About Tharp Ventures

Tharp Ventures is a marketing operating partner for category-defining wellness and DTC brands — companies like Ra Optics, Ways2Well, and Daylight Computer. We help founders scale with clarity by balancing the art of brand with the science of performance: paid media, creative, email, and CRO — all under one cohesive system.

We're not a traditional agency. We act as the internal marketing arm for our clients, building deep partnerships that drive long-term growth.

The Mission

We're looking for a Full-Stack Ecommerce Developer to own the build, maintenance, and evolution of our clients' Shopify and WordPress sites.

Your role: turn designs into fast, clean, conversion-optimized storefronts — and do it faster than anyone thought possible by leveraging AI-native development workflows.

You'll work directly with our Account Strategists and Designers, translating Figma files into pixel-perfect, bug-free code that makes our clients' brands shine.

What You'll Own

Shopify Development

• Build and customize Shopify themes using Liquid, JavaScript, and CSS.
• Implement third-party app integrations and troubleshoot when they break.
• Optimize site speed, mobile experience, and conversion flows.
• Execute CRO experiments — landing pages, product page tweaks, checkout optimizations.

WordPress Development

• Build and maintain WordPress sites using modern block editor development and classic PHP where needed.
• Customize themes, build landing pages, and integrate plugins cleanly.
• Ensure sites are fast, secure, and easy for non-technical team members to update.

AI-Native Workflow

• Use Claude Code and similar AI tools daily to accelerate your development process.
• Proactively identify opportunities where AI can speed up builds, reduce bugs, or improve code quality.
• Stay current on the latest AI-assisted development techniques and bring new ideas to the team.

Quality & Communication

• Own QA on your own work — deliver code that's tested across browsers and devices before it reaches review.
• Communicate proactively about timelines, blockers, and tradeoffs.
• Record Loom walkthroughs to explain your work and flag questions before you start building.

Requirements

You're Right for This Role If...

• You have 3+ years of hands-on Shopify and WordPress development experience.
• You're fluent in JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Liquid (Shopify), and PHP (WordPress).
• You've worked with Figma and can translate designs to code without hand-holding.
• You're already using Claude Code, Cursor, or similar AI tools in your daily workflow — not just experimenting.
• You're obsessive about details. Bugs bother you. You test your own work thoroughly.
• You communicate clearly and proactively, especially async. You ask questions before you assume.
• You can estimate accurately — or you're honest about uncertainty and flag risks early.
• You're comfortable working with a team across time zones and don't need to be managed closely.

Tools You'll Live In

• Shopify (Liquid, Theme Kit / CLI, APIs)
• WordPress (Block Editor, PHP, ACF)
• GitHub
• Figma
• Claude Code / Cursor
• GitHub
• Slack
• Loom
• ClickUp
