Open role · Onsite · Johar Town, Lahore
Full-Stack Developer (AI-First), onsite in Johar Town, Lahore: TypeScript, Next.js and Node, built at speed with Claude and other AI tools.
You build the software around our clients’ Shopify stores, from internal dashboards and custom apps to integrations and AI-powered workflows, and you build it fast because Claude and other AI tools are part of how you work every day.
About the role
Full-Stack Developer (AI-First) at a Shopify Select Partner, onsite in Lahore.
Full-time · Engineering · reports to the founder.
The studio builds more than storefronts: custom Shopify apps, integrations, internal dashboards, and the calculators, scanners and audit tools on our own site. This role builds that software end to end, front end, API, database and deployment, with AI doing much of the typing and you doing the thinking, the reviewing and the testing.
We want someone whose way of working has already changed because of AI: who can brief Claude precisely, split a problem into steps an agent can carry out, check every line that comes back, and recognise the moment to put the tool down and write the code by hand.
What you will do
The work, week to week.
Six things this role owns. The proportions shift with the projects; the standard does not.
Build features end to end
Next.js or React Router front ends, Node APIs, Postgres or MySQL, and deployment on Vercel or a VPS, from the first commit to production.
Ship with AI every day
Claude Code, Claude in the browser, Cursor or Copilot and the APIs behind them, used to plan, write, test and refactor faster, with every change reviewed before it merges.
Put AI inside the products
Features that call the Claude and OpenAI APIs: structured outputs, tool use and retrieval over a client’s own data, with costs, limits and failures handled.
Connect Shopify to everything else
Admin and Storefront GraphQL, webhooks and Functions, plus links to ERPs, CRMs, n8n workflows and analytics.
Automate the studio’s own work
Scripts, agents and n8n flows that take repetitive work off the team: reports, audits, content pipelines and QA checks.
Leave work others can pick up
Tests where they pay for themselves, short READMEs and decision notes, so the next developer, or the next AI session, can carry on.
What you bring
What we look for, and what is a bonus.
Show us the work rather than telling us about it: a link beats a paragraph.
Three or more years of full-stack work in production
TypeScript or JavaScript across the stack, a modern React framework, Node, SQL and Git, and at least one product you built that real users depend on.
Genuine mastery of AI coding tools
You use Claude (Claude Code or the API) and other AI tools daily, can show things you shipped with them, and can explain how you prompt, review and test what they produce.
Judgement over volume
You can tell when generated code is wrong, insecure or slow, and you keep a codebase clean instead of letting it fill with half-checked suggestions.
API and data sense
REST and GraphQL, webhooks, auth, rate limits and retries; you have connected two systems and kept them in agreement.
Clear written English
Specs, prompts, pull-request notes and client updates that other people can act on without a meeting.
Nice to have: Shopify app or theme development · n8n, Make or Zapier automations · MCP servers or agent frameworks · Python for data work and scripting · a public GitHub with recent AI-assisted work.
