As part of our product team, our Developers work collaboratively with our development team to design and build functionality for our apps that is usable, extensible, and performant.
Our apps are embedded in the Shopify admin, and display in our customers’ Shopify stores. Our developers are experienced with React, Node, and Elixir (no prior Elixir experience is necessary) and contribute across the full stack.
At Orbit, we trust our developers to find the right way to build solutions that meet goals. Following the Shape Up methodology, we give our teams projects, and give them the space and autonomy to design a solution: defining their own tasks, building the solution incrementally and collaboratively, adapting an approach based on the learnings made along the way.
