What You’ll Bring —

• Some experience working with ecommerce platforms (e.g. Shopify or
  
  

similar), either in a junior dev, intern or freelance capacity.

• A foundational understanding of front-end development (HTML, CSS,
  
  

JavaScript) and an interest in UI/UX best practices.

• A proactive, problem-solving mindset with strong attention to detail
  
  

and a love for learning.

• Ability to work collaboratively across multiple teams and manage
  
  

multiple requests at once.

experiences.
