Get Shopify Developers
Get Shopify Developers from Latin America
Theme engineers and Shopify app developers from Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia. They work in Liquid, build custom storefronts with the Storefront API, and know the Shopify ecosystem well enough to know when not to use an app.
Why LATAM for Shopify development
Real cost savings
LATAM Shopify developers cost 40-55% less than US equivalents. Senior engineers who command $130k in the US are available at $55k-$80k from Brazil or Argentina.
Timezone overlap
LATAM timezone overlap with US teams runs 4-8 hours per day. Same-day feedback cycles on design implementations and store launches are realistic.
Strong English for client work
Shopify projects involve close client communication on store setup, theme customization, and launch checklists. LATAM developers who work in e-commerce are used to client-facing English communication.
JavaScript and React depth
Strong Shopify developers understand Liquid but are equally comfortable in JavaScript and React for Headless Commerce or Hydrogen builds. LATAM has a deep React community.
E-commerce ecosystem experience
LATAM has a large and growing e-commerce market. Developers here have hands-on experience with Shopify markets, multi-currency, and payment localization for LATAM buyers.

Git / GitHub ActionsHow we vet Shopify developers
Every candidate completes all seven stages before you see their profile. You can also run your own technical round after our screening.
* For common roles like full-stack. Other roles typically take 7 to 10 days.
CV check
Stage 1We review experience, stack, seniority, and career history against the role before anyone is invited to interview. Most applicants stop here.
Behavioral interview
Stage 2A structured interview assessing communication style, conflict resolution, ownership mindset, and English proficiency in a professional context.
Technical interview 1
Role-specificA 90-minute live session covering Liquid templating with real store scenarios (custom product metafields, conditional rendering, AJAX cart updates), Shopify Admin API queries via GraphQL, and Shopify app development patterns using Remix or Node.js with App Bridge. Candidates walk through a checkout customization challenge on Shopify Plus and explain how they'd approach a headless Hydrogen build vs a standard theme project. We also cover performance optimization: reducing theme JavaScript weight, lazy-loading sections, and using Shopify CDN correctly.
Technical interview 2
Stage 4A second, deeper round on system design, architecture tradeoffs, and code review, matched to the seniority you are hiring for.
Take-home assessment
Stage 5A practical assignment that mirrors real work. We review code quality, testing, documentation, and how the candidate explains their decisions.
Reference check
Stage 6We speak with at least two professional references who worked with the candidate, not personal contacts.
Background check
Stage 7Verification of work history, education, and identity with written consent, aligned with applicable privacy rules including LGPD where relevant.
After our screening, you can optionally run your own technical round before making an offer.

What to expect
What sets our Shopify developers apart
Our Shopify developers treat a store as a product, not a template swap. They think about conversion, page speed, and maintainability from the start. They also use AI tools to move faster on the parts of Shopify work that don't require judgment.
Copilot and Cursor for Liquid snippet generation and repetitive schema configurations. They spend more time on store logic and less on boilerplate.
AI-assisted copywriting for product descriptions and collection page headers during development. Useful for demos and client presentations before final copy arrives.
Automated PageSpeed and Core Web Vitals checks in CI. They catch theme regressions before they affect conversion.
They communicate store launch timelines clearly, flag third-party app conflicts early, and document custom code so your team isn't lost after handoff.
They know when a custom app is the right answer and when an existing app will do. They won't over-engineer to show off.
