About the Position
BigCommerce Developer Recruitment
We are looking for experienced BigCommerce developers who can build and customize real production stores. If you have experience with Stencil themes, API integrations, and headless builds, we want to hear from you. Our hires are individual contributors under a flat-fee subscription model, backed by a 90-day replacement guarantee.
What BigCommerce Is Used For
BigCommerce is a hosted, enterprise-grade e-commerce platform. Developers build and customize storefront themes on its Stencil framework, build custom apps and integrations through its REST/GraphQL APIs, or use it as a headless commerce backend paired with a custom frontend.
Common Use Cases
- Custom storefront themes built on BigCommerce's Stencil framework
- Custom apps and integrations via the BigCommerce API - inventory, ERP, and CRM sync
- Headless commerce builds using BigCommerce as the backend with a custom frontend
Why Hiring BigCommerce Developers Is Harder Than It Looks
Smaller, more specialized pool than general e-commerce dev
BigCommerce-specific expertise is narrower than general web development or even Shopify. Sourcing needs targeted outreach, not a generic "e-commerce developer" post.
Platform-specific quirks aren't always well documented
Real BigCommerce production experience - knowing where the platform's limits actually are - matters more here than in more heavily-documented ecosystems.
Headless and themed builds are different skill sets
A developer who's only built Stencil themes may not have the API/headless integration experience a modern build increasingly needs, and vice versa.
What We Look For - and How We Assess It
We don't keyword-match resumes for "BigCommerce." Every candidate goes through a structured technical screen before they reach your desk.
- Real Stencil theme development experience, not just general Handlebars/JavaScript familiarity
- BigCommerce API fluency - both REST and GraphQL - for integrations and headless builds
- E-commerce domain judgment: checkout flow, inventory sync, and performance under real traffic, not just a demo store
- Migration or integration experience with other platforms (Shopify, Magento) where relevant to the project
- For headless builds: modern frontend framework experience (React, Vue, Next.js) paired with BigCommerce's APIs

- Stencil
