Lahore, Pakistan
Full-time
Hybrid
250,000–450,000 PKR / month

About the Role

We're hiring a Full Stack Developer to join STACKONN’s engineering team in Lahore. You’ll work on production features end-to-end — from clean UI in Next.js/React to reliable APIs in Node.js — with a strong focus on performance, maintainability, and shipping. Work style: Hybrid (3 days in-office in Lahore / 2 days remote).

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain web features using Next.js/React with a strong UX and performance mindset
  • Design and implement REST APIs in Node.js and integrate third‑party services (payments, email, maps, etc.)
  • Model data and write efficient queries (PostgreSQL preferred; MongoDB/Firebase where needed)
  • Own features end-to-end: planning, implementation, testing, rollout, monitoring, and iteration
  • Write clean, readable code with solid error handling and clear documentation
  • Collaborate closely with design/product to turn Figma into pixel‑clean UI
  • Set up and improve CI/CD, environments, and release hygiene (staging → production)
  • Debug production issues fast, perform root‑cause analysis, and prevent regressions
  • Review PRs and mentor juniors through practical feedback (not theory)
  • Keep the product secure: auth, permissions, data validation, and basic OWASP hygiene

Requirements

  • 4–5+ years building and shipping web applications in production
  • Strong JavaScript/TypeScript fundamentals (you understand the “why”, not just the syntax)
  • Solid experience with React and/or Next.js (routing, SSR/SSG, data fetching, performance)
  • Backend experience with Node.js (Express/Nest) and API design best practices
  • Comfortable with databases, migrations, and indexing (PostgreSQL strongly preferred)
  • Experience with authentication/authorization (JWT, sessions, RBAC)
  • Comfortable with Git workflows (branches, PRs, reviews) and writing meaningful commit messages
  • Testing mindset (unit/integration where it matters; not checkbox testing)
  • Clear communication: you can explain tradeoffs and keep stakeholders aligned
  • Based in Lahore (or able to work from Lahore) and comfortable with hybrid work

Nice to Have

  • Docker in day-to-day dev or deployments
  • Cloud experience (AWS/GCP) and basic monitoring/logging
  • Redis/queues/background jobs
  • Experience with performance tuning (profiling, caching, reducing API latency)
  • Experience with payments (Stripe) or email infrastructure
  • Prior startup experience where you shipped fast without breaking quality

Benefits & Perks

  • Market‑competitive salary (negotiable for exceptional candidates) + performance-based growth
  • Hybrid work culture — we care about output and quality, not clock-watching
  • Paid leaves and paid holidays
  • Medical coverage
  • Learning budget (courses/books) and room to own bigger responsibilities
  • Clean culture: direct feedback, no politics, no toxic behavior
