Get Shopify Developers
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.
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.
LATAM timezone overlap with US teams runs 4-8 hours per day. Same-day feedback cycles on design implementations and store launches are realistic.
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.
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.
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.
Every candidate completes all five stages before you see their profile. You can also run your own technical round after our screening.
A timed test measuring analytical thinking, pattern recognition, and problem-solving clarity, independent of specific programming language knowledge.
A structured interview assessing communication style, conflict resolution, ownership mindset, and English proficiency in a professional context.
A 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.
Verification of work history, education, and identity with written consent, aligned with applicable privacy rules including LGPD where relevant.
We speak with at least two professional references who worked with the candidate in an engineering context, not personal contacts.
After our screening, you can optionally run your own technical round before making an offer.

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.
