Web Designer & Developer – AI-Driven Full Time

Most job ads for a web designer and developer read like they were written by someone who has never opened a code editor. This one is different — and that is exactly why it deserves a closer look. Tisun Beauty, a real beauty supply retailer in Charlotte, North Carolina, is hiring one person to own its entire online presence: design, front-end development, and AI-assisted workflows, all rolled into a single full-time role.

If you design websites, write HTML and CSS in your sleep, and have been experimenting with AI tools to work faster, this posting is worth your time. Below is everything the employer actually asks for — verified against the live listing — plus practical guidance on how to put together an application that stands out, and the mistakes that get applications thrown out.

Who Is Tisun Beauty?

Before you apply anywhere, you should know who you would be working for. Tisun Beauty is an established beauty retail business based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The company carries roughly 10,000 SKUs across multiple beauty brands through its physical stores, and it is now building out a Shopify-based online store connected to its Lightspeed point-of-sale system. That detail matters: this is not a startup with a vague idea — it is a retailer with real inventory, real customers, and a real need for a web designer and developer who can run its digital storefront.

The company has been around since the late 1980s and employs somewhere in the range of a few dozen people. Public review aggregators show mixed employee ratings, which is normal for retail — what matters for you is the work itself: you would be the person responsible for how thousands of products appear online.

What You Would Actually Do Day to Day

The posting asks one person to take ownership of the whole website. In plain language, here is what that breaks down into:

Design and build the pages that sell

You would design and develop responsive pages across the entire site — homepage, category pages, product pages, blog posts, and landing pages. Every page has to look like it belongs to the same brand and has to guide a visitor toward buying. If you have ever watched analytics show visitors landing on a product page and leaving within seconds, you already understand why this matters more than making things “pretty.”

Run the store on Shopify

Here is a fact worth noting instead of guessing: the company’s own hiring materials confirm they are building on Shopify, integrated with Lightspeed POS. So you would be working with Shopify themes, templates, and custom sections — including Liquid customization when the default theme cannot do what the business needs. The old version of this article speculated about which platform the store “might” run on. There is no need to speculate: Shopify is confirmed.

Use AI tools the way a professional does

The “AI-driven” part of the title does not mean the AI does your job. The employer is explicit: AI speeds up content creation, testing, and personalization. In practice that means using AI copy assistants for first drafts of product descriptions, image generators for quick visual variations, and A/B testing tools to see which version of a page actually converts. The judgment call — what fits the brand, what is accurate, what goes live — stays with you. If your current workflow already includes AI for drafts and variations that you then review and fix, you are exactly who they describe. That practical, supervised use of AI is what this web designer and developer role is built around.

Own the customer journey and the numbers

You would be responsible for the full shopping path on both desktop and mobile: navigation, search, product discovery, and checkout. You would also track traffic, conversion rate, bounce rate, and cart abandonment, then propose design fixes based on what the data shows. A product page with heavy traffic and no sales is a design problem, and as the web designer and developer, you would be the person expected to connect those numbers to design changes.

Handle SEO basics and site health

The role includes on-page SEO fundamentals — titles, headings, meta descriptions, internal links, image alt text, and a sensible blog structure. It also includes the unglamorous maintenance work: broken links, layout bugs, cross-browser checks, and keeping the site secure. Nobody lists “fixing broken links” on a portfolio, but employers notice when a candidate talks about it seriously.

Work with marketing on launches

When the marketing team plans a product launch or a sale, you build what the campaign needs: landing pages, promotional banners, email signup flows, and pop-ups. Beauty retail runs on launches and seasonal promotions, so expect deadline-driven cycles rather than a calm, steady backlog.

What Tisun Beauty Requires From Its Web Designer and Developer

The posting lists clear requirements. Here they are, translated into what they mean for your application:

• 3+ years of hands-on web design and front-end development, ideally for e-commerce or consumer brands. Personal projects alone will not clear this bar — show client or employer work.
• A portfolio with e-commerce pages — product pages, category pages, and landing pages. Beauty, fashion, or lifestyle work is preferred, but any strong e-commerce portfolio counts.
• HTML, CSS, and working JavaScript, plus real experience customizing themes on Shopify (Liquid) or WooCommerce/WordPress.
• Figma or Adobe XD for design, and basic image editing in Photoshop, Illustrator, or Canva.
• Real AI-tool experience — not “I tried ChatGPT once,” but actual workflow use: draft copy, image variations, resized assets, or experiments.
• Responsive design and cross-browser testing as second nature, not as an afterthought.
• End-to-end ownership — taking a brief through wireframe, build, launch, and iteration without being micromanaged.

Nice-to-haves that strengthen an application: beauty or cosmetics industry experience, email marketing platform familiarity (signup forms, pop-ups, automations), and comfort reading Google Analytics or Shopify analytics.

The Tech Stack — Confirmed, Not Guessed

One of the problems with the previous version of this article was speculation about the store’s platform. Here are the verified facts: the employer confirms a Shopify-based store integrated with Lightspeed POS. Public tech profiles of the company also list Shopify among its tools. That means Liquid templating, Shopify theme architecture, and app integrations are the skills that map directly to this role. WooCommerce/WordPress experience is listed as an acceptable alternative, but Shopify is clearly the primary platform.

If you are a WordPress-only developer, you can still apply — but be honest with yourself about the ramp-up. Spend a week building a demo Shopify theme section in Liquid before the interview, and say so in your cover note. Employers remember candidates who close their own skill gaps.

Salary: What Is Actually Known

Tisun Beauty has not published a salary for this role — not on GrabJobs, not on Teal, not on its own site. Any article that quotes you an exact figure as fact is inventing it.

What exists: job aggregators publish estimates. Lensa, for example, shows an estimated range of roughly $43,000–$52,000 per year for this posting. Treat that for what it is — an aggregator’s statistical estimate, not an offer from the employer. The real number depends on your experience, your portfolio, and the negotiation. Do not anchor your expectations — or your salary ask — to an unverified estimate. If you reach the interview stage, ask directly: it is a normal, professional question.

How to Apply — Step by Step

Apply through the real, live postings — not through random reposts. As of this writing, the role is listed on:

1. GrabJobs — the full posting for “Web Designer & Web Developer (Beauty ECommerce, AIDriven)” at Tisun Beauty, Charlotte NC: view the GrabJobs listing. Create an account, upload your resume, and submit through their apply flow.
2. Teal — the same role mirrored with an apply tracker: view the Teal listing. Teal also offers a resume-match check against the posting, which is genuinely useful before you submit.

Avoid the old Indeed link that circulated with this role — the version with tracking parameters appended was a copy-paste artifact, not an official apply route. Always apply through the employer’s actual postings.

What to prepare before you apply

• Portfolio first: Lead with 3–5 e-commerce pages — a product page, a category page, and a landing page at minimum. For each, add one line about what it achieved (faster load, better conversion, cleaner mobile layout) rather than just screenshots.
• Resume tailored to the posting: Mirror their language honestly — Shopify/Liquid, responsive builds, AI-assisted workflow, analytics. Only list tools you have actually used.
• A short cover note: Two or three sentences on why a beauty e-commerce store specifically. Mention the Shopify + Lightspeed context — it shows you researched the company instead of mass-applying.
• Check the posting is still live before you invest hours. Listings move fast; one aggregator copy of this role already shows as expired while others remain active.

Common Mistakes That Get Applications Rejected

• A portfolio of only mockups. This employer wants pages that sold things. Concept redesigns of famous brands do not prove you can handle a 10,000-SKU catalog.
• Claiming AI expertise without evidence. “AI-driven” in the title attracts buzzword resumes. Show one concrete example: a product description workflow, an image-variation process, a test you ran.
• Ignoring mobile. Beauty shoppers buy on phones. If your portfolio pieces do not demonstrate mobile-first thinking, you are missing the employer’s core concern.
• Mass-applying without research. Mentioning nothing about Tisun Beauty specifically tells the hiring manager you sent the same application to fifty companies.
• No numbers anywhere. “Redesigned product pages” is weak. “Redesigned product pages; mobile bounce rate dropped after the new layout” is strong — even approximate, honestly-labeled results beat adjectives.

Protect Yourself: Job Scam Warning

Any popular posting attracts scammers. Legitimate employers will never ask you to pay a fee to apply, never interview you only over text chat, and never send you a check to “buy equipment.” Tisun Beauty’s real postings live on established job platforms — if someone contacts you about this role from a free email address and asks for money or bank details, walk away. When in doubt, contact the company through its official website, tisunbeauty.com, and ask whether the role is genuine.

Is This Web Designer and Developer Role Right for You?

This is a strong fit if you genuinely enjoy both sides of the work — the visual design decisions and the front-end code that makes them real — and you like the pressure of e-commerce, where every design choice shows up in revenue numbers. It is also a good entry point into AI-assisted professional workflows, which are becoming standard across the industry.

It is a poor fit if you only want to do visual design without touching code, or if you want a slow-moving backlog. A retailer doing launches and seasonal sales will keep you on deadlines.

Final Word

Strip away the buzzwords and this is a straightforward, honest opportunity: a real retailer with real products needs one capable web designer and developer to run its online store — design it, build it, speed it up with AI where that helps, and keep it selling. The employer has spelled out exactly what they want: three years of e-commerce front-end work, a portfolio that proves it, Shopify skills, and genuine AI-tool experience.

If that describes you, apply through the live postings linked above, lead with your strongest e-commerce pages, and show — don’t just claim — how you work. That is what gets interviews.
