme. Designing and building third party API integrations - connecting Shopify and our clients' wider tech stacks (ERPs, PIMs, subscription platforms, warehouses, loyalty, payment providers and the rest). Database design and management - sensible table structures, migrations, and data that's modelled to last. Handling data transposition, migration and integration work as part of build and replatforming projects. Assisting the development team with software design, code and problem-solving across projects. Writing clean, documented, testable code - documentation comes as standard with your work here. Working on bug fixes and helping keep the codebase healthy. Attending and contributing to development meetings, and giving the Head of Development / PM team honest estimations and milestone updates. Engaging with clients where needed - explaining the technical side in human language and telling us what we need from them to move a project forward. Occasionally rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck into our internal projects (we build our own tools too). Who are we looking for? We're after a solid, effective mid-level developer who can hit the ground running and add real value - this is a growth role off the back of some recent project wins and expanding accounts. It's not a junior position, so we do need to see demonstrable commercial experience - ideally two to four years working with PHP - but you don't need to be at senior level. This is a great step for someone ready to take on meatier backend and integration work. If you've been an in-house backend dev seeking more variety in your projects and fancy trying agency life? Brilliant - this could be a great match. The essentials: Solid, demonstrable experience with PHP and Laravel - this is the core of the role. Strong MySQL and relational database skills: table design, infrastructure and implementation best practice. Experience with background jobs and queues (Laravel Horizon) - a lot of our integration work runs on these. A habit of writing automated tests (PHPUnit or Pest). Confident with Git-based version control and a clean branching / pull-request workflow. Experience with data transposition, migration and integration processes. Comfortable using AI tooling as part of your everyday development workflow - it's a normal part of how we work here, not a novelty. The ability to write clean, maintainable, well-documented code and manage your own workload across multiple projects at varying stages. Comfortable in a collaborative, sprint-based team working to tight deadlines - someone who can help clear a backlog effectively. Au fait with the usual kit: wikis, Slack, G-Suite and time-tracking software. The bonuses (these are what'll make you stand out): Shopify experience - a big plus for us. As a Shopify Platinum Partner, most of what we build lives in and around the Shopify ecosystem, so hands-on experience with the Shopify Admin API, app development, or headless / integration work will put you right at home. Third party API integration experience - REST and GraphQL. If you've built and maintained integrations between commerce platforms and external systems, we really want to hear from you. Node.js and Cloudflare Workers - we use these across recent projects and our own internal tooling, so experience here is a real plus. Deployment and server management, ideally with Laravel Forge. Experience with CI/CD pipelines and Docker. Familiarity with Vue.js or React. Previous agency experience, or experience in a fast-paced multi-project dev setting. What's in it for you? A genuinely competitive salary for the Norfolk tech scene. We did the research. Hybrid working - 3 days in the office, 2 at home, negotiable once you've passed probation. We'd love you to be Norfolk or Suffolk based for a comfortable commute (this isn't a remote-only role - much of the team's in most days and the office atmosphere is a big part of who we are).
