This is not a role for someone who wants to hand off a diagram and walk away. You'll lead a small team (a Senior Software Engineer and a Junior Developer), make the architecture calls, and still be writing and reviewing code yourself.<br><br> </div><div> <br>We want someone who thinks in terms of solutions delivered, not hours logged — who's willing to go the extra mile when a project needs it, and who's spent real time at a well-known Pakistani software house doing both hands-on development and solution architecture work.<br><br> </div><div> <br><br> </div><br></br><h3>What You'll Do</h3><ul> <li>Propose end-to-end solution architecture for new projects and features across our portfolio — websites, SaaS-style solutions, and backend systems (including data-heavy builds like our Parts Blue vendor-catalog backend)</li> <li>Stay hands-on as lead developer — writing and reviewing production code in React and Node.js, not just producing architecture diagrams</li> <li>Lead and mentor a small development team, setting the technical direction and quality bar for their work</li> <li>Make the call on stack, tooling, and system design trade-offs, and stand behind those decisions</li> <li>Partner directly with our Technical Project Manager to scope, estimate, and sequence work across multiple concurrent projects</li> <li>Own code review standards and the overall technical quality/reliability bar for the team's output</li> <li>Take ownership of problems beyond your immediate ticket when that's what it takes to actually ship</li> </ul><br></br><h3>What We're Looking For</h3><ul> <li>7+ years of software development experience (10+ years ideal), including meaningful time in a Solution Architect or technical leadership capacity — not purely an individual-contributor track</li> <li>That experience should include time at a known, well-regarded Pakistani software house</li> <li>Continued, active hands-on development — you should still want to be in the code, not just reviewing it from a distance</li> <li>Strong, demonstrable React and Node.js expertise</li> <li>Real experience architecting SaaS-style, multi-tenant, or multi-client web solutions</li> <li>Comfort owning both frontend and backend architecture decisions</li> <li>Familiarity with modern tooling — Sanity, Vercel, Supabase, Cursor, GitHub (openness to newer AI-assisted tools like Lovable is a plus)</li> <li>A track record of leading or mentoring developers</li> <li>An outcomes-first mindset — you measure success by what got delivered, not hours logged</li> <li>Strong communication skills, including with non-technical stakeholders</li> </ul><div> <br>If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.<br><br> </div><div><br></div><br></br><h3>Benefits</h3><ul> <li>Remote working opportunity</li> <li>Opportunity to work across multiple products and projects. </li> <li>Exposure to modern technologies and AI-assisted development tools. </li> <li>Opportunity to work closely with technical and project leadership. </li> </ul><div><br></div>
