Build where merchants already sell.
Create fast storefronts, useful apps, and commerce automations that respect merchant economics and platform constraints.
- In planning
- No launch date is promised
- Remote-first
- Proposed delivery format
- Practical proof
- Capstone-led curriculum design
- Interest only
- Not an internship application
Why this belongs on the roadmap.
Commerce engineering is valuable when technical choices improve the merchant's operation, not only the storefront. The planned track would connect theme and app work to conversion, reliability, and maintainable ownership.
Research sources support the direction, not a launch date or outcome. This page does not promise a job, salary, client, income, or final curriculum.
The work this curriculum would cover.
Each planned module is designed to produce evidence, moving from foundations to work a real operator can inspect.
- 01Map merchant goals, platform constraints, and store economics
- 02Build accessible theme sections with Liquid and Dawn
- 03Use metafields and the Admin GraphQL API
- 04Create an app with a clear permissions model
- 05Implement Shopify Functions and checkout extensions where eligible
- 06Measure performance and prepare a merchant-ready handoff
The proof this track would demand.
Production-grade work for a real merchant: a theme improvement, app, function, or technical audit, demonstrated on a development store and delivered with performance evidence and owner documentation.
The working stack.
Tools can change before launch. The proposed workflow and quality bar are the durable part.
- Shopify CLI
- Liquid
- Dawn
- Admin GraphQL API
- Remix
- Polaris
- Shopify Functions
- Shopify Flow
