Part Time | Shopify Developer (Technical SEO)
About the role
We're looking for a Shopify Developer with technical SEO experience to help our client, a healthcare company, get found on Google and in AI search.
This role is ideal for someone who has done hands-on technical SEO work, ideally at a marketing or SEO agency, and who is comfortable working in a live store's code without close supervision.
The client has an in-house web designer and an SEO plan from a recent site audit. You'll handle the technical side: building that plan into the Shopify site and keeping it healthy.
These are the types of work you may be assigned:
- Technical SEO and AI search
- Add and correct schema markup on each page, directly in the Shopify theme
- Make sure page titles, meta descriptions, and other metadata are complete and correct
- Build the client's SEO and AI search recommendations into the site
- Site audits
- Run weekly technical SEO audits in SEMrush
- Find and fix broken and outdated links, including broken backlinks
- Confirm with the client where pages with broken links should point going forward
- Shopify maintenance
- Keep apps updated and working
- Review installed apps and remove or replace any that slow down the site
- Edit the Shopify theme and add new pages
- Check that site features such as inventory work correctly and connect to the client's marketing tools
- Working with the client team
- Work with the client's web designer to build their designs into the existing Shopify theme
