Next-Gen E-commerce Platform for Smart City Residents

In the rapidly evolving landscape of smart cities, our enterprise company recognizes the need for an innovative e-commerce solution that caters specifically to urban residents. We are embarking on a project to design and implement a next-generation online marketplace that leverages the latest technology trends such as headless commerce architecture, personalization algorithms, and augmented reality (AR) for virtual try-ons. Our platform will integrate with robust e-commerce solutions like Shopify Plus, WooCommerce, and Magento, and will be powered by advanced search and recommendation engines such as Algolia. Additionally, the platform will support multiple payment gateways, including Stripe and PayPal, to facilitate seamless and secure transactions. The core objective of this project is to enhance the shopping experience by offering personalized recommendations based on user behavior and preferences, utilizing subscription models to increase customer retention, and integrating social commerce features to leverage peer influence. We aim to create an intuitive and engaging platform that not only meets the high standards of smart city residents but also anticipates their future needs as urban living continues to evolve. We are seeking a skilled professional to lead the development of this e-commerce platform over a timeline of 16-24 weeks. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with our internal teams and must demonstrate expertise in e-commerce technologies, user experience design, and smart city solutions.
