About UWP
Underwaterpistol is an independent Shopify Plus agency built on a simple belief: real impact comes from tight-knit, senior teams who own outcomes end-to-end.
We’ve never tried to become the biggest agency in the room. Instead, we’ve focused on building a team of experienced people who think independently, challenge assumptions, and move quickly when it matters.
Our clients come to us when they want more than a website build. They want a partner who will challenge the brief, bring better ideas, and help them make confident decisions about how their eCommerce should evolve.
Inside the agency, that means we trust people to take ownership of their roles and contribute to the momentum of the business.
Role Overview
You’ll be responsible for building and delivering high-quality ecommerce experiences across Shopify projects.
You’ll work closely with designers, PMs and other developers to bring ideas to life, while owning your own output and contributing to overall delivery quality.
This is a hands-on role where you’re expected to:
• Take ownership of tasks
• Manage your time effectively
• Deliver clean, maintainable code
• Flag risks early and communicate clearly
Key Responsibilities
• Build out design comps accurately and efficiently
• Write structured, well-organised, reusable code
• Inspect, debug and troubleshoot bugs and QA issues
• Ensure technical feasibility of UI/UX designs
• Collaborate with designers, PMs and developers
• Deliver Shopify builds, enhancements and integrations
• Contribute to internal standards and best practices
• Communicate progress clearly, flagging blockers early
