The platform must be *API/integration-ready and scalable for future multi-country expansion*, additional suppliers, marketplaces, ERP/accounting/inventory systems and automation.
The candidate should understand when functionality should be *custom-coded versus handled through Shopify apps, APIs, ERP or middleware*. We do not want a store overloaded with apps that becomes slow, difficult to maintain or expensive to operate.
### Important
We are *NOT looking for someone whose experience is mainly buying Shopify themes, installing apps and changing banners/colors. *
We need a *senior technical resource combining strong Shopify development, UI/UX understanding, custom coding, API/ERP integration experience, automation and e-commerce architecture*.
This is intended to be a *long-term technical ownership role*. After development and launch, the selected person will continue managing the platform, integrations, performance, troubleshooting, enhancements and future development.
