Rails Dev for Embedded Shopify App
Description: This is the first of two scoped jobs to complete a Rails-based embedded Shopify app. You'll be responsible for finalizing UX polish and onboarding logic. This includes: - Fixing flash messaging inside Polaris layouts - Wiring up “Don’t show again” CTAs on certain resources (including backend logic) - Adding a minimal UI to activate/deactivate other resources You’ll also complete the onboarding flow: - Collecting the merchant's public email and audit email recipients - Enforcing “one audit at a time” logic and action cable powered progression bar The project uses Polaris ViewComponents, standard RESTful controllers, and embedded app conventions via `shopify_app`. Patterns and services are in place — you’re expected to extend, not rewrite. If things go smoothly, a second scoped job will follow to implement new async scan types and deeper audit intelligence. Tech stack: - Rails 8 (RESTful only, service layer in place) - Polaris ViewComponents (not Polaris HTML) - Stimulus for JS - Tailwind4 via Vite - Postgres - SolidQueue for background jobs - shopify_app for authentication You: - Respect structure and don’t reach for abstractions you don’t need - Can extend existing features without rewriting them - Understand how embedded Shopify apps behave - Can work without design files when the UX is clear This is a short-term, focused engagement. - Estimated effort: ~16 to ~24 hours - Fixed budget: $1,600 This is a well-scoped, self-contained project. Once completed, there’s potential for follow-up work (ongoing scan types, deeper features, more UX polish), depending on how smoothly this collaboration goes. You’ll work directly with a developer-founder who ships fast. Start: immediately. Apply tot his job
