Senior Full-Stack Developer (MERN+ React Native)- Part Time

***READ THE COMPLETE JD BEFORE APPLYING

This is not a freelance “ticket delivery” role.

We’re looking for a hands-on architect-builder who is ready to own a system end-to-end and evolve into a Founding CTO/ Core Member once Phase 1 scales.

Minimum 6+ years of deep backend experience required.

Engagement Type: Part-Time (Pathway to Core Team Role)

Phase 1 – Build/ MVP Stage

• Duration: 9 months (Product Development Time: 2-3 Months)
• Equity: 0.5%–2% (based on experience)
• Revenue Share: 2% of Total Revenue (based on experience)
• Work Mode: Remote, Flexible Hours

Phase 2 – Growth Stage:

• Additional Equity: 0.5%–2% (based on experience)
• Revenue Share: 2% of Total Revenue (based on experience) or fixed monthly compensation
• Transition to Full-Time Core Role

We’re building something extraordinary — a next-generation digital commerce platform into a seamless experience. If you’re an experienced builder who wants to own, not just code, and architect the vision — this is your moment to be part of the founding story.

Your Role

You’ll help build the backend architecture, frontend systems, mobile apps, and integrations — collaborating directly with the founder to bring this project from 0 → 1.

P.S.: Phase 1 is our Build/MVP stage, structured as an equity-based engagement (0.5%–2% equity + 1%-2% revenue share). Apply only if this engagement structure works for you.

• Implement microservices for event-driven tasks (tracking, analytics, notifications)
• Develop Flutter/React Native apps for cross-platform launch
• Integrate affiliate SDKs, game APIs, ad modules, and wallet systems
• Manage DevOps, CI/CD, and cloud architecture (AWS / GCP)
• Ensure scalability, security, and modularity from Day 1
• Collaborate with the founder on architecture, sprints, and roadmap execution

• ✅ MERN + Node.js expertise – 5+ years of hands-on experience with Laravel, Postgres, MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js

• ✅ Security & Data Handling – Role-based access, JWT, encryption, fraud detection
• ✅ Mobile-first Development – Experience integrating Flutter or React Native apps
• ✅ Ownership Mindset – Strategic thinker with the ability to build fast, adapt fast, and ship clean

Important to have:

• Experience in E-commerce/ Reward Apps / Affiliate Platforms / Gaming / AdTech / FinTech
