Hire Remote BigCommerce Developers

Hire Senior BigCommerce Developers Who’ve Built Enterprise Commerce on BigCommerce

BigCommerce’s open SaaS architecture gives enterprise retailers more flexibility than most platforms — and that flexibility comes with engineering complexity. Stencil theme development, the BigCommerce API ecosystem, headless commerce with Next.js, and B2B Edition customization require engineers who understand the platform’s architecture and the performance engineering behind high-revenue stores.

We match you with senior BigCommerce developers who’ve built and optimized stores for enterprise retailers, B2B distributors, and high-growth DTC brands. Engineers who know the Stencil framework, BigCommerce’s GraphQL Storefront API, webhooks, and the headless commerce patterns that make BigCommerce attractive for complex enterprise deployments.

Start in days, not months. Pay 50% less than equivalent US-based BigCommerce talent.

Headless BigCommerce Commerce

Next.js and Gatsby storefronts powered by BigCommerce’s GraphQL Storefront API. Catalyst (BigCommerce’s reference headless storefront) implementations and customizations. Decoupled frontend architecture for enterprise retailers needing design freedom beyond theme constraints.

Client Success Story: Outdoor Retailer — Multi-Brand Headless Commerce on BigCommerce

A mid-market outdoor goods company managing four distinct brands (hunting, fishing, camping, and apparel) needed a unified commerce backend without sacrificing brand-specific frontend experiences. Our BigCommerce developers built a multi-storefront BigCommerce architecture with a shared catalog and separate Next.js Catalyst storefronts for each brand — each with distinct design systems, navigation, and product merchandising while sharing inventory, order management, and customer data. Platform management overhead dropped 60% compared to managing four separate systems. Each brand storefront scored above 90 on Lighthouse mobile performance.

Client Success Story: Industrial B2B Distributor — Custom Quote-to-Order Workflow

A specialty industrial parts distributor needed a digital ordering system for their 1,800 trade customers — with complex pricing rules, request-for-quote workflows for custom orders, and purchase order management. Our developers built on BigCommerce B2B Edition with custom customer group pricing (12 tiers), a quote request system integrated with their ERP for real-time pricing, PDF purchase order upload and matching, and net-30 credit term enforcement with real-time credit limit checking. Digital order volume grew from 15% to 58% of total revenue within 12 months. Sales rep time spent on routine order taking dropped 70%.

Engagement Models

• Individual BigCommerce Developer — One senior developer for Stencil customization, API integration, or headless frontend development.
• BigCommerce Pods (2–3 developers) — BigCommerce developer paired with a frontend specialist and DevOps. Common for full storefront builds or headless migrations.
• E-Commerce Teams (3–8+ engineers) — Complete squads for enterprise BigCommerce stores with ongoing development, integration, and optimization needs.
• Contract-to-Hire — Evaluate a developer’s output on your specific requirements before committing long-term.

How To Vet BigCommerce Developers

Our vetting identifies developers who understand BigCommerce’s architecture — not just the admin interface.

1. Technical screening — Stencil framework (Handlebars templating, SCSS, BigCommerce CLI), GraphQL Storefront API, REST API, Webhooks, and headless commerce fundamentals. Over 90% of applicants do not pass this stage.
2. Portfolio review — Live BigCommerce stores they’ve built. We check Lighthouse scores, mobile UX quality, and custom implementation complexity.
3. Live coding challenge — Build a custom BigCommerce widget template or implement a Storefront API query in a headless context. Evaluated on BigCommerce best practices and code quality.
4. Communication screening — BigCommerce developers work with merchants, marketers, and business stakeholders who need technical trade-offs explained in business terms.

What to Look for When Hiring BigCommerce Developers

Strong BigCommerce developers understand both the platform’s capabilities and its API ecosystem.

What strong candidates demonstrate:

• They’ve built custom Stencil themes using BigCommerce CLI — not just edited existing themes in the control panel
• They understand BigCommerce’s GraphQL Storefront API and have used it for headless implementations
• They’ve integrated BigCommerce with ERP, PIM, or WMS systems via the REST API and Webhooks
• They understand BigCommerce’s pricing architecture: customer groups, price lists, channel-specific pricing

Red flags to watch for:

• Has only made changes through the BigCommerce control panel — no CLI or API experience
• No understanding of Stencil’s Handlebars templating and SCSS architecture
• Can’t discuss headless commerce trade-offs or BigCommerce’s approach to it
• No experience with BigCommerce’s webhook system or real-time integrations

Interview questions that reveal real depth:

• “Walk me through how you’d implement a custom product configurator on BigCommerce that affects pricing based on user selections.”
• “How would you architect a headless BigCommerce implementation for an enterprise retailer? What does the tech stack look like?”
• “Describe how you’d build a real-time inventory sync between BigCommerce and an ERP system. What APIs and data flows are involved?”
