Shopify Engineer — Conversion Optimization & AI Automation (Remote Contract)

Shopify Engineer — Conversion Optimization & AI Automation (Remote Contract)

Location: New York City (On-site preferred)
Compensation: $25/hr

About the role

Atoms is looking for a Shopify Engineer who thrives on solving problems, building fast, and experimenting with automation.
You’ll work with our Growth and Product teams to improve site conversion, streamline workflows, and bring AI-driven tools to life — everything from smart scripts to fully automated systems.

This is a role for someone who loves to test, iterate, and make things simpler through creative technical thinking.

What You'll Do

  • Optimize Shopify pages and flows to improve conversion, speed, and customer experience.

  • Build and test A/B experiments for landing pages, cart, and checkout.

  • Design automation flows using tools like n8n, Replit, OpenAI API, and Cloud services (e.g. Cloudflare, AWS, or Google Cloud).

  • Create scripts and integrations that connect marketing, customer, and product data.

  • Collaborate with the Growth Lead and UX Designer to implement quick, measurable experiments.

  • Document systems and maintain a clear structure for scaling future automation.

What we're looking for

  • Hands-on experience with Shopify, React/Remix, Headless ecommerce, Shopify Hydrogen, JavaScript, and modern web frameworks.

  • Strong understanding of conversion rate optimization and user behavior.

  • Proven ability to use n8n, Replit, OpenAI, or Cloud platforms to build real automation workflows.

  • A builder mindset — someone who prototypes, tests, and ships quickly.

  • Comfortable working async but aligned with 10AM–3PM New York time for team syncs.

  • Excited about using AI and automation to make human work faster, smarter, and simpler.

Who should not apply

  • Anyone who avoids learning new tools or experimenting with emerging tech.

  • People who move slow or need excessive structure before building.

  • Engineers who don’t collaborate directly with design, growth, and marketing teams.

  • Anyone who can’t align with NY working hours (10AM–3PM ET).

  • Those who prefer routine over curiosity.
