About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Introduction
Are you a Laravel enthusiast who gets a thrill from seeing e-commerce features come to life? If building, scaling, and optimizing online stores sounds like your idea of a satisfying day’s work, you might be the E-commerce Full Stack Developer we’re searching for. This role centers on a dynamic, full-time project based in Ajman (Al Mwaihat 3), where your expertise will help shape a top-notch shopping experience. Here’s your chance to make a real impact on a growing e-commerce business — not just push pixels or patch bugs.
About the Company
Our client isn’t your average online retailer; they’re a passionate team with a laser focus on delighting customers and innovating in the digital commerce space. While the office is in Ajman, the culture is anything but stuffy — think open discussions over strong coffee and spontaneous brainstorming sessions that sometimes run a little long because, well, people actually care. Growth is the name of the game here. Whether it’s experimenting with loyalty systems or launching flash sales, everyone’s ideas are genuinely heard (and often implemented). It’s a place where developers aren’t just coders — they’re collaborators and creators.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Architecting and developing new features for a large-scale Laravel-based e-commerce platform
- Building and maintaining clean, responsive frontends using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
- Integrating third-party APIs (think payment gateways, shipping, and inventory systems) to keep everything running smoothly
- Optimizing site speed, reliability, and the overall customer journey — because happy users are repeat users
- Collaborating closely with designers, product owners, and fellow developers to deliver pixel-perfect, conversion-focused solutions
- Troubleshooting and squashing bugs (the good kind of debugging, not just endless firefighting)
- Contributing ideas to enhance the loyalty program and other customer engagement features
- Staying current with best practices in both backend and frontend development — your curiosity will be put to good use
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- At least 3 years of hands-on experience with Laravel development
- Solid skills in frontend tech: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (comfortable tweaking, not just copying snippets)
- Experience working with MySQL or similar databases, plus a knack for API integration
- Previous work on e-commerce stores (bonus points if you’ve touched loyalty or rewards systems)
- A collaborative mindset and willingness to share knowledge (and maybe the occasional meme)
Nice-to-Haves:
- Familiarity with Vue.js, React, or similar modern frontend frameworks
- Experience with version control (Git is our go-to)
- Strong attention to detail — you spot the little things others miss
- A portfolio or live projects you’re proud of
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive salary, paid on time (no chasing finance, we promise)
- Supportive, close-knit team that values your input
- Office in Ajman’s Al Mwaihat 3 — easy access and a friendly vibe
- Opportunities to learn, grow, and make a visible impact on the business
- Flexible hours — as long as the work gets done, we’re not clock-watchers
- Occasional team lunches, and the odd “who can build it faster?” code challenge
You’ll join a team that genuinely appreciates hard work and creativity, with plenty of room to try new things. If you’re ready to take the next step in your Laravel journey — and help build something customers love — this is the place to do it.
