About the role
We don't make pretty things that don't work. As our Commerce UX/UI Designer, you'll lead design from research through to high-fidelity Figma handoff for Shopify Plus and Hydrogen storefronts. You'll be measured on conversion uplift, AOV, and how cleanly your work ships — not on awards.
What you’ll do
- Lead UX research, journey mapping, and competitive analysis for new Shopify projects.
- Design wireframes, prototypes, and pixel-perfect Figma UI for storefronts, PDPs, checkouts, and account pages.
- Run conversion-rate audits using GA4, Hotjar / Microsoft Clarity, and on-site survey data.
- Collaborate with engineering to ensure designs survive implementation — including motion specs, edge cases, and responsive behaviour.
- Build and maintain a design system that scales across 30+ active client accounts.
What we’re looking for
- 3+ years designing for e-commerce or DTC brands, ideally with Shopify exposure.
- Portfolio showing measurable conversion or revenue impact on at least two projects.
- Mastery of Figma, including auto-layout, components, and design tokens.
- Comfort partnering with developers on a daily basis — including reading basic Liquid / React.
Nice to have
- Motion design, micro-interaction, or Lottie experience.
- Direct work on Shopify Plus, Hydrogen, or headless commerce launches.
What you get
- Fully remote across Canada — work where you do your best thinking.
- Real ownership: you'll be our second design hire, shaping how design ships across the studio.
- Hardware, software, and Figma plugin budget — whatever you need.
- Profit sharing tied to client outcomes, not just utilization.
