The business operates three Shopify stores covering wholesale, direct-to-consumer and luxury/heavy-trade customers, with a combined catalogue of approximately 4,000 SKUs. ## The Role We are looking for a Part-Time Shopify Developer to join the team and take ownership of the technical and development side of the Shopify stores. You will work alongside a full-time Shopify Manager who will handle the day-to-day site operations, catalogue management and content updates. Your focus will be on development, troubleshooting, integrations and ongoing technical improvements. This is not a from-scratch app development role. The business already has a custom product recommendation engine and several integrations in place. You will primarily be working within the existing environment — modifying, extending, troubleshooting and maintaining what is already there, as well as handling general Shopify theme and Liquid development. ## Key Responsibilities - Modify, extend and troubleshoot existing Shopify apps and integrations, including the custom product recommendation engine. - Develop and maintain Shopify themes using Liquid and Online Store 2.0. - Work across three Shopify stores, implementing new functionality and technical improvements as required. - Support the technical setup of the business's four-tier B2B pricing and catalogue structure, including price lists, customer-specific pricing and gated content. - Troubleshoot technical issues such as theme conflicts, app conflicts, cart and checkout issues. - Assist with Klaviyo integrations and technical setup when required. - Work closely with the full-time Shopify Manager and Sales/Marketing teams to handle development requests and ongoing technical improvements. - Take over development tasks currently managed by an external agency. Must-Have Skills & Experience - Strong hands-on experience with Shopify Plus development. - Excellent knowledge of Liquid, Shopify theme architecture and Online Store 2.0. - Experience working within and modifying an existing codebase, including debugging and extending apps or integrations built by other developers. - Experience with Shopify B2B, including price lists, customer/company-specific pricing and login-gated catalogues or content. - Experience working with large Shopify product catalogues. - Familiarity with Matrixify or similar bulk import/export tools. - Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills. - Ability to work independently with minimal day-to-day supervision. Nice-to-Have Experience - Experience with Klaviyo and Shopify/ESP integrations. - Experience working alongside or taking over from an external Shopify development agency. - Experience with product recommendation engines, personalisation tools or similar Shopify technology. - Previous experience supporting multi-store Shopify environments. Contract & Logistics - Part-time contract role – approximately 20 hours per week. - Engaged through Assist World. - You will work alongside a full-time Shopify Manager responsible for day-to-day Shopify operations. - Must be available during PST business hours for communication and collaboration with the team. - Compensation will be confirmed based on the client's available monthly budget. Who We're Looking For We're looking for someone who can step into an existing Shopify environment and hit the ground running. You should be comfortable troubleshooting technical issues, working with existing code and integrations, and finding practical solutions without needing constant direction. If you're an experienced Shopify Plus developer who enjoys working independently and taking ownership of the technical side of an established e-commerce environment, we'd love to hear from you. ## About Assist World ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Assist World is a virtual assistant staffing and outsourcing company that matches businesses with vetted remote talent across administrative, sales, customer service, and industry-specific roles. - **Entity Type**: Private (Bootstrapped) - **Headquarters**: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States - **Founded**: 2022 - **Founders**: Cohen Chorabik (CEO & Co-Founder) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Staffing and Recruiting / Virtual Assistant Services - **Target customers**: B2B — small to medium-sized businesses, real estate firms, legal practices, healthcare providers, e-commerce brands, and growing companies seeking cost-effective, flexible remote support. - **Mission or purpose statement**: To help businesses build and manage high-performing remote teams without the cost of traditional hiring, saving clients up to 50–70% compared to local hiring. ## Products & Services - **Virtual Executive Assistant**: AI-powered administrative support including email and calendar management, scheduling, and research. - **Virtual Administrative Assistant**: General administrative support, data entry, and office management. - **Accounting Virtual Assistant**: Bookkeeping, payroll, tax support, and financial reporting (expertise in QBO, Ramp & Gust). - **Customer Support Representative**: Multi-channel customer service, helpdesk management, and client communication. - **Industry-Specific Assistants**: Specialized roles for Real Estate (lead generation, CRM, marketing), Legal (research, document review, contract management), Healthcare (medical administration), and E-commerce (product listings, SEO, customer service). - **Social Media & Marketing Manager**: Content creation, audience engagement, ad campaign support, and brand growth. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available - **Key Metric**: Total Funding — Not disclosed (appears bootstrapped) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: No major institutional investors identified; operates as a privately held, self-funded entity. - **Growth Signals**: - Headcount grew **247.1% year-over-year** to 39 employees (as of 2026). - LinkedIn followers grew **122.2% year-over-year** to ~38,196. - Active job postings increased **100% quarter-over-quarter** and **33.3% year-over-year**. - Workforce distributed across 9 countries (South Africa, Philippines, United Kingdom, United States, Kenya, Ecuador, Colombia, Canada, Iran). - Claims a network of **5,000+ pre-vetted professionals** and a client base across multiple industries. ## Competitive Advantages - **Cost efficiency**: Clients save 50–70% compared to local hiring, with flexible part-time or full-time engagements and no long-term lock-in contracts. - **Speed of hiring**: Discovery call to candidate match within 24–48 hours; faster than traditional agencies. - **Quality of talent**: Only the top 0.5% of applicants are accepted; rigorous vetting process with strong English fluency and timezone alignment. - **Full-service support**: Dedicated account manager, management dashboard, and 100% satisfaction guarantee (rematch or refund). - **Global talent pool**: Access to diverse, vetted professionals across time zones, enabling 24/7 coverage. ## Strategic Focus - **Scale and diversify**: Expanding industry-specific verticals (real estate, legal, healthcare, e-commerce) to capture more niche demand. - **Technology integration**: Leveraging AI-powered tools (e.g., for executive research and accounting) to enhance assistant productivity and client value. - **Talent pipeline**: Continuously recruiting top-tier virtual assistants globally, with an emphasis on English fluency, reliability, and U.S. timezone compatibility. - **Client retention**: Investing in account management and flexible staffing to reduce churn and build long-term partnerships. ## Why Work Here - **100% remote work**: All roles are fully remote, offering maximum flexibility for global talent. - **Performance-based compensation**: Pay structures reflect experience, skills, and impact, with biannual bonuses and monthly raffles. - **Growth opportunities**: Work with high-caliber clients across industries; receive feedback and mentorship to develop professionally. - **Supportive culture**: Emphasis on transparency, communication, and collaboration — "You’re never just a number." - **Flexible scheduling**: Part-time (54%) and full-time (45%) options available; ability to align with client time zones (especially U.S. hours). - **Ideal for**: Organized, proactive, detail-oriented individuals fluent in English, comfortable with Google Workspace, Zoom, Slack, and eager to deliver excellence. ## Sources 1.
