Location: Karachi / Hybrid
Type: Full-time
Experience Level: Senior 8 years + Experience

Role overview

We are seeking an experienced Senior Technical Lead / Senior Full Stack Developer to own technical architecture, lead implementation, and manage a small cross-functional engineering team. This is a hands-on leadership role covering backend, mobile/web frontends, integrations, DB design, security, and the delivery pipeline.

Key responsibilities

• Architect, build, and maintain scalable software systems (frontend, backend, DB, integrations).
• Lead, mentor, and manage a multi-skilled development team.
• Design and implement secure, reliable APIs and backend services.
• Oversee mobile and web app development and ensure consistent UX implementation.
• Integrate and manage third-party services (payment gateways, identity/KYC providers, notification providers, etc.).
• Implement and manage payment transaction flows, webhooks, and reconciliation logic.
• Ensure security, privacy, and compliance best practices (data protection, secure storage, tokenization).
• Establish CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, deployments, and monitoring.
• Document system architecture, APIs, and operational runbooks.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate requirements into technical plans and delivery timelines.

Required technical skills & experience

• 8+ years in full-stack development with demonstrable leadership of small teams.
• Backend: Node.js (Express/NestJS) or Python (Django / FastAPI) — strong API design skills.
• Frontend / Mobile: React, React Native, or Flutter — practical experience shipping mobile applications.
• Databases: PostgreSQL / MySQL and experience with a NoSQL option (MongoDB / Firebase).
• Cloud & DevOps: AWS / GCP / DigitalOcean; Docker; CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI or equivalent).
• Security: API security, tokenization, TLS, secure key management, and general system hardening.
• Payments / FinTech: Direct, hands-on experience integrating payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, Braintree, Adyen, PayPal, or regional gateways). Experience implementing Payment Intents, tokenization, webhooks, refunds, dispute handling, and multi-party (marketplace) flows (e.g., Stripe Connect) is required.
• Experience with third-party identity/KYC providers (e.g., Onfido, Trulioo, Jumio) and handling KYC workflows is highly desirable.
• Strong proficiency with version control (Git) and engineering best practices (code review, testing, release management).

Preferred / nice-to-have

• Prior experience in FinTech, payments, or marketplace platforms.
• Familiarity with PCI-DSS implications and secure card-data handling patterns (even if using hosted/tokenized flows).
• Experience with event-driven systems, message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ), or serverless architectures.
• UI/UX tooling familiarity (Figma, Adobe XD) and ability to guide implementation fidelity.
• Prior startup / early product-stage experience (MVP to production).

Soft skills

• Strong ownership, communication, and stakeholder management.
• Comfortable making architectural trade-offs in an early-stage product environment.
• Mentoring and growing a small technical team; hands-on with code and reviews.

What we offer

• Leadership role with meaningful technical ownership.
• Flexible hybrid work and competitive compensation.
• Opportunity to build and manage a focused engineering team.
