Contract: Full-time, permanent

Company DescriptionImaginaire is a boutique ecommerce agency based in Nottingham, specialising in modern ecommerce design and development, SEO and PPC.

We focus on headless Shopify builds using Next.js and Sanity, helping established brands create fast, scalable, high-quality ecommerce experiences.

We operate with high standards, clear expectations and minimal bureaucracy.

The RoleWe\'re looking for a frontend developer with 2–4 years\' commercial experience to join our ecommerce delivery team.

This role is frontend-led. Most of your work will involve building and improving headless Shopify storefronts using Next.js and Sanity, translating high-quality designs into fast, reliable, production-ready builds.

You\'ll work closely with a senior developer as part of a small, collaborative team. You won\'t be expected to operate in isolation, but you should be comfortable delivering high-quality frontend work with clear guidance and code review.

We actively use AI-assisted workflows across development (for refactoring, documentation, optimisation and acceleration), and we\'re looking for someone comfortable working in this way.

What You\'ll Be Working On

Building custom Shopify storefronts (native and headless)

Translating Figma designs into accessible, high-quality UIs

Working with Shopify APIs and frontend integrations

Supporting and improving existing ecommerce builds

Participating in code reviews and technical discussions

Working within clear quality assurance standards

Occasionally making small, safe changes to existing backend systems when required

What We\'re Looking ForThis role will suit someone who:

Has 2–4 years\' commercial frontend experience

Takes pride in clean, maintainable code

Has strong attention to detail

Enjoys working close to the UI and customer experience

Can deliver high-quality work within defined patterns and standards

Communicates clearly in a remote-first environment

Is pragmatic and commercially aware

Required ExperienceWe\'re not expecting you to be an expert in everything below — we\'re looking for strong frontend depth with solid working knowledge across the rest.

Solid experience with Next.js (or similar React frameworks)

Experience building and customising Shopify storefronts

Experience integrating frontends with APIs

Ability to work confidently from design files (e.g. Figma prototypes)

Experience collaborating via GitHub and pull requests

Nice to Haves (Not Essential)

Experience with headless Shopify builds

Familiarity with Sanity or other headless CMS platforms

Experience building Shopify apps

Experience working alongside Laravel-based systems

Experience with WordPress (especially Roots/Sage)

Agency experience

Growth & ProgressionAs the team grows, there may be opportunities to:

Take ownership of more complex frontend builds

Influence frontend standards, performance and structure

Mentor less experienced developers

Deepen expertise in ecommerce and headless architectures

Progression here is about depth, ownership and impact rather than titles.

Every employee at Imaginaire receives an annual growth budget for conferences, training and professional development.

Remote-first working with a UK-based team

Flexitime by default (core hours 11am–2pm)

Workcation policy (up to 4 weeks working abroad)

Interesting ecommerce projects for established brands

Clear expectations and autonomy

A culture that values quality, pragmatism and calm delivery

Hiring ProcessWe review each application and ask shortlisted candidates to complete a short questionnaire outlining their skills and experience before holding first interviews.

We aim to keep the process efficient and respectful of candidates\' time.
