About Us

We builds scalable web platforms and enterprise solutions for real-estate, corporate services, and SaaS clients. We’re looking for a hands-on Senior MERN Developer who can lead engineering delivery, own architecture decisions, and mentor a growing team while shipping high-quality production software.

Role Overview

We are hiring a Senior Software (MERN) Developer to architect, build and operate customer-facing web applications. You will be the technical owner for one or more product streams — designing systems, leading development, driving best practices, and ensuring timely delivery. This is an onsite leadership role in Lahore.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and develop full-stack web applications using MongoDB, Express, React, Nest JS and Node.js (MERN) — focus on performance, reliability and security.
• Lead the technical roadmap and make architecture decisions (APIs, data models, caching, scaling).
• Own feature delivery end-to-end: design, implementation, tests, deployment and monitoring.
• Mentor and coach engineers; run code reviews and enforce clean code, modular design and testing culture.
• Collaborate with Product, UX, QA and DevOps to convert business requirements into technical solutions.
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker) and production observability.
• Drive improvements: refactors, performance optimizations, security hardening and developer productivity.
• Troubleshoot production incidents and lead post-mortems with actionable follow-ups.
• Help recruit, interview and onboard new developers.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• 6+ years professional software engineering experience; proven MERN track record.
• Strong expertise in React (functional components, hooks, state management patterns — Redux/Context), and modern frontend toolchains.
• Deep experience with Nest/ Node.js and server-side frameworks (Express or equivalents).
• MongoDB data modelling and query optimization experience.
• Solid knowledge of RESTful APIs and/or GraphQL design and implementation.
• Experience with TypeScript in backend/frontend projects (preferred).
• Production experience with Docker, CI/CD (GitHub Actions / Jenkins / GitLab CI), and basic cloud services (AWS / GCP / Azure).
• Strong testing discipline: unit, integration and end-to-end tests (Jest, Mocha, Cypress, etc.).
• Experience leading small engineering teams, conducting code reviews and technical interviews.
• Performance tuning, caching strategies (Redis/CDN), and security best practices.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication skills and fluent English (verbal & written).
• Able to work onsite in Lahore (daily collaboration with leadership & product teams).

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with Next.js, server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG).
• Familiarity with microservices, container orchestration (Kubernetes) and event-driven architectures.
• Experience in real-estate, property marketplace or enterprise SaaS products.
• Prior role as Tech Lead / Engineering Manager.

What We Expect in Your Application

• Updated CV / resume.
• GitHub / portfolio / live product links showing code or deployed apps.
• Short case study or description of 1–2 projects you led: problem, your approach, tech choices and measurable outcomes (traffic, performance, revenue, user metrics).
• Candidates without demonstrable past work or code/portfolio may not be considered.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to lead greenfield & high-visibility projects.
• Collaborative onsite environment and close partnership with leadership.
• Competitive salary and performance incentives.
• Learning budget and professional growth opportunities.
