Job Description

Miva is currently looking for a full-stack Web Developer with solid solution engineering skills and deep ecommerce experience to join Miva’s Professional Services team. This role focuses on building high-performing ecommerce experiences on the Miva platform using core web technologies—no heavy frameworks, just solid engineering fundamentals enhanced by modern AI tooling.

This is a client-facing delivery role, not an internal product or R&D position. The chosen Web Developer will collaborate closely with Product Managers, UX Designers, and other delivery team members to translate business requirements and user needs into high-performing solutions that adhere to defined scope and timelines and maximize platform capabilities. As a key technical liaison, you will communicate effectively with clients in both written and verbal forms and translating complex technical concepts into clear, actionable guidance for non-technical stakeholders.

AI-Driven Development | We are an AI-first web development team. You’ll be expected to:

  • Use AI tools for rapid prototyping, first-pass code generation, and workflow automation
  • Accelerate integrations, data transformations, and repetitive development tasks with AI assistance
  • Leverage AI for documentation, code reviews, testing, and performance optimization
  • Maintain high code quality while using AI as a force multiplier—not a crutch
Things you will do:
  • Develop and maintain ecommerce storefronts using HTML5, CSS3, and modern vanilla JavaScript (ES6+) within Miva’s templating environment
  • Write efficient server-side logic using Miva Template Language (MVT) to power dynamic content
  • Build and support integrations with external systems (REST/SOAP APIs, ERPs, CRMs, payment, shipping, analytics, and marketing tools)
  • Act as the technical bridge between client storefronts and their broader business ecosystem
  • Troubleshoot and resolve frontend, backend, and configuration issues across platforms
  • Optimize performance, SEO, accessibility, and conversion (Core Web Vitals, GA4, GTM, etc.)
  • Implement merchandising strategies, personalization, promotions, and optimized purchase flows
  • Ensure cross-browser/device compatibility with a mobile-first approach
  • Collaborate with Product Managers, UX Designers, and delivery teams to execute within scope and timelines
  • Communicate clearly with clients, translating technical concepts into actionable insights
Things you will bring:
  • 3+ years of professional web development experience (1+ year in ecommerce)
  • Strong proficiency in HTML5, CSS3, and vanilla JavaScript (ES6+)
  • Advanced mastery of AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) integrated into daily development workflows to accelerate output without sacrificing underlying code quality or engineering fundamentals
  • Ability to write CSS that works across browsers without relying on CSS-in-JS libraries
  • Experience building API integrations (REST and/or SOAP)
  • Working knowledge of PHP and SQL-based databases (MySQL/PostgreSQL)
  • Strong understanding of DOM manipulation without relying on libraries
  • Experience with Git-based workflows, including experience with AI-enhanced pull request generation, merge conflict resolution, and automated commit messaging
  • Solid grasp of performance optimization, SEO, and accessibility (WCAG)
  • Ability to manage multiple projects in a client-facing delivery environment
  • Strong communication skills in a remote, collaborative setting

Bonus points if you have:

  • Experience with platforms like Miva, Shopify, BigCommerce, or Magento
  • Familiarity with ERPs/CRMs (NetSuite, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, etc.)
  • Experience with build tools (Webpack or similar) and modern PHP frameworks (Laravel) with a focus on MVC design patterns, RESTful API development, and scalable backend architecture
  • Experience using containerization or local development tooling such as Docker
  • Agency or Professional Services experience
  • Experience building AI automation scripts, leveraging LLM APIs directly, or integrating AI agents into CI/CD deployment pipelines and testing workflows

Our awesome perks! 

  • Remote friendly company
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Maternity/Paternity leave
  • Medical/Dental/Vision/FSA/Life
  • 401k with company match
  • Flexible work schedule
  • Inspiring & collaborative peers
  • Work within a company that has been recognized multiple times as a top employer, most notably being named one of the “Best Places to Work in San Diego” by the San Diego Business Journal!

The salary range for this position is $90k - $115k annually. This information is current as of the initial date of this job posting and may be modified in the future. The actual pay determined for an individual will vary based on job-related factors such as relevant experience and/or education, particular skills, and location.
