About this role
This role is not open to fresh graduates or entry-level applicants
We are exclusively looking for engineers with hands-on production experience. If you are a recent graduate, have under 5 years of professional experience, or have not shipped real e-commerce applications — please do not apply.
✕ Less than 5 years of professional engineering experience
✕ No production experience with Next.js, React, or Node.js
✕ Never built or owned a full e-commerce storefront and backend
✕ No hands-on database work — MongoDB, Supabase, SQL, or NoSQL
✕ Unable to design, build, and manage APIs from scratch
We are looking for a highly experienced Full Stack Software Engineer to join our onsite team in Islamabad. You will own the full development lifecycle of e-commerce web applications — from database architecture and API design to frontend delivery using Next.js and React. You must have deep MERN stack experience, strong database skills across SQL and NoSQL, and a proven background in the e-commerce space. Experience with ODOO integrations, auto parts platforms, or automotive data standards (ACES / PIES) is a significant advantage.
Key Responsibilities
-
Frontend — Next.js & React
-
Build fast, SEO-optimised storefronts and web apps using Next.js (App Router / Pages Router) and React.
-
Implement server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), and incremental static regeneration (ISR) based on use-case requirements.
-
Build reusable component libraries with state management via Redux, Zustand, or Context API.
-
Optimise for Core Web Vitals, mobile-first responsiveness, and cross-browser compatibility.
-
Backend — Node.js & API Development
-
Design, build, and maintain RESTful and GraphQL APIs using Node.js and Express.js.
-
Handle complex business logic: product catalog, cart, checkout, order management, and fulfillment pipelines.
-
Implement authentication and authorisation using JWT, OAuth 2.0, and role-based access control (RBAC).
-
Write clean, testable Node.js code with solid understanding of the event loop, streams, and async patterns.
-
Integrate third-party services: payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal), shipping APIs, and tax engines.
-
Database Architecture & Management
-
Design and manage MongoDB schemas for high-volume e-commerce data — products, variants, inventory, orders, and users.
-
Set up, configure, and manage Supabase (PostgreSQL) for relational data needs, including row-level security and real-time subscriptions.
-
Work confidently with both SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) databases — selecting the right tool based on data shape and access patterns.
-
Write efficient queries, design proper indexes, and optimise slow queries in production environments.
-
Handle database migrations, seeding, backups, and schema versioning.
-
E-Commerce Platform & Integrations
-
Build custom e-commerce storefronts and backends outside of managed platforms — full ownership of architecture and delivery.
-
Integrate and work within headless commerce architectures using Medusa.js or custom-built commerce engines.
-
Work with e-commerce tools and platforms (Shopify knowledge is welcomed but not required — we use it as a gauge of e-commerce exposure, not as a job requirement).Context
-
Implement product feeds, catalog sync, pricing logic, discount engines, and multi-currency support.
-
Collaboration & Communication
-
Communicate technical decisions clearly to engineers, PMs, and non-technical stakeholders in English.
-
Produce technical documentation, API references, and architecture decision records (ADRs).
-
Lead and participate in code reviews with a constructive, knowledge-sharing mindset.
-
Proactively flag blockers, contribute to sprint planning, and own feature delivery end-to-end.

Auto Parts & Automotive E-Commerce
Prior experience building or working on auto parts e-commerce websites — fitment filters, vehicle selectors, part compatibility logic.
Understanding of ACES (Aftermarket Catalog Exchange Standard) and PIES (Product Information Exchange Standard) data formats.
Ability to ingest, normalise, and expose ACES/PIES datasets via APIs or database structures for search and fitment filtering.
Experience handling large automotive parts catalogs with complex taxonomy, fitment tables, and cross-reference data.
