Find projects, or deliver them. Project finders are paid commission on work that closes and need a network rather than a technical background. Delivery roles are senior, remote, and involve talking to the people you are building for.
You do not need to scope, price or sell anything technical. You need to recognise a business with a problem worth solving and make the introduction. Commission is uncapped and agreed in writing before you introduce anyone.
Project Hunter — Ecommerce
Commission, uncapped · Anywhere
Find merchants who need Shopify, WooCommerce or headless commerce work and introduce them. You do not need to scope or price anything — you need to know when a store has a problem worth solving.
A good fit if
You already talk to merchants, founders or store managers regularly
You can tell a real buying signal from a polite conversation
You would rather be paid on what closes than on what you pitched
Introduce businesses that need a website, an internal tool, an integration between systems that do not talk, or a SaaS product built. Agencies, consultancies and fractional CTOs make particularly good partners here.
A good fit if
You sit near decisions about software being built or replaced
You can describe a problem accurately without overselling a solution
You want a technical team behind you that will not embarrass you
Introduce businesses that need search, content, paid media or marketing automation. Includes the honest part: if a budget is too small to reach significance, we will say so rather than take it — and you will not have burned the relationship.
A good fit if
You know marketers and business owners who are frustrated with an incumbent
You are comfortable with us occasionally declining a lead you brought
Commission plus retained arrangements · UK, EU, US, Gulf, Australia
A longer-term arrangement for someone who wants to represent us in a market: a steady flow of introductions, local-language conversations, and a share of ongoing work rather than a one-off fee.
A good fit if
You have an existing network in one market rather than a cold list
You want recurring income from accounts you introduced
You can be a real point of contact in your time zone
Only have one introduction to make rather than a role in mind? That is what the referral programme is for — same idea, no commitment. For an ongoing arrangement with better terms, see the partner programme.
Delivery
Senior roles, client-facing
Clients pay for senior work, so these are experienced roles. You will speak to the people you are building for, and your code will be reviewed by someone who cares about it.
Senior Shopify Developer
Remote · salary or day rate agreed directly
Theme architecture, custom sections, checkout extensions on Plus, private apps, and the diagnostic work of finding out which of forty apps is costing a store its conversion rate.
What we need
Deep Liquid and modern JavaScript
You have taken a slow store and made it measurably faster
You can explain a technical trade-off to a non-technical merchant
Typed React front ends and Node APIs, database schema, authentication, queues and integrations. Work that has to survive real data rather than a demo dataset.
What we need
TypeScript by default, not as an afterthought
You design for retries and partial failure without being asked
You review other people’s code carefully and kindly
Work where you like. We agree working hours that overlap the team and the client rather than pretending time zones do not exist.
You talk to clients
Everyone on delivery speaks to the people they are building for. There is no account layer to hide behind, and no account layer distorting what you were asked for.
Two offices, no requirement to be in them
Birmingham and Islamabad exist if you want a desk. Nobody is measured on whether they use one.
Paid on outcomes, honestly stated
Delivery roles are paid a salary or day rate agreed with you directly. Project-finding roles are commission on work that closes. We will not publish a band we then negotiate away from.
Straight answer
When not to apply
You want to be handed fully specified tickets. Here you will often be the person who works out what the ticket should say.
You would rather not speak to clients. Everyone does, in every role.
You want a guaranteed retainer for finding projects. Hunting roles are commission — genuinely uncapped, genuinely not a salary.
You are looking for volume placement work. We take fewer projects and scope them properly, which means fewer, better introductions.
Questions
Working with us: 12 questions
What is a “project hunter” exactly?
Someone who finds businesses that need work doing and introduces them to us. You do not scope, price, or manage anything — you make an introduction to a real need, and we take it from there. It suits people who already talk to founders, merchants or marketers as part of their day.
Can I do this alongside another job or my own agency?
Yes, and many people do. Freelancers, consultants and small agencies introduce work that is outside their own scope. There is no exclusivity requirement.
What does your interview process look like?
A conversation about your work, then a look at something real you have shipped or closed — a repository, a store, a portfolio, an account you brought in. No unpaid multi-day take-home exercises, and no puzzle rounds unrelated to the job.
How is a project hunter paid?
Commission on work that closes, uncapped, agreed in writing before you start introducing anyone. There is no retainer and no base — this is deliberately not dressed up as a salaried role.
Do I need technical knowledge to bring projects in?
No. You need to recognise a problem worth solving and be able to describe it accurately. We handle every technical conversation from the first call onwards, and we would rather you did not guess at what is possible.
What happens if you turn down a lead I introduce?
It happens, and we will explain why. If a budget cannot reach significance or the work is outside our competence, taking it would damage your relationship with that person more than declining does. We tell them honestly and, where we can, point them elsewhere.
Is there a difference between this and your referral programme?
The referral programme is for one-off introductions by anyone. A project-finding role is for people who want to do it repeatedly, with better commission terms and direct support from us.
What are the delivery roles paid?
A salary or day rate agreed with you directly, based on the role and your experience. We do not publish a band, because a published band is usually a ceiling presented as a promise.
Is the work remote or do I need to relocate?
Remote. We have offices in Birmingham and Islamabad if you want a desk, but no role requires you to be in either, and nobody is assessed on office attendance.
Do you take on juniors or people changing career?
For delivery roles we mostly hire experienced people, because clients are paying for senior work and we will not bill them for someone learning. Project-finding roles are genuinely open to anyone with the right network.
Do you hire contractors as well as employees?
Yes. Both arrangements exist, and which one suits is part of the first conversation rather than something we decide for you.
How do I apply if none of these roles fit?
Email contact@livinservices.com describing what you do and what you would want to be responsible for. Speculative applications get read — several of the roles here exist because someone proposed them.

You get a written scope, one fixed price and a start date back — usually within two business days. No form to complete first, and no call to sit through before you know anything.
We usually reply within a couple of hours in working time.
No discovery fee, no deposit to hold a slot, and no retainer attached to a build.
We write the scope down and attach one fixed price to it, before any work starts.
