Experienced Full Stack Developer Needed for E-Commerce Web App (React/Node.js)

We are a growing e-commerce startup aiming to build and launch a scalable online store platform. We are seeking a skilled full stack developer for end-to-end development, covering front-end UI/UX as well as back-end logic and database integration. The project is remote and freelance, with potential for ongoing work. The scope includes developing a responsive e-commerce website with user authentication, product catalog, shopping cart, payment integration with Stripe/PayPal, and an admin dashboard. You will integrate third-party APIs for inventory management and email notifications, ensure mobile-friendliness, SEO optimization, and secure the application using HTTPS and data encryption. Deployment will be to AWS or Heroku, with CI/CD pipelines for future updates.

You will design the frontend using React.js (or Vue.js if you prefer), Redux, and Tailwind CSS. The backend should be built with Node.js and Express, with RESTful APIs and real-time features via Socket.io, and use either MongoDB or PostgreSQL for data. Strong experience in JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node, Express, and cloud deployment is required, as well as proficiency with Git, Docker, and testing tools. Please include a portfolio with similar e-commerce or web app projects, and propose your tech stack and high-level approach. The initial MVP is expected within 4–6 weeks, with bi-weekly check-ins over Slack or Zoom.

1. CV or resume (LinkedIn and GitHub link)
