MERN Stack Lead

As a Lead MERN Tech at Nitro Commerce, you will be responsible for steering the growing dev team and laying down the architecture for future projects. You will be leading the development of core platform components for multiple high-growth e-commerce brands. This includes architecting full-stack features using MongoDB, Express, React, and Node, reviewing and writing code meticulously, designing scalable systems, debugging performance issues, collaborating with product and design teams, mentoring developers, and participating in hiring decisions, roadmap planning, and technical direction. Your qualifications should include at least 4 years of full-stack development experience with MERN, with a minimum of 1 year of experience in leading or mentoring dev teams. You should be deeply comfortable with React.js, proficient in Node/Express, have a solid understanding of MongoDB, and experience with CI/CD, Docker, and deployment workflows. Your focus on clean code, testing, and performance is crucial, along with a track record of shipping real-world projects. We are looking for a candidate who is a system thinker, comfortable with both big picture and low-level details, a hands-on builder willing to dive into unfamiliar code, someone who values ownership and clarity, and a pragmatist who knows when to refactor and when to ship. Experience with headless CMS, GraphQL, or e-commerce infrastructure is a bonus. At Nitro Commerce, you will have the opportunity to work on real problems with autonomy, influence architecture and development culture, receive competitive compensation and generous equity, and be part of a fast-paced team that values curiosity and execution. Join us in rethinking how digital storefronts are built and scaled.,
