KOCHI KOCHU - Premium Fashion & Lifestyle
Shopify Developer
Location: Kochi, Kerala | Type: Full-Time | Experience: 4–7 years
About Kochi Kochu : Kochi Kochu is a premium fashion and lifestyle brand focused on creating distinctive products and exceptional customer experiences. As we scale our ecommerce operations, we are seeking an experienced Shopify professional who can lead the planning, design, implementation, optimization, and long-term evolution of our Shopify ecosystem.
This is not a traditional Shopify developer role. We are looking for an individual who understands the intersection of fashion, design, customer experience, ecommerce operations, analytics, integrations, conversion optimization, and Shopify architecture.
The successful candidate should be capable of designing and implementing a complete ecommerce ecosystem rather than simply building a website.

We're hiring a Shopify Developer who combines strong technical implementation skills with genuine design sensibility. You'll own the end-to-end build of our Shopify store, from architecture and theme development to integrations, analytics, and launch.
This is a hands-on role. You will be the primary person building, configuring, and optimising the store. You won't just install apps and fill in settings, you'll make considered decisions about how the store is structured, how customers move through it, and how it represents the brand.
