Job description

We are looking for a senior web engineer who has shipped non-trivial products to production and can carry a delivery squad through architecture, code review, and the messy parts of launch. You will work directly with founders, product leads, and senior engineers across multiple time zones.

• Architecture and delivery. Lead the design of front-end systems for enterprise apps, dashboards, and AI tooling. Own the path from RFC to released code.
• Quality bar. Set the standard for testing, performance, accessibility, and observability on the web. Pair with engineers to keep that bar honest.
• Cross-functional partnership. Work side-by-side with designers, backend engineers, and product. Translate ambiguous requirements into clear scope and trade-offs.
• Mentorship. Coach mid-level and junior engineers through reviews, pairing, and design walkthroughs.
• 5+ years of production experience with TypeScript and modern React (hooks, server components, suspense).
• Deep familiarity with Next.js (App Router), state management patterns, and edge / serverless deployment.
• Strong eye for performance budgets, Core Web Vitals, and accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA).
• Comfortable owning the full stack of a feature: API design, schema, caching, queues, and the UI.
• Track record of code reviews that raise the team, not just gatekeep.
• Experience with AI / LLM integrations (RAG, evals, streaming UIs).
• Open-source contributions or a public portfolio of shipped work.
• Background in regulated industries (fintech, health, insurance, defense).

We optimize for outcomes over theatrics. Leaders code, review, and ship. We default to documentation, async-first communication, and tight feedback loops with clients. Expect a clear scope, real ownership, and the autonomy to call out trade-offs early.

• Department Engineering
• Location Lahore, Pakistan
• Work mode Hybrid
• Employment Full-time
• Experience Senior (5+ years)
• Email [e-mail]
