Checkout Champ Jr. Developer

ABOUT AJ MEDIA

AJ Media is a performance-driven ecommerce growth agency scaling consumer brands toward $100M. Our engineering team builds the checkout systems, upsell flows, and funnel logic that convert traffic into revenue. We don't build for aesthetics — we build for conversion rate, average order value, and repeatability. Every line of code has a business outcome attached to it.

THE ROLE

This is a junior role — but it is NOT a passive one. You will work directly alongside our Senior Checkout Champ Developer, get hands-on with real funnel builds from day one, and be expected to grow into independent ownership within 6–12 months. If you're looking for a role where you watch and wait — this isn't it.

Our senior developer owns the full Checkout Champ and Shopify funnel stack. You will support and learn from them — implementing upsells, debugging checkout flows, assisting with Shopify customizations, and gradually taking on builds of your own. You bring foundational Checkout Champ and Shopify knowledge. We'll give you the environment to level up fast.

HOW THIS ROLE DIFFERS FROM THE SENIOR POSITION

The Senior Developer owns architecture and leads all complex builds. The Junior Developer executes components of those builds, owns smaller scoped tasks independently, troubleshoots under guidance, and builds toward full ownership. If you're applying to grow into the senior role — this is the path.

What the Senior Developer owns:

• End-to-end Checkout Champ funnel architecture and strategy
• Custom subscription flows and complex rebill logic
• Full API integrations between platforms from spec to deployment
• Payment gateway configuration and advanced troubleshooting
• Final QA sign-off and production deploys

What you'll own and grow into:

• Implementing upsell and downsell sequences built to the senior developer's spec
• Shopify theme customizations and Liquid template edits
• Tracking and pixel setup support (UTM structures, conversion events)
• Checkout flow testing, bug documentation, and first-level troubleshooting
• Building and maintaining internal documentation for funnel components
• Taking on end-to-end ownership of smaller builds as your skill set develops

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Checkout Champ:

• Assist in building and configuring Checkout Champ funnels under senior developer direction
• Implement upsell and downsell offers, order bumps, and post-purchase sequences
• Support payment gateway configuration and help troubleshoot checkout flow errors
• Test checkout flows across devices, browsers, and payment methods — document all findings
• Assist with subscription and rebill logic setup as you build familiarity with the platform

Shopify:

• Customize Shopify themes using Liquid, HTML, and CSS
• Implement front-end changes based on design briefs — product pages, landing pages, and checkout
• Debug display or functional issues across storefronts for Gekko Gifts, Purvos, and Besyner
• Support the senior developer on API integration work and third-party app configuration

Tracking & Performance Support:

• Assist with pixel and tracking setup — Meta, Google, and native platform events
• Help identify and document tracking discrepancies — work with the team to resolve
• Understand the relationship between checkout flow changes and conversion metrics

Learning & Documentation:

• Document builds, component logic, and processes as you execute them
• Proactively review Checkout Champ and Shopify release notes and flag relevant changes
• Ask good questions — and translate what you learn into reusable references for the team
